Dressing a girl has proven to be just as much fun as everyone said it would be (though I really enjoy dressing my boy, too!).
This weekend was a special treat for me because I put Abby in a dress of mine that my grandmother had made me. I wish daily that my grandma could meet my babies and it touched my heart so to see Abigail in this dress made with loving hands.
I was saddened a bit because it was a little short and I'm afraid that's going to prove to be the case with many of my clothes - I don't have Abby's long legs!
But all the same, I thought she looked precious!

How precious! The length may have a lot to do with styles in the 70s, too. Dresses came barely below the bloomers and you could see all of the legs. I think we are used to seeing the longer dresses now and it makes the older ones look even shorter.
So sweet! You could always pair it with some capri pants - I can get extra life out of dresses this way.
I tear up looking at this. I'm so glad I saved the things she made you. Your friend is right--dresses were much shorter then. In fact, it took me awhile to adjust to how long Peyton's and Addy's dresses were. I thought it was a preference of their mom's, but then I realized it was the accepted length.
Thanks for posting this, daughter.
She is precious as usual!
Your dress is so cute on her.
Love it....Dee
