In 1974, I bought a beautiful mid blue, crushed velvet dress for a Graylands Teacher's College ball. I was 18. In 1997 my gorgeous daughter wore my dress to her year 11 formal. She was 16. What a thrill it was this evening, to see my beautiful 16 year old granddaughter off to her year 11 formal in my dress.
That's so "uniting" to see it worn in each generation! It's marvelous that you should have the photo record of each of you as well! At this stage, it should be carefully set aside of the next generation!
@Weezilou Thanks Lousie. My nearly 13 year old granddaughter has already said that she wants to wear it to her year 11 formal and they have both flagged the idea of keeping for their potential children. I'm hoping that will be a minimum of 20 years away, by which time I'll pushing 90!
