The Daily Post – Snapshot Stories asked us to open any folder and find the first picture of ourselves we came across, then tell the story. This is me, aged seventeen, wearing my favourite dress in the world EVER!!! I bought it from a grotty little shop for just 50 pence, in 1978, and I still have it now!! I chopped several inches off the bottom, but didn’t need to hem it because it didn’t fray. I wore it with Doc Martens, and stilettos, and ballet pumps. It never creased, and it has remained snow white! It was one of the first things my Torn-Apart asked if I still owned when we reunited, and most bizarrely of all, my Fragrant Mother produced a photograph of herself at the age of sixteen wearing the exact same dress!! Incredible!!
Very cool! Do you still wear the dress? 🙂

Great picture. I still have clothes from my late teens, though I don’t wear them I can’t throw them out. Too many good memories.

Does your Mother still have hers? Perhaps this is the EXACT same dress, how weird would that be. Look like you were going out to kick some bottom, and enjoying it. 🙂
