A 32 year old Mom made dress has worn by 2 generations








I just stole Middy's photos in her blogspot for Nadia's post 2 days ago since I got trouble posting it myself... Thanks Middy!!!!

Okay, let's tell about the a very heart touching story about my very old dress which my Mother made and designed herself when I was about 3 years old. She used to make our pretty dresses, from play dresses to fancy dresses for all her 3 girls. I still remember that this dress is one of my favourite.... and I cannot believe that my daughter, wore it today for the photoshoot at her school. Everyone thought it was a cute little dress and Nadia really loved it, too. She spent some time admiring herself on the bathroom mirror before we headed to the school today. Here are the series of her pictures being shy and happy when I said she looks cute and checking herself out in the bathroom mirror...

We went to visit my Mom about 2 years ago when Nadia was only 9 months old, and my sister showed the dress which belongs to me and she told me her little girl wore that and it was awesome. I decided to bring it back to the States and keep it until Nadia can wear it. My mom kept some of the masterpieces, laundered them and keep them in a plastic bag, and it really looks still new regardless of the age of the dress now.

For me, it is very sentimental moment, because I really miss my family at this time, and I realized that I really had a wonderful childhood having a Mom who stayed home with us and a very talented Mother, too. I wouldn't be able to make such a pretty dress like that.

Mom, if you read this... I love you so much.... You are the best....!!!!
Can't wait to bring Nadia again to visit you in November.... and bring you along with us back for a visit.

Oh yes, after the photoshoot, we went together for a playdate with Zoe and Georgie.
