And yes, I love ...I love how joyful that yellow is. And yes, I love that it has history. We haven't had many items with family history - we were the ones who moved out, so we had mostly new things. Now it's slowly coming to me and I enjoy every little bit of it.<br /><br />I'm not sure what to do with it; for now, it's simply hanging in my wardrobe. I really like it the way it is, too, but it does not <i>quite</i> fit me, so there's a problem. (Plus the lace is synthetic and rather scratchy.)<br />It has the correct width, more or less, but not in correct horizontal proportions... The skirt is too long for me and the bodice, on the contrary, too short - as if mom's torso was generally shorter than mine - not just that my waist is lower, but the bust point on the dress is higher than mine and it's as if her neck was higher and slimmer or something, too. Maybe it's the position of shoulders? And the sleeves are a tad short, now that I look at the photos.<br />Another example of how we're all different...Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-9659329819672652912011-05-03T17:01:11.174+02:002011-05-03T17:01:11.174+02:00I absolutely love that dress.

Your mother didn't save it for you not to wear it. <br /><br />I also wish I had learned to dance. I am clumsy when I go to them and I can tell many others have had practice.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-87717682013187825412011-05-03T15:15:26.019+02:002011-05-03T15:15:26.019+02:00hey, i thought i recognized those shoes :)))!
