What did you wear, and what memories do those clothes bring back? In this special short edition of the Society of Genealogists’ Writing Your Life Story Club, attendees reminisce about the fashions they loved—or perhaps regretted—including platform soles and other memorable styles. Their conversation shows how clothes can unlock vivid stories about particular times, places and stages of our lives. Enjoy a taste of this friendly, supportive monthly club, where prompts and shared memories help Gold members record their experiences for family, friends and future generations before those precious details fade.
