Recreating Frank Yerby’s Scarlet Gown | Augusta Georgia News

Step into Augusta’s literary past as the Lucy Craft Laney Museum celebrates Frank Yerby with a dazzling three-day tribute, culminating in the unveiling of a stunning, historically accurate wedding gown inspired by his novel “A Woman Called Fancy.” Designed by Noelle Corbin, who meticulously researched 1880s fashion using Yerby’s own descriptions and vintage ads, the scarlet lace dress brings Fancy Williamson’s iconic style to life. Created inside Yerby’s former home on Paine College’s campus, this isn’t just fashion—it’s history. The event kicks off September 3rd and peaks on the 5th at 1:30 p.m., with more recreations—including a dramatic black sequined gown—on the horizon.
