The Mrs Santa Costume

The next big stage I remember was wearing my first dress - I had seen my Mum make a Mrs Santa costume - it was a short red satin dress with a zip up back and flared skirt - gorgous! I just had to wear it!

So one day in January when I was on my own, I took the plunge and sneaked into her rooom and quickly stripped, borrowed a pair of her knickers then slipped the dress on!

I looked fab!!

I then started wearing it as often as I could!!

Until....

one day, the zip stuck!!

I couldn't budge it, and it went right up to the neck. No way to get the dress off.

So, after about an hour struggling, and my Mum's return imminent, I really forced the zip and it broke.

I was devastated. I then had to take the dress to a public bin to get rid of it and hope she didn't notice.

I got away with it but only by the skin of my teeth!
