The Blessing Dress..... then and now.

I saw somewhere pictures of a cute, little girl in her blessing dress both when she was tiny and then again when she was a toddler. I loved this idea and vowed I would do the same for Lucy. I am so glad I thought of it today because her dress fit her perfectly! I think she needs a bunch in the same style to wear to church. (or maybe I should be brave and let her wear this one.)
So, here you go.

Then:

(sorry for the rotten picture, all the good ones are from Kiddie Kandid and since I don't have a scanner, this is what you get.)

And Now:

Of course, I am totally biased and think she is the most beautiful thing in the whole, wide world, but isn't she lovely? She is getting so grown up.

Plus..... a big shout out to whoever I stole this idea from. Thanks!

   That is an interesting idea! Do you think Paige will still fit in hers?
   I love the one where she is kissing the stuffed animal- it looks so old fashioned to me..maybe sepia it??

   So, i got to thinking..if it is cool to do this, what is so wrong with getting bridals taken 12 years later?

   so cute! Can you imagine if I tried to stuff Jack into his little blessing tux when he is a year old? I guess it's a bit different for boys. I wish I would have done that for the girls. :-) I REALLY want you to come and get some pics of Jack (and maybe even the girls). Or I can come to you...let me know. :-) Will you trade for hair bows? I can do some editing,..just need some good shots with a good camera. Let's talk...:-)

   I have a friend who is a sewing master. I told her how I wanted it to look and she whipped it right up. She did an awesome job!

   you really have a great eye for this photography stuff, I wish I could get you to take some pics of Savannah. Kiddie kandids just don't do it for me. Beautiful.

   LOVE this idea I don't think my chubby baby would even fit in her blessing dress, do you think a doll would do the trick?
   
   Lucy is beautiful :)

   She is gorgeous!!! and so is the dress. My cousin made Maggie's dress big so she could wear it for the first year. I love it. Also I thought I was the last person on the planet without a scanner until a couple of weeks ago. I finally got a new printer/scanner/copier. I can't wait to play with it!
