Was helping a friend clean out an attic and came across a bunch of old
Butterick/McCall's and Simplicity pattern books. You know the sort,
those large ones they have down a fabric stores. Any way as most of the
books were from the 1960's and 70's there were all those mother/daughter
patterns.
Are these still in vogue any where? Just wondering as most mothers today
seem to dress like their daughters, not the other way around! *LOL*
(joke).

I remember those very well, unfortunately I actually made a few. My
two DDs were reminiscing recently about that period, and laughing
about how often they seem to show up at family events dressed in the
same color/style without having consulted each other. They are pretty
sure I somehow brainwashed them. ;-}

In the late 90's early 2000 (can't remember exactly when) my daughter
want she and I to have matching dresses for Easter. I made hers then
went to buy the same fabric but a different color for my dress. She
cried because I was going to get another color! I bought the lime green
dotted swiss, made my dress, wore it Easter Sunday and then we never
wore them again. What we do to make our kids happy!

My daughters liked for the three of them and me to dress in the same outfits
when they were small in the 50s, so I wore several plaid gingham dresses
with gathered skirts, simple waists and short sleeves, not puffed though.
Nobody ever commented except a couple moms who wanted me to make them some.
My DM thought it was great and said when wished she could have done the same
when we were young.

my mom used to make us mother-daughter dresses in the 50s, i
think one set for Easter & another for the church mother-
daughter supper (but i don't think my brother wore matching
outfits with dad...). she also made a matching outfit for my
Ginny doll.
the one that really sticks in my mind was a pink & grey toile
with pink trim. ew.
