Fashion Shoot
June 25, 2007
Meg sent me this amazing vintage blue dress for Kate. When it arrived on Saturday, she immediately tried it on, then took it off because she didn't want to get it dirty. It fits perfectly, has lots of twirl and made this little girls eyes light up like a Christmas tree. She wore it to church yesterday - so stinkin' cute, I tell you. Thank you so much Meg - she really loves it.
And would you believe this?
Jane came downstairs this morning wearing the shirt. Yes, the one I made her. I quickly grabbed the camera for documentation and she was happy to oblige her mom. Hmmm...I am not sure what prompted it, but I am not complaining. In fact, I see it as a sign. I think it's going to be a good day.
oh, that blue one was my favorite! i'm glad it's twirly.
love the shirt you made for her, too.

Love both the dress and the shirt. She reminds me of myself at that age. Must be the name :)!

When I was between the ages of like 7 and 10, my dad would buy all of my clothes from the catalogs (Sears, JC Penney, etc.). I saw a blue dress very similar to that (in fact, I think it was almost exactly the same except it had short sleeves) and I HAD to have it. So, my dad ordered it from the catalog for me, and I loved that thing to bits and pieces.
How nice it is to see another little girl making her own blue dress memories.

I'm beaming about you and your girls right now! Meg's vintage dress fits Kate perfectly, and it's awesome that Kate fell so in love with it. And I can't believe Jane's turn-around! There's seriously good karma going on at your house.

So sweet! Which reminds me I have a 3T vintage Polly Flinders dress I need to get on my 3 1/2 year old before it's too late. Thanks for the prompt!

Oh Erin the dress looks lovely. Is is just me or are Kate's toe nails painted blue to match the dress?
So glad Jane came to her senses about the top. It's so great!

What a beautiful smile on Kate's face! She clearly loves her pretty new dress. Jane made a good choice in trying on her blouse. It is darling.
Posted by: Erin | June 25, 2007 at 03:19 PM
It's funny how just when you let go of wanting something, it happens/you get it. Life is funny that way. I'm glad she decided to wear the shirt!

Looks like Kate is almost ready for the stage. Jane your top looks great and the fabric colours are lovely. You should were it more, it suits you.

Such a sweet looking dress!
So glad that Jane changed her mind about that shirt! :)
Posted by: Chara Michele | June 26, 2007 at 10:27 AM
I love the dress. It's so girlie.
Hmmm, did the attention Kate's dress got perhaps prompt this change in Jane? It's a good thing though.
