I don't think she ever wore makeup or even much jewelry. BUT, it probably was fairly fashionable for the time. I do have the receipt for the fabric... $13 and some odd cents, which included the waistband I think. Yes, I do think it is special that I still have it. She did love her pillbox hats though! I love all those flowers which probably came from my Great-Grand's garden, as she was still living at home. I also have my Mum's wedding dress - tea length BLUE (or it was at the time - it's also faded) with white flocking on it. Sweet heart neckline and cap sleeves. She wore a little lace Dutch style cap, pearls and white gloves. Since she proposed to Dad; and she said she wasn't sure that he'd show up - she wasn't about to put things off so he could changed his mind! She said that there wasn't much choice and she bought "off the rack". It was cute on her; although blue was NEVER her favorite color. CheerioLeslie[/QUOTE]
