And then there was the crisp and crinkled fabric (forgotten what it was) that I was wearing when I got my first kiss...oh, bliss!!! Wonder what his name was....also can't remember it but do I remember that dress!!!
Think it was called seer sucker fabric..So funny about your arms - I'm not fifty yet but I do notice when I wave at someone it just keeps flapping lol
