This is my mum and my grandpa Birger. Gramps was obviously not attending the wedding (or so I assume, concindering his outfit) but gladly posed with his beautiful daughter in law, my mamma. I wont call it beauty and the beast, but there sure is a wee bit of a style difference going on. :)
And then a picture of the good looking couple.
Fast forward 42 years and here is the dress again. My mom mentioned it to me on Sunday and after a quick trip to the basement I found myself inside it. The daisies have faded but other than that the dress is still in great condition. And it fits like a glove! So it has changed it's address from my parents basement to my closet. As my dad told my mom: "Solveig will keep it safe untill you want to wear it again".
I'm attending a wedding in August and maybe it's time the dress gets a little outing again. :)

That is so, so awesomely neat! It's wonderful that your mom held onto this pretty red dress for so long and that you now get to model it, too. Lucky girl - and thoughtful mom! :)
