ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " B "


Here we are at the start of the 19th ABC Wednesday.

Today's letter is  " B ".

I again went way BACK into my archives.

The year is 1951 and I'm 8 years old.

I guess you now know my age......


A very good family friend asked me to BE her Junior BRIDESMAID.




Sorry for the poor quality of the photos.

Unfortunately they had yellowed terribly.

My dress was a soft creamy yellow.





My Mom did a fantastic sewing job on my outfit.

I'm especially proud of the workmanship BECAUSE she disliked sewing.

Do you see the scowl on my face?

I  absolutely hated that BONNET !

I felt like a BABY.




Other than the headgear which I had to wear at the BRIDE'S request,

I felt like a princess.

Thanks for looking.

I wish the photos were BETTER,  BUT you can enjoy them anyway.

You are so cute! And I agree, it does look like a baby bonnet! And you were too old to be wearing it. Of course now it is something to look at and chuckle.

My ABC WEDNESDAY

You were a beautiful. bridesmaid! And the outfit is pretty!
I was 4 years old when I was a bridesmaid. I was angry that I had to wear two dresses. on top of each other. I was not used to wear a pettycoat. I was not a great success as a bridesmaid. I thought I had to pull at the bridal veil.
Well now my eldest child will be 50 next year.Long time ago, isn't it?!

Cute, I can just imagine what trauma that bonnet gave you at the advanced age of 8:)

You were a beautiful little Junior bridesmaid! I bet you made the wedding lots of fun! I think little people at weddings are some of the best entertainment!

ROG, ABCW

Your mom made a very sweet dress for you. You must've felt so grown up in it, regardless of the bonnet. I think it's cute. I actually wanted a bonnet like that when I was in my 20s. I must've been influenced by the Pride & Prejudice look.
