An old, yellowed wedding gown. It was her wedding dress. In the book, it says she never took it off.

The young man's resemblance to Miss Havisham and the use of the name "Pip" suggest a connection to Pip's benefactor. Additionally, the young man's knowledge of Pip's past and his invitation to visit Miss Havisham further confirm Pip's suspicions. This, combined with Pip's realization that the young man is Estella's brother, solidifies the link to Miss Havisham.
Pip first met Herbert Pocket at Satis House, where they were both invited to play cards with Miss Havisham. Herbert was helping his father, the Pale Young Gentleman, to improve his education and manners. They bonded over their shared frustration with Miss Havisham's eccentricities.
Pip: The protagonist of the story, a young orphan who dreams of becoming a gentleman. Estella: The beautiful but cold-hearted ward of Miss Havisham, who becomes the object of Pip's affection. Miss Havisham: A wealthy and eccentric woman who was jilted on her wedding day and has since raised Estella to seek revenge on men. Joe Gargery: Pip's kind and humble brother-in-law, who serves as a father figure to him. Magwitch: A convict who becomes Pip's secret benefactor and plays a key role in the plot.
Georg Friederic Handel (1685-1759) was a famous German composerwho spent much time in England. Herbert first met Pip at Miss Havisham's. Pip used to sing songs there and pretend to be beating out the tempo with a blacksmith's hammer, as he did when assisting at the forge at home. I believe Herbert also called Pip "the musical blacksmith." I can't see any special significance, just a friend giving a friend a special nickname. Maybe Herbert thought the name Pip was inappropriate for someone who was to inherit a fortune and become a gentleman.
