As I’m preparing my studio this afternoon for some pre-prom photography of our closest teen friend, Jill, I began to go back in time – WAY, back in time. I quickly pulled out my prom dress which, for some reason, is hanging right in the guest closet, and took a couple of photos. My goal was to compare the fashion of the late 1960s to today. My dress was made by mother-in-law to be, which I’m surprised I didn’t remember until I went searching for the size tag. I still like the olive green color of the top and the flower fabric layer. It’s kind of in line with today’s peace/flower fashion genre. I measured it, too. The bodice is 26″ inches wide and the hips are 34″. Such a long, long time ago. I also wore white gloves to my elbows (and I think I still own those, too). I don’t know what I’m saving this for. I strongly doubt that either of my granddaughters will ever, ever wear it.
