On 15 April 1879, Nathalia Bertha AURISCH married Gottlob Immanuel WANKE.
They lived in Narre Warren

Her daughter, Adelaide, married William Friedrich BLOBEL.
William Friedrich Blobel was an orchardist around Templestowe. 

Adelaide's grandaughter is Barbara Sharp 

DTHS has no acquisition for for this dress so we do not know the donor or other specifics.

We have discovered that Gwendoline Adelaide Wanke married Kenneth John Aumann in 1949 and they lived in Templestowe.  It is possible that Gwen may have donated the wedding dress to DTHS.
