They made their dresses, and our outfits, too. Their wedding dresses were made from this Gunne Sax pattern:
And I think the pattern below may have been the one that was used for the skirts worn by Elaine and me. You can't see them, but they were off-white cotton with eyelet lace trim:
I still have my skirt, but I couldn't find it for this post. I did find my blouse, though. Made from a pretty little posy print with lace trim:
I don't know which pattern the blouses were from, but maybe I'll come across it some day. How sweet are those little heart-shaped buttons?
(I'm hoping to borrow Tina's dress from her some day, and I will dress Penny in it so that I can add it to this post and share it with you. If I find my skirt, I'll do the same with my maid of honor outfit.)
Happy Anniversary!

Thank you for the sweet post about our wedding. I also made the little jacket that goes with the dress, but it accidently got shut into the Karmann Ghia door before the wedding, and ended up with a large grease spot. My good friend Peggy got most of it out for me later. You and Elaine looked great in your outfits. Love T
memories.....how cool is that - a double wedding?
wow - DREAM wedding! those dresses and outfits are all so gorgeous and folksy. what a lot of work went into them; i know those patterns aren't easy! you sisters all still look pretty much the same, can't believe this was 31 years ago.
I agree with Moonshine you all look pretty much the same.
I adore those dresses, everyone of them is so sweet and feminine. Best of all they were handmade by loved ones! Thanks for sharing.
