All Dressed Up

Before I forget, I want to share the dress I made my daughter to wear at a recent family wedding. The dress that I almost talked myself out of making. Which is an easy thing to do when you stop by TJMaxx the week of the wedding and see a handful of really cute dresses for less than $15.00 each, and think to yourself, “gee, how fast and easy would it be to just have her wear that?!” But then you remind yourself that you have been wanting to make her a dress with these Amy Butler fabrics for a long time now. And you steer clear of the children’s department and you go home and sketch a pattern and sew and are happy you did it.

I intended for the dress to be worn sleeveless, but unfortunately it was rainy and cold the day of the wedding. Rather than change gears and dress my daughter in something warmer, I surrendered to pairing the dress with a t-shirt and leggings underneath. It wasn’t really the look I was going for, but I was (stubbornly) determined that she wear the dress.  And, of course, her zebra-striped dancing shoes!

And although the day’s weather mostly resembled a monsoon, there was a brief respite from the rain that allowed the bride and groom a chance for outdoor photographs. Hurrah! They were radiant and we had a blast celebrating with them.

Eli wore a suit for the first time, and my emotions went from “oh, look how cute,” to “wait a second, he’s growing up WAY too fast,” in about five seconds flat.  While his suit jacket was a decent enough fit, the matching pants were too baggy. A quick serge along the outside seams of each pant leg transformed the pants into a slimmer fit. Okay, so that’s not the way a tailor would have done it, but it got the job done, fast. And he was ready to dance, too, in his Converse!

I think Eli accurately captured all of our sentiments about the event.  “Mommy, I really like weddings,” he said at breakfast the next morning.  Me, too! Best wishes and much love to the happy couple!
