As a young bride, Vicky Hodgson adhered to the cultural 'norms' of heterosexual wedding attire, as expected. She wore the long-established Western ritual of a white dress and veil and carried a traditional bouquet of pale-coloured flowers. The most striking element of this ensemble was the wedding dress, a significant purchase made by her parents. It symbolized her conformity to consumeristic ideology and the discourse of powerlessness and repression associated with this ritual. The white dress, a symbol of purity and innocence, was a stark representation of the societal expectations placed upon her. In The Wedding Dress sequence, she appears dressed as a traditional bride, then ties her veil out of the way before slowly cutting the white wedding dress in two. Not stopping there, she removes and discards the dress, leaving herself dressed only in underclothes and the veil.
