澳大利亚摄影师艾芙通过两年的深入调查发现了一段尘封的历史——她的母亲玛丽亚和朋友埃莱尼在1950年代共用过同一件婚礼礼服 1。经过追踪，艾芙确认至少有六位新娘穿过这件礼服 1。这件不断"旅行"的婚纱见证了战后希腊移民妇女来澳大利亚的故事，反映了当时移民社区面临的经济困难和文化适应挑战 1。
玛丽亚·亚历克西斯19岁，埃莱尼·杜卡斯22岁，她们在70年前乘坐MS Tasmania号船从雅典来到悉尼 1。玛丽亚于1956年10月18日到达悉尼后十天穿着这件礼服结婚，一周后埃莱尼也穿上同一件礼服走入婚礼 1。这件礼服可能来自David Jones或Mark Foy百货公司，由玛丽亚的哥哥购买 1。
1950年代，MS Tasmania、Begona和Castel Felice等船只运送大批希腊妇女来到澳大利亚 1。许多新娘是所谓的"代理新娘"，有些甚至在澳大利亚才第一次见到自己的未来丈夫 1。共用婚纱反映了当时新移民家庭的经济现实。如今，这件礼服已失踪，下落不明 1。
Australian photographer Eve uncovered a remarkable piece of her family history when she discovered that her mother Maria and her mother's friend Eleni had shared the same wedding dress in the 1950s.1 What began as a personal curiosity evolved into a two-year investigation that revealed at least six brides wore the identical gown.1 The dress stands as a poignant symbol of post-war Greek migration to Australia, documenting both the economic hardships and cultural transitions experienced by immigrant women during that era.1
Maria Alexis and Eleni Doukas, then aged 19 and 22 respectively, had arrived in Sydney seventy years prior aboard the MS Tasmania, traveling from Athens.1 Maria married just ten days after arriving in Sydney on October 18, 1956, wearing the dress, and Eleni donned the same gown for her wedding only a week later.1 The dress itself likely originated from either David Jones or Mark Foy department stores and was purchased by Maria's brother.1 During the 1950s, vessels including the MS Tasmania, Begona, and Castel Felice transported Greek women to Australia, many of whom were "proxy brides" who met their husbands for the first time only after arriving in their new country.1
Through her research, Eve traced the dress to at least four additional women beyond Maria and Eleni, establishing its circulation among the close-knit immigrant community.1 Despite its historical significance, the dress has since disappeared, and its current whereabouts remain unknown.1
