Wore Stories – New Year’s Eve 1972
It was New Year’s Eve 1972 (turning into 1973) and Audrey Karpetz (then Zajac) has the perfect gown to hit the town in. 33 years later, I chopped the gown, lacking the height my mother was blessed with, and the dress was worn once more on my birthday in 2006. I called up my mom, who’s currently enjoying the Arizona sun, to discuss with her the how, where, and why this dress came and stayed in her life all these years.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MY MOM

THE SIGNATURE ROOM AT EATON’S
What made you attracted to the dress to begin with?
It was beautiful. I saw it and I loved it. It was $125 and at that time I was making $320 a month clear so it was almost two weeks worth of wages.
Where were you working?
