The wedding gown looked beautiful on the package. I loved the clothing back and enjoyed looking at all the old patterns too!

I loved your post. The history of your Mother and her sewing was so interesting. I like to hear how other women provided for themselves. My Grandmother did not saw her patterns but even if she had, I don’t know if I would have kept them secure. I do have a few of the early ones that I made. and to look at your Mother’s wedding dress was a glimpse of how modest women were at that time. I kind of like it. The appropriateness of the ceremony seems more like how it should be. Rather than Las Vegas show girls in white.

I think you could do it, with todays fabrics, it would be more ‘modern’ anyway. [gee, even the word 'modern' is outdated.]

Made me smile. I live in casual land too. It’s interesting to think about how the fashion of a community reflects the community’s interests, climate, culture….
