New Dresses


I enjoy making Callie & Isabella matching dresses from time to time. My mother-in-law always helps me make a new one when she comes out for a visit, however, I've started breaking that tradition because Callie never wears the dresses I make. She always says she loves them, and she can't wait to wear them, but once she puts them on, she doesn't like them....because they "poof out when she sits down" or "go up when she lifts her arms up". I agree that "homemade clothes" do fit differently than store bought, but I thought she was still too young to care or notice.

This Saturday, I made dresses for the two of them. Callie couldn't wait until Sunday to wear her new dress. Come Sunday, she promptly took it off because it was "too big". Luckily, I was able to pin it in a desirable way, so it wouldn't be "too big" or "poof out when she sits down". I think I'm done with dress making for awhile.....or maybe I just make them for Isabella. She still too young to voice complaints with them :)

Ahhhh, the joys of opinionated daughters. Glad you have one too:) I always felt that way when my mom made my sister and I matching dresses. But I think the ones you did are super cute! You definitely have a talent!

I love how cute they are standing together and matching.
