I've just had a very pleasant time catching up on your blog posts over lunch. Your changes in the house look wonderful, much lighter and brighter and the chair cover is lovely.

I have never dressed in extreme fashion, for one thing I couldn't afford it. I had so few clothes,that I remember practically all of them, most of which were worn until they fell to pieces and I did sew a lot of my own for economic reasons. I was a big fan of Mary Quant style dresses which were simple and flattering. I rarely wear a dress these days.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978833978219690284.post-10005595031312144572015-10-31T08:33:39.192+00:002015-10-31T08:33:39.192+00:00Hoping to see that Liberty exhibition before too l...Hoping to see that Liberty exhibition before too long.

I must try and get to the Liberty exhibition as I can see it would be a trip down Memory Lane for me - I had a smocked dress as a child of 4 though mine was made in Dayella in a pale blue check not Liberty cotton. Must check out the dates for the exhibition and try and get to it.Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978833978219690284.post-12201180966282396302015-10-30T18:17:16.072+00:002015-10-30T18:17:16.072+00:00As a child of the 40s, I had to wear dresses like ...As a child of the 40s, I had to wear dresses like that but made in poplin, not Liberty cotton. The necks were always to tight and I hated the sleeves. She used to make wedding dresses too and always had the off-cuts so I was well dressed in the underwear department!<br /><br />My Ma would always make her own clothes (and mine)to save money, also, there wasn't really a 'ready to wear' market. Her dresses would have looked like the 40s and 50s ones. Laura Ashley used to make those 70s dresses but I made my own from anything I could afford.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978833978219690284.post-9150842059985285112015-10-30T15:00:56.057+00:002015-10-30T15:00:56.057+00:00What a great day out, Su.

I finally got to visit that little gem of a gallery on my London trip last fall, and saw a great knitwear show. Ahh, but Liberty over the decades would have stolen my heart. Thanks so much for sharing the photographs.<br /><br />I've not seen Matilda, but very much like the entire idea of its story line.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978833978219690284.post-16748868384572683262015-10-30T13:53:06.655+00:002015-10-30T13:53:06.655+00:00What a wonderful day out.

I'm a big fan of musical theatre and we're lucky to have lots of touring West End shows come to Leeds so I do get to see quite a few, I've never seen Matilda though. Glad you enjoyed it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978833978219690284.post-24771458955833109792015-10-30T13:07:00.496+00:002015-10-30T13:07:00.496+00:00Looks like a great exhibition.

I actually DID wear things that bright in the sixties, but I was a child at the time and had no say in the matter! xCathyCATHY DANIELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099781286858899156noreply@blogger.com
