As a little girl in the 80s, getting all fancied-up for
Easter was my favorite. I loved the frilly dresses, big bonnets, white gloves, little
lace fold-over socks, white patent leather shoes, the whole works.

| Easter 1987: My friend who lives across the street, her sister, my younger cousin, and me. Yeah, we looked pretty silly. |
During the church service, I would admire all the ladies in
their beautiful clothes and hats. They were always so nice to us little girls, slightly
bending down to compliment us on our special Easter attire and making a big
deal about how nice we looked. Did your
mother do your hair this morning? So pretty!
Apparently, almost thirty years later, little girls still wear frilly
dresses, bonnets and gloves on Easter, or at least that’s what the racks of
children’s clothing at the department stores tell me.
