I particularly loved four gingham dresses of identical design but in red, blue, yellow and green. When I left home to go to teachers College I was still wearing my home made dresses (made by me). It soon became clear that I looked different to everybody else so as soon as I started teaching I wore store bought clothes only.lindamaycurryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876359944965312653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-57391505183563226122016-04-22T06:45:29.234+01:002016-04-22T06:45:29.234+01:00Clothes: I still remember my new husband looking d...Clothes: I still remember my new husband looking dumbfounded as he watched me unpack my 16 wool skirts with matching sweaters, multiple dresses, & 22 pairs of high heels which I'd had shipped to my new address in the redwoods. I'd been working in San Francisco, you see, where all of that was quite useful. Not so much in the woods, however, where I was soon decked out in jeans and tennis shoes almost exclusively.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-37177231510660837922016-04-17T03:38:05.720+01:002016-04-17T03:38:05.720+01:00Mum still makes her own clothes today.

We have dusters here in the States, too - I believe those come from the coats cowboys would wear on the trail - sturdy but fairly lightweight, split in the back for riding, and often oiled against wet weather.<br /><br />I know more about horses than fashion! =D<br /><br />Boldly Going Through the Alphabet! <br />@shanjeniah <br />Part-Time Minion for Holton's Heroes<br /><a href="http://shanjeniah.com/" rel="nofollow">shanjeniah's Lovely Chaos</a><br />Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-27981173394240430472016-04-04T21:20:06.894+01:002016-04-04T21:20:06.894+01:00Thank you, all, for your comments and sharing your...Thank you, all, for your comments and sharing your own memories of your childhood clothes.

Every year my mother made matching dresses for my sister, me and herself for Christmas. This was during the 60's and one yer the dresses had the matching bonnets and we looked like little Holly Hobbies. We even received handmade dolls with dresses that matched our own. I surely can't imagine children today being excited about that for Christmas.<br /> @ScarlettBraden from<br /><a href="http://scarlettbraden.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Frankly Scarlett</a>Scarlett Bradenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710956371850533353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-14615074097968521742016-04-04T18:06:22.345+01:002016-04-04T18:06:22.345+01:00My mom made my clothes too (out of necessity) and ...My mom made my clothes too (out of necessity) and the outfit that always comes to mind was a white dress with red and blue polka dots with a blue cape. It was divine! As a teenager Mom made me a rain cape which was a black waterproof material with a red lining - I had that cape a very long time, used as part of halloween costumes for myself and my kids for many years til it finally gave up the ghost. <br />Sue - your memories spark my memories - what will I remember tomorrow?
