my husband's sister was a hippie

It's convenient, to have had a hippie in the family.  For one thing, I somehow ended up with this authentic, nineteen-sixties-double-knit go-go dress.  Scratchy stuff, but durable as hell.  And since tomorrow is retro day at my daughter's school, it's cool that the dress is a perfect fit [for her].

She'll have to go sans-patent-leather-boots, of course.  I mean, we can only take it so far.  It's too short to wear bare-legged, so she'll have to settle for stretchie crop tights underneath.  But the pattern is awesome!  I'm gonna have to check out Nancy Sinatra singing "these boots were made for walkin'" .....
