This dress belonged to my Great-Grandma Scimeca. I don't know much about her, but that she was my mother's favorite person in the whole world. I've only even seen a handful of photographs of her, and she was in black mourning clothings in all of them, so it's difficult to imagine her wearing something to chic. I'm sure she'd be rolling in her grave to know that I wore this to school one day in 9th grade, and fully intend on wearing it again now that it's back in my possession. I like to imagine her standing over an old 1940s sink, washing dishes, yelling at kids, with the wedding ring that I lost sitting on the edge of the sink. That's another story though...
