1961 - Helen Hender in her new dress which was made from the leftovers of Sandra Ryan's deb dress (made by Helen's mum, Marjory). "It was really stiff material and I remember wearing it to Sunday School and this boy sat down next to me and said “move that fat dress over” and pushed it along the chair. Marjory also made a bride doll outfit out of the leftovers from Lorraine's deb dress and I still have the said bride doll but she is looking a bit like "Mrs Haversham" as the dress material is now starting to deteriorate - will it is nearly 52 years old!!"....Helen
