Fashion Friday

Here is a very sweet young lady, our daughter Sherry, modeling a squaw dress I made for her when she was probably 10 years old. It was a pretty blue and had a lot of silver, white and pink rick rack sewn on the tiers - there might even have been some lace. Her outfit is completed with a pretty metal belt. Over the many years Ray and I square danced, I sewed miles and miles of trim and pulled many miles of thread to gather the fabric for the skirts. I also made some shirts for Ray - but not very many. A man's shirt takes a lot of time and putting on the collar is really not a lot of fun. This is such a cute picture of Sher. (Click to enlarge)
