When my mom was six, she was a flower girl in her cousin’s wedding. Her Aunt Elvy made the dress she wore.
While I was home visiting, I had her pull it out of the cedar chest so that I could take a picture.

My mom is on the right.
I think that it is so special that she has kept the dress all of these years (the wedding was 50 years ago!!)
Was your mother’s Aunt Elvy Swedish by any chance? My m-i-l name was Elvey and I’ve never run into any other. She was 100% Swedish, born in USA.
Yes, she was 100% Swedish and immigrated with her parents when she was very young. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone with that name either!
