This is me as a bridesmaid in November 1954 (I was seven). Mum decided that I should have my hair cut and home permed especially for the occasion, but she was never much good at doing hair, particularly anything to do with perming! - hence the fuzzy look (after lots of brushing).
There were six bridesmaids altogether - three adult and three children.
My dress was white with a silvery pattern on it. I remember thinking that the gloves were so posh and the horseshoe of anenome flowers was beautiful (doesn't show in the old black and white photo).
Awww, that is too cute!!
ReplyDeleteAwww thats a sweet photo.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother was obsessed with me having ringlets as a child and I often had to go to bed and suffer a night of wearing rags in my hair.
the things we do eh? lol
How strange, Darcy, that you should mention ringlets. I used to want to have my hair in ringlets, when it was longer, and mum could never get them right - she did try!! Yes, I remember the rags!
ReplyDeleteOMG, what a lovely "little bride" picture!! Thanks for your comment. By the way, just a qick note to explain "First-School-Day"-traditions in Germany.
ReplyDeleteEvery Child gets a huge "Cornetto" filled with sweets and little things like pencils or nice rubbers
(or alarmclocks..*smile* ) as a gift at its first day at school.
Don´t ask me why...but it is a nice tradition since ages.
Lovely photo Hazel. You look beautful. What a lovely memory to share with us. X
