Polka dot minidress
Bought in Invercargill in 1972, Trish kept this dress because she had such great memories of wearing it – plus, her husband did not want her to toss it out. "I wore the short one (Polka dot mini dress) many times, but most particularly when I flew to Australia to reconnect with a 'friend' whom I had met over there a year earlier. He subsequently became my husband (and still is) in 1975, and we have lived in Southland ever since."
