Remember when things were so much cheaper. Look at that pattern. Probably five dollars to make that dress, maybe not even that.

Very nice, Carol....but nobody's that old except us :-)Remember when a ice cream cone was 3 cents (single dip) 5 cents (double dip)...and the dips were the size of large oranges.

Wonderful capture Carol . I have my Mother's sewing basket it has an old McCall pattern in it . The pattern is from a dress she made for me when I was a little girl. Thanks Carol for bringing back some happy memories for me and putting a smile on my face. Well done.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Good clarity and details in the photo, Carol. Would this be the pattern for the dresses you and your sister were modeling?

Before my time, Carol, but I love nostalgic photos like this. I am wondering where you saw these. Nicely done with the vignette.
