funny thing; it was a maxi dress, in Home Ec; I didn't finish it , failed that part of Home Ec. My Mother was disapointed...She didn't say anything, but I rememeber the look on her face when I picked out the fabric... it was only cotton gause-y type fabric, but expensive for us back then. I only took HomeEc because when I showed up in typing class the teacher told me I'd have to cut my finger nails or I'd fail... I showed her, I changed classes. I still keeep my nails long, and other than the letters wearing off the keyboard over time... I don't have any trouble typing, go fig.
