Can you even imagine being able to knit a dress like that one on the right? And, have it fit like that?! Wow.

Do you have any stories of family members who could make things like this? I’m so amazed by some of the things that the women of our grandmothers’ and great-grandmothers’ generation could do . . . . . . . .

This one’s a little later than the suits we’ve just seen – it belonged to a relative years ago. I think it is a Catalina brand.

Abstract floral print, with a cute little figure-saving skirt over the hips. I love the soft colors.

Such a pleasure to receive things from people I know – it’s great to have the inside scoop on the history and care of the garment. And a double plus when I can wear them, too!
