ggrace004 I believe this set was mine. I gave it to Goodwill back in 2008 and missed it ever since. I don't know it would still fit me. If I purchased it and it didn't fit, could it be sent back to you? Please let me know. I am POSITIVE THIS WAS MY OUTFIT!

kincaidkid @ggrace004 Hi! That would be wild if this was once yours! What city did you donate the outfit?

May 03Reply

ggrace004 Hello again, I donated to Hooksett, NH as I lived in Manchester. I had so many gorgeous clothes was in the Miss NH pageant and I believe I wore that outfit in competition! I saw a few like this, but the dresses were sleeveless whereas I had short sleeves on mine just like this one you have. I am now 78 went through a bad cancer and came out the other side. I had a wonderful life and then lost all my family and my only child. It's been quite a challenge.

ggrace004 I am not certain it would fit me anymore as I weighed only 106-110, and now 145! Looking at the measurements it would be a problem with the dress, I believe! Well let me sleep over it. Should it not fit, am I able to send it back? Thank you for getting back to me.

ggrace004 Im curious where did you get this outfit and when. It was in perfect almost unworn condition when I gave it to Goodwill. I drove by there a week or so ago and it's gone, now it's Planet Fitness. Is the outfit worn? it appears to have staining on the gold in front of the coat or maybe it's just the lighting and the sleeves on the dress looked pressed or maybe that was the picture again. How long have you had it and where did you acquire it. Thanks for any info you can share,

ggrace004 And funny that little girl looks just like me when I was that age! Such a coincidence all the way around.

kincaidkid @ggrace004 Hi, I purchased it in Cincinnati, OH several years ago at an estate sale. No there is no staining on either piece. I’m sorry to hear about your cancer and family passing away. I would love for you to have it, could you measure yourself and check measurements in listing? It is a beautiful set! I can see why you have always remembered it.

kincaidkid @ggrace004 Oh my goodness! That is amazing that she looks like you as a child! Wow!

May 03Reply

ggrace004 Exactly! I'm not as blonde anymore but darker ash. I wished I had pictures to send. You would be amazed . OH, I recall that other items I left a beautiful white wool coat with a fox collar and cuffed sleeves sold in Cincinnati. Yes, my dear I believe this was once mine. That is so funny. Have a good evening and I shall get back to you. Blessings to you all.

ggrace004 Good morning. I think this may be a bit tight in a place or two, but I know it is my beloved suit! When you told me it was in an Ohio estate auction, I knew that my clothing went there as I had seen a coat I had on that auction. This is nostalgic truly. I would just like it hanging in my closet for the wonderful memories I had wearing it. Is is worn in areas and the material limp? And would you take 50.oo for it? I probably shouldn't be doing this, but I loved that outfit. Thank you.
