Sisters. Four sisters. Edith, Gladys (my mother), Madge and May. Gladys and Madge, the dressmakers, created the beautiful gowns. If only they had kept them. I can imagine them cutting out, stitching and fitting each dress. Excitement must have been high. Their workroom tables covered with fabric, scissors, lovely old wooden spools wrapped with thread, pins everywhere. Oh to have them back, to ask them about those days when they worked the treadles on the old Singer sewing machines. It was a lovely wedding I'm certain.

Oh Mary, this picture and the memory just make me feel good. I'm so glad you shared this.
ReplyDeleteThey are such beautiful sisters. The attendants dresses are a floral pattern? I'm glad you have this photo.
ReplyDeleteWe leave Sunday morn. We'll spend the night in Los Angeles, then a 15 hour flight to Sydney. On to Papeete and Moorea Island after that.
Today, Larry and I are having Grandparent's Day lunch with Kathryn at school.

I will have posts tomorrow and Sunday. Hope you will check in!
Until I see you again,

Mary, that is the most beautiful photograph. All of the sisters are beautiful, as are their gorgeous dresses. All soft and flowing, a lovely wedding. In the antique world, that wedding photo would be very coveted. There are collectors that buy wedding photos. Especially vintage photos. What a treasure to have of your mom and her sisters.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend dear.
Love and hugs, Jeanne
What a lovely photo. I too would love the dress. I found my old wedding dress yesterday. I fell in love with the lace all over again. Your picture is a treasure.
