It is really cool! My Mom grew up in abject poverty. When she married my Dad, his Mom (Grandma Edith) was a total ‘Fashionista’ and she made darn sure that her new DIL was dressed to the nines at all times. We spent a lot of time in dressings rooms at Macy’s and Gimbels back in the day. Of course, that trickled down to us girls, too! ;)

Mom is also an awesome Seamstress, so she made a lot of her clothes through the years and dressed herself and her two daughters in matching outfits for special occasions...which wasn’t always easy as she had two Tomboys on her hands, LOL!

“dressed herself and her two daughters in matching outfits for special occasions”

Mom sewed matching outfits for her, my sister, and me for church on Easter and Christmas. I look at the pics a lot.
