Vintage Fashion Model

About a month ago, our ward Relief Society (women's organization) had a vintage fashion show. We used clothing women in our ward wore when they were young. We had to have the young women model most of the clothing because it was so tiny. Here is Bronwen in the outfits she modeled.


This is a dress worn in the 1950s to dances held in what is now Zion's Bank in downtown Logan.



This dress was worn by Carol Jensen in the 1960s when she was a "Symphony Girl" for the Utah Symphony in Ogden. She would escort attendees to their seats.
Over her arm is a velvet cloak with jewel buttons.


This outfit got the most laughs that night. It was a bridesmaid dress for Shari and Lee Badger's wedding in the early 1970s. If you look close, those are coulottes!

  3. So Mimi, did you like Jane Eyre? I still haven't seen the movie because it didn't even come to Logan. I'd have to drive to Salt Lake to see it. A friend and I keep trying to arrange it, but it never works out. When are you coming to Utah? Are you just coming when you bring Summer, or are you coming out earlier also?
