Grandma’s Wedding Suit…

Almost 55 years ago my Grandma was married in this suit, and while I’m a tad taller (the sleeves are a bit short!) and the hat has been smooshed and flattened a bit, I had a ton of fun trying it all on today. I can’t thank my mom enough for making sure I had this, I can remember as a young girl going through the cedar chest and seeing it and to now not only have it, but be able to put it on, well, it’s just pretty cool. I love you Grandma…


(I think I may have this hat on all wrong??)

  2. Honey, I must say that brought back a couple of memories and a few tears. I even wore navy opened toe heels like you have on.

    Love you much, Grandma

  3. I love you Grandma. Glad you like the pictures, I was not exactly sure how to put the hat on? Did you make the suit yourself? It seems to be handmade with no labels?
