Grauntie, your OH pays you some wonderful compliments! Ooooh, suede hotpants - what colour were they? I had a leather coat and wore it for years, then had it made into a jacket and wore it for a few more years. I wouldn't have known what to do with the leather that was cut off when it was altered. Needless to say, I didn't do it myself!

Grauntie I was married in in 1975 in a dusky pink Laura Ashley dress with tiny purple flower on, and dusky pink suede shoes ( probably the last pair of heels I wore!)βA grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.β β UnknownComment

Plant, when we compare the dresses we married in to the styles the brides of today wear, itβs quite shocking! Mine covered most of me up!Last edited by Grauntie Mag; 03-10-2023, 06:28 PM.Women are like tea bags; you never know how strong they are until they are put in hot water.

Grauntie, so did my wedding dress (1967 high fashion!) - it had a boat neckline, long lace sleeves and was Empire line. I could never have seen myself in a meringue. If we'd got married in the winter I would have chosen a velvet cape.
