0 a collection of personal possessions, such as clothes, that a woman takes to her new home when she gets married --
The collection of a "trousseau" was a common coming-of-age rite until approximately the 1950s; it was typically a step on the road to marriage between courting a man and engagement.
The more elaborate shoes could be part of a bride's trousseau, but could also be given as religious offerings or be themselves the object of veneration.
Trousseau was considered an outstanding teacher.
On the evening before the wedding, a mysterious fire broke out; it was extinguished before the building was destroyed, but not before it destroyed her wedding dress and vast trousseau.
The trousseau that was meant for her wedding day she now wears as an enticement to all the local men.
There are also felt prayer rugs and trousseau bags.
His remains and the mortuary trousseau are displayed at the museum.
At one time, these were an indispensable part of the trousseau of a bride-to-be.
