My Mother loved Loretta Young and wore clothes by the same designer when she could get them and had them made when she could not.

One of my favorite outfits of my wonderful Mother is her in a black gown with sheer neck and sleeves. It was 6o’clock in the evening, the gown was tea length, her heels were spiked and little rinestones lining the rim of the sole and heel. The belt of her gown matched and so did her handbag. Of course, the skirt of the gown was big and puffy with lots of petticoats or whatever.

Dismal I also recall her throwing one of those spiked heels at my Father later than evening. :)

ummm, that dress, shoes and bag all sound fabulous. Aren't those childhood memories of seeing our mothers all beautifully dressed and looking so beautiful among the best?

Loretta Young was also a favorite of my mother. I remember watching her old movies late at night with mother and being mesmerized by her elegance. LOL
