It is unlucky -
"For a bride to take a last peep at the mirror before starting for church.
To look into a mirror at dusk, or night-time, unless the room is well lighted, is not pleasant : for there is a dread of something uncanny peeping over the shoulder ; such an apparition would portend death."
Hewett 1900
