I bought this at an estate sale a few weeks ago. I always look for vintage clothes and jewelry but the sale had neither so I asked the daughter that was running the sale if they had already sold it all. She told me they did not think any one would buy old clothing. After I almost fainted thinking of what treasures could have been mine the daughter told me that she had her old prom dress still stored in the closet if I wanted to look at it. She pulled this perfect pink dress out and I fell in love. Its way to small for me but I had to have it any way. She told me she went to prom in 1963.

It's so sad to think of how much of this stuff was thrown away before the estate sale. I have heard people say the same thing.
Great dress! Just thinking about the shoes and the bag that she had to go with it. Also, picturing the hairdo! Pretty in pink!
This dress is you to a tee . . . start the diet today ! LOL
Love it. This dress says princess!
Ah, the date of my first prom dress vintagemad. You have the knack for being in the right place at most opportune times! Love the pink accent. Wish I knew what happened to my first dress. DD@Phila
