Dress Shopping

My dad was always so proud of all of us.  I remember shopping for a dress to the school dance.  I had gone with friends and spent my own money on a short little blue number.  In my mind, I remember thinking that it might be a bit short.  Well, dad saw it and agreed.  But he was so loving about helping me.  He took me shopping and waited and watched while I tried on more dresses.  In the end he helped me choose a lovely classic dress.  It was white on top and black from the empire waist down.  It was not cheap either.  I think dad may have spent 100 bucks on it.  When I asked him about it he just said that I was worth it.  That was something I have never forgotten.

  1. Do you remember when you were looking material to make a dress for a dance your Senior year? We were all at Cloth World. You and Mom were looking at the inexpensive material and Dad went straight to the expensive section and insisted that you needed a dress made of white satin. You ended up with a beautiful, white satin dress with a belt made of blue ribbon.
