I did, however, lay them out and pick them up when they were dry. I wore a uniform in high school. It was a brown and yellow plaid skirt that was A-line in the front with low pleats in the back. We wore it with a yellow blouse and brown cardigan sweater. It was much cuter than the blue jumper & white blouse we wore in elementary school. We did wear straight skirts outside of school. <br /><br />My Mom made all my clothes too. She even got the fabric from the uniform store to make my uniform. She was a professional seamstress from the time she was 12 when she had to quit school to go to work and help support her parents and seven younger siblings.sacBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293278665234622427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451602020663846531.post-2248609357893101062011-08-30T21:15:37.452-04:002011-08-30T21:15:37.452-04:003030Tinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389439446543004539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451602020663846531.post-41100595767054008382011-08-30T21:15:28.356-04:002011-08-30T21:15:28.356-04:00Zona - You were right.

We would wear one under our poodle skirts. We also had plaid kilts held with a big fancy pin. Saddle shoes and bobby sox would be worn at our dances. We were connected to St. Louis College which was a boys' school run by the Irish Brothers. The Brothers were very strict but they allowed very supervised dances to be held in the basement of the school. We would have about one a month and of course at Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day. The girls would go to the school and help decorate the hall the day before. The nuns and Brothers thought it kept us busy and out of mischief. I think for the most part it worked.<br />We all had about 4 crinolines and we would wear all 4 of them under our formal net dresses. We would go to the Royal Roads Naval Academy for formal dances at Christmas and for their graduations. They were fun too.Tinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389439446543004539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451602020663846531.post-17160390083062657312011-08-30T20:52:27.677-04:002011-08-30T20:52:27.677-04:00Michael - Thanks for the updates.Michael - Thanks for the updates.Tinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389439446543004539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451602020663846531.post-26209176554378209572011-08-30T20:51:51.842-04:002011-08-30T20:51:51.842-04:00Tina - I am glad you have the operation behind yo...Tina - I am glad you have the operation behind you.

I actually did that because we starched them so much we had to spread them out in a big circle to dry. Plus we wore them in multiples, like 3 or 4, depending on how full they were. When we sat down, we had to be careful that they wouldn't all fly up in our face. WTH were we thinking?sacBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293278665234622427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451602020663846531.post-11544655174411375082011-08-30T13:51:51.318-04:002011-08-30T13:51:51.318-04:00Happy Tuesday Owls.

I agree that I would rather be a woman today, but the trade off is my kids never knew a simple life, which makes me a little sad. And I also see that communication skills have suffered with the advent of computers, not to mention grammar skills. But I do love my computer and my cell phone. Oh, I'm so conflicted! <br /><br />Goldie, in case no one has answered you yet, Tina is having gall bladder surgery today.sacBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293278665234622427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451602020663846531.post-62037282112211327332011-08-30T13:29:44.044-04:002011-08-30T13:29:44.044-04:00ooops..that should have been 'looks like THAT ...ooops..that should have been 'looks like THAT thing is on fire'..Zonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777368839586301891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451602020663846531.post-79765009020777754672011-08-30T13:27:42.262-04:002011-08-30T13:27:42.262-04:00BARB: Ya know..life seemed so much less complicate...BARB: Ya know..life seemed so much less complicated then..and it moved slower..way slower..or maybe that's only because I was young and didn't have to try so hard to keep up..lol.. :D<br /><br />LYNN: Hey Beautiful!
