Velvet Dress...

 

this small velvet dress...

 

 

 

 

 

size 1

just never left miss b's wardrobe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i bought it when she was 9 months old.

she wore it on her first aeroplane trip to new zealand

to meet her nz grandparents for the first time.

 

she wore clarke's black patent shoes in a size 3,

'bubbles' was the name of the design...

with cream woollen ribbed tights.

 

 

 

when she grew

other new dresses crowded around the small velvet dress

but i couldn't pass it on.

it didn't even get packed away in a suitcase or box

it just stayed.

 

 

eventually miss b packed up and left home

with her small velvet dress.

 

 

when she went to canada to live with mr g

she gave me the small velvet dress to hang up in my wardrobe...

and there it stays.

 

 

the small velvet dress is thirty years old.
