after the wedding last Tuesday
2 years ago at the Romeo & Juliet ballet, CCP
I figured this gown deserves a post as it was my Mom's gown in the 70's
She wore it to my coronation (yeah, yeah, laugh now)
as Little Queen of our Parish
and 36 years after, the fabric still looks good
Quality of most of the things before are really better
I had it re-worked by my modiste
It used to be a loose cowl neck
I had her make it one-sided and added the beads
We also trimmed down the sides to give it shape
And of course, my Mom always feels happy when I tell her I wore it to
somewhere special
Now, that's true blue upcycling!
