Yes that yellow taffeta party dress was in typical 1950's style - puffed sleeves, full gathered skirt, plain round neck and a sash tied in a bow at the back.

I don't think we had a TV yet. But of course many clips of films have been shown since then.

Yellow or otherwise, I doubt I could recognize taffeta, but it sounds charming.

My Mom had a yellow taffeta dress from her childhood that I loved which she kept in her cedar chest & once in a while she'd take it out & let me wear it for a little while & I'd dance around the living room in it. I wonder if it looked very much like yours? :)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-20006701069544521762016-04-21T21:26:03.855+01:002016-04-21T21:26:03.855+01:00How nice that the hospital decorated for the event...How nice that the hospital decorated for the event. Like Jo, I was too young during the coronation to even know what a coronation was.

I would guess her winning the <br />sweep stake would be reassuring. I remember the coronation<br /> was a big event in Canada and we received some kind of scroll. As I was eleven, you'd think I'd have a better memory of the specifics of it, but I don't. I'm totally charmed by the idea of your yellow<br />taffeta dress.
