She raided Grandma’s old suitcases and went to the castle dinner in the finest dress she could find.
Grandma is from Sandefjord. It must have been a city with many good dress shops in the 1960s and 70s, because she has so many beautiful prom dresses, and they are very well taken care of. I have raided her suitcases in the attic and taken some dresses home. Among other things, this one, which I wore during the Storting representatives’ dinner at the Palace in October last year.
“Where did you buy your dress?” I was asked. Then I had to answer that you can not buy this, it is 60 years old. In a way, Grandma was a little with me at the castle dinner. I think she thought it was amazing that I was wearing her dress. And I think it was fun to show it off, it was something completely different than wearing a completely ordinary, generic dress.
