Last week I asked DH to sort out the loft. One of the boxes contained my wedding dress. This is from nearly 40 years ago, I decided to wash it and it's now hanging on the wardrobe door in the spare room. It has come out so well and even now I love the style, mandarin collar, small v neck and cascading sleeves.
I have just measured the waist band and it's only 22 inches, thats 16 inches less than I am now. Those cheeky inches have been creeping up when I've not been looking.
