Most infant dresses I've seen from that time period were about 2 feet long.

I wish I'd written down some of the stories my Granny told me, too. She was big on ghost tales, and how different her life was from mine as a child. I just have to rely on my faulty memory now as she's been gone for a long time. I still miss her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.com
