I used some of the material to make a christening gown for my firstborn. My wedding dress was cream...very daring 31 years ago  and people thought that meant I wasn't a virgin but I was...oh how attitudes have changed.
Never used the christening gown as my mum gave me the gown I and my four sisters were christened in. All of my kids were christened in that gown.
Left them behind when I left my husband...probably in a landfill somewhere. |

when my grandma got married it was during the war and the women in the village clubbed together their clothing coupons to give her for the material. It was a beautiful dress and she used to take it out to show us. My mum couldnt wear it when she got married cause she had a belly full of arms and legs so the idea was i would, then i had a belly full of arms and legs as well  |

The time before that, it was up around her waist

Like Sassy I had a cream coloured one but I wasn't a virgin.
35 years later I still have it and I'm sure it would see me out as a shroud ... it's nylon and indestructible! ahhhh the 70's eh?
Still fits, well the lace poncho I wore over it does.

We had a roof leak so it got damaged but i don't think it would have still fit even if it hadn't. If you can still fit into it after a decade you must be doing well. |
