Matilda Cerge with her sister Breda Simonovic and mother Dona Kalef
This is my mother, Dona Kalef, with my sister Breda and I. The photo was taken in Belgrade. We always wore ribbons and things in our hair. And it seems that many times we wore the same dresses. Actually, we did not always wear the same dresses. Dresses for holidays and special occasions were sown for us in a salon. Probably my mother picked the fabrics for those dresses. Those special dresses were the same dresses but everyday we didn't wear the same dresses.
