She said her grandmother's wore beautiful clothes. <br /><br />Mom was so disgusted with ready to wear clothes, she started making her own. I feel the same way. <br />About three yrs ago, after reading your blog, I started making and wearing very feminine dresses and skirts.

I love your sketches. Have always wanted to sketch like that too. Where did you learn to do that?<br /><br />I have loved the Laura Ashley styles since the 1970's when I finally took notice of them. From that time on I purchased several of the patterns and still have them.

I blame some of these clothing stores, even Walmart, for trying to be trendy and selling things for women that used to be considered in very poor taste, and not bringing out the best in women. And the sales clerks at grocery stores and other shops are required to be dressed modestly, so it should be a Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-5185655432724453882015-07-02T08:58:10.908-07:002015-07-02T08:58:10.908-07:00What a pretty dress!

Every once in awhile you can find one of her designs in a thrift store! <br /><br />I am enjoying these last posts very much. I like that you sketch, model, photograph and describe each dress. You look marvelous!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690722786561637489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1006473351033380822015-07-02T08:01:31.409-07:002015-07-02T08:01:31.409-07:00I wish more ladies would dress this way.

Nowadays, and even more with the excuse of summer, it seems the whole world has decided to walk around almost naked. No matter where you look, it is a constant visual attack (really short shorts, tattoos, underwear worn as usual clothes, and so on). Finding a lovely, gentle, soft lady smiling is a refreshing and inspiring vision indeed!
