My friends and I used to love to play dress-up with the costumes my Mom kept in the attic.
My Grandmother saved old clothing, too. I wore her long, silver, silk-lamé dress with a sweet little cape from the 1920's to my High School prom. (It was a great contrast with my funky-punky hair!)
We had a Moroccan fez which smelled awful and all sorts of other odd treasures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories!

ReplyDeleteHaha, yes, Elizabeth! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! What a good mom you are, making her things to wear. My grandmother also once made me a skirt and bonnet a la Little House on the Prairie, which I adored! :-)
ReplyDeletewhoa...hold on a minute...when i said make i meant paper hats, and crocheted necklaces....i never said i could sew...let alone follow a pattern! LOL
ReplyDeleteWell hey, that's still pretty neat! And if Shelby loves it, that's all that counts. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour Grandmother's dress sounds beautiful. Perfect backdrop for punky hair!
ReplyDeleteI wish I saved my bridesmaid dresses for my kids to dress up in.
It was quite a dress, Vivian! Wish it still fit. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll be brave enough to post a photo of it someday...
