It looks like something her mother probably sewed from a pattern. Her family wasn’t well off, right? that’s what I mean...prom dresses are rarely known for their “timeless elegance!” LOL! You should have seen mine..it was during the gauzy HIPPY trend! God, I loved that dress...I wouldn’t be caught at a Woodstock reunion costume party wearing it now!
Actually here family was quite well off, upper middle class. She talks as if she was poor, but she grew up with a father who made the equivalent of $250K in todays wages given inflation.
BTW LOL~ on the visual of your dress... I sort of feel that way about my wedding dress, wish I had a do-over on that... my prom dress was pretty and pink, strapless with full skirt.. very much the rage of the time ...
She had a slit up to her panties.No wonder the guy remembered her :)
