This was a high school prom dress. I made lace trim for several dresses back then, when I had lots of time. I doubt any granddaughters would want to wear the dress, but maybe one of them might want the trim for something else.
Here's a close up to show the glass beads in center of each flower.
This is the v-stitch skirt and vest. The skirt was lined and I had a blouse made of the same material.
Vests/bolero jackets were popular in the early 70s, so I made several.
I had a red slip/lining for this dress.
This was another prom dress. One of my daughters decided to be a princess for Halloween. She wanted to wear this dress, so it already has had some extra wear. I joked that it fitted her better at 11 than it fitted me at 17.
One spring, I made these hooded capes for my daughters. They were sad when they outgrew their capes.
These are just some of the projects made between 1970 and 1990. I think they still look new and could have more years of wear left in them for someone to enjoy.
