1980's Dress April 10, 2022

 When I was growing up, it was not uncommon for my mom to make my clothes....especially dresses.  In fact, mom used to pick out one type of fabric and make three dresses out of different patterns for all three of us girls so that we would be kind of matching.  

Well, when Carol was about 12 or 13 she picked out a pattern and mom made it.  It was this very frilly, lacy dress with pearl buttons down the front.  I know when I got it as a hand me down it was a favorite of mine to wear to church.  I felt like a princess.

I tried it on Grace, and it fit!  She does not like wearing it because she says that the lace is too itchy, but she wore it for a few pictures.
