I am so lucky that my mom saved a few of my dresses from when I was little.
First off, I have to say that I think the style then was clearly superior.
It was so much more girly — frilly and doll-like.
When I pulled these, and others out of storage, I took them to the dry cleaner we love.
When she saw them, she oohed and aahed over them like crazy. Then she asked where to buy such delicate and pretty things. I told her to invest in a time machine!
The only drawback — the styles were shorter back then.
So when my teeny tiny girl fits into my one-year-old things at the age of two, they are pretty short.
But again — I die over them, so who cares.
And the HUGE bonus — she got to wear a full slip underneath!
(Some of my greatest memories from growing up, take place with all of my sisters in our full slips, playing after church.)

So to honor the short length — I dressed Navy in her shortest dress also.
(Sidenote — Navy’s shoes were changed the moment I noticed them.)
This girl, with her silly smile was so happy to twirl and dance in her pretty dress.
She actually did a full dance in it, to the sacrament hymn for all of us!
Now it’s time to pack it up, for my future granddaughters.
And that’s rad!
Thanks Mom.
And thanks Nonnie.

While snapping pics of her in my dress, I got a shot of her blinking. And for the first time, I got a really good picture of Pippi’s amazing eye lashes!
Check those babies out!
I’m jealous — as is probably every other girl who sees them.
