More notes from Washington -- awkward bat mitzvah photos

photo.JPG

While here in Washington, we were looking through old family photos. So I thought I'd share this one with you myself, before any of my family members (*coughbrothers*) tried to blackmail me with it. I remember really, really, really wanting this dress. I'm no longer sure why, although I'm not sure it's the worst part of this photo. The 80s were a very long time ago...

  1. Hey, That's a Jessica McClinock for Gunnie Sax dress! I had the long sleeve, the sun dress, and the ruffly blouse (that I wore with velvet knickers). I B UBER_GEEK!

  2. Are you kidding? That dress would have been a dream come true! Huge ruffle thing, big billowy sleeves AND a tie?! I bet you were on the forefront of fashion.

  3. Thanks for sharing! That was a chuckle but in a good way! I had similar glasses (but mine were tinted!) and braces and of course the big feathered hair. Oh good times!

  4. That dress would have been my Holly Hobbie dream come true at that time. Never mind the hair, the cake and the bow are huge--looks like a great party and you look so happy!

  5. Sad to say, but I think I had the same outfit and hairstyle. LOL

    And, if you look really closely at any Goodwill store, you can probably find the dress.
