My grandmother was a wedding gown designer in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s. I have beautiful pictures of the gowns she created. I always thought the secret to her success was that she didn't size her garments! She never went “big time” because she made each dress by hand. She'd say, if a bride asked, “What size is my dress?” “Your Size, honey!” A size 0 or a size 16 was made to fit the person, so it looked well on THEM. This was before the “obesity epidemic” we all talk about. My Grandmother used to say to many brides (and people in general) looked bad because they couldn't accept they were a certain size and bought clothes that were to small. A size 6 wearing a size 2 is not flattering. A size 12 wearing a size 12 is much prettier. Marilyn Monroe wore her 12/14 well! But she couldn't shop at A&F!
Mac, I’lll bet your grandmother’s dresses were gorgeous!
