It makes me wonder if the clothes from today will be as well preserved as those from 50 years ago. Things aren't as well made as they used to be I think. And you never know!

I always, always wonder who the previous owners were, as well. It never fails to fascinate to me that something as simple as a dress has gone through history!

I do the same thing with imagining the previous owners story, but with my sewing patterns. there are always little notes on the pattern envelopes which make me wonder what plans the person had and if they ever went through with it. <br /><br />I remember one time finding a set of clothes in the opp shop which all had a characters name and scene number written on a tag on the inside. It must have been for a play of some sort and they donated the whole costume dept to the opp shop. I wonder if your Mrs Stephen could even be a character? or maybe even a very hopeful bride-to-be writing her new name on her honeymoon outfits?
