Lommy your dress is lovely and your grandmother a fine seamstress. The dress is the same design and not far off the colour of a dress I have of my grand mothers from the late twenties / early thirties .... quite gorgeous..
Oh Alatar, they are also surely far to young to be getting married. I have observed that the couples who got together when still at school haven't lasted whereas those who met at college /university have those couple of years seem to make a big difference. Not that I wish to imply that Lommie and Volo wouldn't make wonderful spouses (for someone if not each other) in due course. Besides event he simplest wedding should have flowers, and it would be the first actual Downer-Downer wedding so there would be a thread by now I am sure.
..if I hadn't known the answer already, I might say hopefully that maybe that was everyday dress in Finland
- it would be so elegant if not terribly practical.
