Well, not really your first, but what's the first one you remember? Mine was lavender organdy with picot edges on all the ruffles. Itched and scratched like the Dickens but I felt SO pretty in it, it didn't matter. Polly
I'm sure it was something my mother made as she made all my dresses when I was a child. Probably something in yellow that would have a long sashes to be tied in a beautiful bow in the back and of course it would have a FULL skirt for those can-can petticoats which she would also make. Many times s he would also make a coordinating coat.
Yellow lawn, with embroidered white ribbons at the waist. Made me look extremely jaundiced. At least my grandmother got the yellow dress out of her system early on... ;-)

LOL.
My memory does not go back far enough. My mother made all of my and my twin sister's clothes up to the time I started making my own. The "first Easter" dress I have a very specific memory of was in '48. Our home had burned, we were without ANY of its contents, and I got my *first* store-bought (Sears) dress ever: Frilly aqua organdy with an underskirt which was HOOPED. Woo Hoo!

My Grandmother made all my and my sister's dresses until we got up in high school. Then I was making my own clothes. We always looked so cute in the pictures I still have! Barbara in rainy SC
