Grandma's Dress

The dress that Donna is wearing in this photo was made by Grandma McLean in 1972. The dress was a little big when she received it, but fit fine a few years later. Okay, maybe it was a little short by then, but you can't see it. With stockings, it looked great. We lived in Manhattan, Kansas when this picture was taken. Graduate school encouraged us to stretched out the wardrobes as far as they would go. This dress was received the same time as Donna's blue jumper with the red shirt, which I have shared before. I loved those two dresses so much. As I remember Donna wore one of them every Sunday to church. You have to remember, the memory only remembers what it wants to. I'm sure, thinking back, there must have been more dresses in her wardrobe. I know there were summer dresses that I made and other dresses from Grandma. Little girl dresses are so cute. Donna looks so happy in her dress.
