Copperwitch (Jahteh)'s blog post about her grand daughter's formal dress and the big store set by formals for kids in year 12 reminded me of when Melissa aged about 16 had to go to her formal - it was for year 10 - Her dress cost $5 from Vinnies - the gloves also from Vinnies - she did her own hair - and she still wears that necklace thingie - hard to believe it was way back all those years ago, 1990 to be precise - Don took the photos - he'd figured out that even having no hand usage tripods and other ways worked for him and he took some lovely photos...

She looks happy and beautiful.
Gosh she's so pretty.
You should see the crap the girls go on with here, spray tans the whole over the top thing. I think $5 dresses from Vinnies make much more sense.
Love those gloves too, so elegant.
Gorgeous girl:-)
She hasn't lost that smile.
My mum made my dress, brown velvet with chiffon sleeves.
I was in the op shop the other day and earwhigged on a mum and daughter buying for the school formal. I felt like turning around and giving them a big hand clap for being sensible.
Gorgeous pictures I must say. and you are right, Don was a great photographer. She looks so happy :)
