Forebear Friday

Here's Marjorie's (my Grandmother) wedding dress that she made featured in The Graphic Newspaper in 1931.

You can read about the dress in the text above the photo. She later turned this dress into a gorgeous T-back number which I remember trying on as a teenager, so beautifully made. I have to ask Dad if he still has it somewhere.



Hope you've all had a great week.

Oh My...that dress is stunning and I loved reading the article about it as well. Hope it is still around somewhere. Bet you couldn't get squirrel fur now and how expensive would it have been then....we don't have squirrels!!
