Description:

For this swap, you need to locate all those pictures that your mother took of you when you were growing up. Choose one that you are fond of, and design your doll an outfit that is similar in design and fabric to the one you wore in the picture. Send it to your partner, and include a copy of the photo. That's one retro outfit, one photo copy, by the 27th of January. Of course, if you remember anything about the occasion or the outfit, we'd love to hear about it! My photos are B&W, but my memories are all in living color :-) We have plenty of time to hunt down the pictures and do lots of reminiscing before we get to work on the outfit. I hope that your memories are pleasant! If you have any questions, feel free to pm me, or post a message here.

What a cool idea. Now I have to find a flattering picture of me where I had my front teeth and my hair wasn't frizzy. This should be a fun swap. Thanks for thinking of it.

Thank you! I truly think that ALL of our childhood pictures would be adorable! I hope lots of people join; it will be a fun way to share memories.
I have a booth in a crafter's store, and I'm going to use about 6 really old pictures, and re-create the outfits in the pictures to sell at Christmastime. I'll be copying the photos as 5x7 B&W to hang in the booth. I've chosen 1955, '56, 57, 58, '59, and 1960.

Oh my goodness. This one is really going to show my age to show my age if I choose the one with me sitting in the rumble seat of a car. Most of you wouldn't even know what that was. It dates me back into the '40's.
