They had the same type of bodice & long ruffled sleeves. I find it such a shame girls don't dress in pretty long gowns anymore for proms and other formal occasions. I know it was a different era, but really dressing up always felt so special back then. Your dress, by the way, was lovely. Kudos to your mom!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
