Title: One dress....2 sisters
Post by: Lincsbabe on Sunday 08 May 11 12:30 BST (UK)
Could someone please give a little to colour to this photo. It is of My Gt Aunt Alice.

There is a lovely story that this particular dress was worn at my parents wedding in 1951 by my maternal grandmother Margaret who is the younger sister of Alice. Sadly my Grandma died in 1954 aged about 55, shortly after her death her sister Alice came for a visit from Canada where she lived and commented on the dress, which my Grandad and mum said she could have. A little while later she had a photo taken of her wearing it.

I am also posting the photo of my Grandma wearing the dress in order to give the talented people on here some idea what colour it was.
