Here is the lovely Katherine modeling one of her grandmother's gowns. My mother was quite the seamstress, and threw this together from a batch of Italian silk provided by one of her admirers. She wore this, along with some of her other amazing creations, when she crossed back from France in '51 on the S.S. Liberte. She danced her way back to New York, gracing the captain's table every evening with Iowa farmgirl charm and an adventurous wit.
Katie is about her size, so she had the privilege of swishing about the house in these unique and amazing gowns.
Care to dance?
