If THEY'RE going to dress up, so are we!

On Saturday night, Meri had a friend stay overnight so she wouldn't be all alone while all the company was here. As soon as Maddy and her friends left for the Sweetheart ball, Meri and Veronika came into the kitchen with all the parents still milling around dressed to the hilt!Whenever Meri sees a gown type thing at a garage sale or on Freecycle, she collects them... And boy oh boy, they fit her! She's getting ready for prom at age 11. or even a wedding!

*like I'd LET her get married so young!* *um nope.*
Someone on Freecycle was giving away a bunch of wedding gowns that they had planned to use for some photography project they were working on but never got to. I didn't want to appear greedy, so we only got two. I've used the tiny seed pearls from the back train on one of them for those covered bead necklaces that I made before Christmas.Meri plans to die one of them a green, but crop it off to a shorter dress and wear it for fancy wear. I'm afraid of what it will die the pearls...

Can you believe that girls this age were getting married once upon a time?! YIKES!

But didn't you know, wedding dresses are so fun to wear! More so than ball gowns. I loved taking the train and flipping it so that it flowed just right behind me. And this was as a young adult!

I never find any good things on Freecycle. I used to love dressing up in evening gowns when I was her age.

There's nothing better than dress up fun with a girlfriend - no matter what the age. The look like the best of friends!
