Your First Easter dress?

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!

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

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
