Something Borrowed

This is an old photo — I have longish hair! — but I wanted to show you that I own this dress, which used to belong to my mother. It’s roomy and comfy and good for when I’m feeling self-conscious about my body, with perfect little buttons at the sleeves. I asked my mom if she could provide me with any pictures of herself in this dress and it turns out that she got a lot of use out of it; she wore it everywhere, including on her honeymoon and on her wedding day.
That’s my dad on the very right, and my mom in The Dress. She also showed me a bunch of other photos of her in her youth, many of which I will be sharing on this blog.
That is so wonderful. The dress is gorgeous and I love the fact that your mother wore it as well. My mother got rid of all of her clothes routinely (she is not a packrat) and it brings me continual sadness…
Both you and your mom look gorgeous.
ummm…this is fabulous!
your mother is beautiful!
this is so lovely! and both you and your mother look amazing in that dress, in sort of different ways.
The Clothes Horse: Oh, I know — my mom has discarded so many clothes that I see from old pictures and I feel so sad that I can’t have them! But I am lucky that she kept this dress…
Jenny: I miss you!!!
theuglyearring: Thank you!
Diana: She’s a wonderful woman, too — I’m very lucky.
Tim: Thank you — also, I didn’t know you had a blog! Consider yourself bookmarked.
You both look beautiful in that dress. Your mother must be so pleased to see you wear it.
