Me at our Chicago Chapter of the ASG Fall Fashion Show in October 2008.

This is an exact style copy of a prom dress that I wore in 1965.  It is made of silk organza over silk taffeta and is lined in China silk.  The original was light pink.  I had to copy it from a photograph.  I loved the dress then and I love it now.
