A Blue Taffeta Dress
Let me tell you about a dress and the last time I felt beautiful.
Growing up I had an obsession with the past, particularly the time of western expansion in the United States. I loved books like “Little House” and all the American girl diaries. I wanted clothes to match and my grandmother obligingly made me a simple long sleeved calico dress that I wore until it was practically rags. I quickly learned that I too could learn how to make my own clothes and it would put me in touch with the people that were in my books that had to make their own clothes by hand.
