My ball gown

My ball gown

I always was dressed very well, with coat and hat.

I also took dance lessons. For my first ball, I got a wonderful ball gown, made from light blue taffeta.

It was tailor-made for me.

This picture was taken by my brother. I sit in the Gentlemen’s Room, wearing the ball gown.
