What are the dresses the girls wearing in the photographs?
According to legend, Pam Thorsen bought a pile of nylon nighties that were on clearance at the local discount store. To that, she added some spools of satin ribbon and wreaths of plastic flowers. These supplies were used for about ten years. The girls would put on the nylon nightgowns and add ribbons to decorate and to hold the gowns in place (some were absurdly large for a little girl to wear). Flowers went in the girls’ hair, or wherever else they’d stay in place.
