Wedding Tradition Something Borrowed

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

My daughter will be getting married next summer. We were talking about the tradition of her wearing something borrowed to bring good luck. What is typically the borrowed item?

Signed,

Dear Thinking ahead,

Traditionally, something borrowed is usually heirloom jewelry such as a necklace, earrings, bracelet, or tiara. However, a borrowed item can also be the veil, wedding dress, gloves, or other item of clothing.
