I had a lovely night on thursday night when my sister and niece came over to go through my box of 1970s and ’80s cloths, looking for dresses to wear for their party on Friday night…We laughed joked and remembered as we tried them on…2 that could be altered were chosen, we took the top off of one and the bottom off of the other….here are before and after photos of both dresses.
  
The cream dress was given to me about 8 years ago to cut up for my crazy quilting but even though I never imagined that it would ever be worn again it always seemed to fairy tale pretty to cut up and I ma glad that I didn’t because with the very puffy sleeves and high neck cut off it was lovely on my sister and I still get the sleeves for my crazy quilting….The green dress is the one I made for my 6th form farewell (last year of high school) in 1974. I ummed and arred about wether to let the bottom be cut off or not but some of the fabric was damaged so it could never be warn long again and my niece will get more ware out of it short then I did as a long dress….The Party on friday night was fun too.
