The FIRST dress is in a sealed box from the cleaners. The box cost more than the dress! It is a late 70's ivory knit with open crochet style "bell" sleeves, and a bit of crochet at the bust line. Very simple. My daughters like it, especially the one who refers to herself as the "hippie". The SECOND dress, well, that was a patterend knit floor length with a BLACK floor length jacket. Black, yes, I kept saying that to whoever would listen the day of the reception. "The bride is wearing black." I have no idea where that outfit is, the man that went with it left after about a year. My Mom, back in the day, did re-work my cousin's gigantic poofy wedding gown from 1968, into a christening dress for my cousin's first born. It was amazingly beautiful. My Mom's skills were amazing. I don't think my Mom can remember making that christening gown anymore.
