My New Dress!

I just bought the most amazing dress from Goodwill! It is a periwinkle Blue, with puffed sleeves that Anne Shirley would be proud of...

"Anne took the dress and looked at it in reverent silence. Oh, how pretty it was!.....But the sleeves--they were the crowning glory! Long elbow cuffs, and above them two beautiful puffs divided by rows of shirring and bows of brown-silk ribbon." - L.M. Montgomery, "Anne of Green Gables" chapter XXV.

My mom funded this purchase.. I was pretty happy with the price... $5.00. Thanks Mom!

It just so happens that we have some flowers in our front yard that are the EXACT SAME COLOR as the dress.. Ok, perfect photo op! So I grabbed my dress, my camera, and my 9-year-old sister and flew out the door, snipping a few Bachelor Buttons along the way. The following is a photo collage of pictures taken by My sister and I. Enjoy.

Wow. I'm jealous.

My mom says your dress looks like her best friend's brides maid's dress that she wore in my mom's wedding.only shorter.
