Vintage Style

Sometimes hand-me-downs are not so bad.  We did a little photo shoot tonight in some of the great dresses that have been passed down through the family for Rachel to wear (at least long enough for a picture).

First up is a beautiful crochet dress made in 1947 for Aunt Diane by Florence Buckner, Rachel's great-great-grandmother.

Next we went forward in time to the 1970s in another crochet dress made for me by Rachel's great-grandmother, Elfreda Catrina Hughes.

(note this is not a mug shot - it is just what you get when you ask Rachel to stand against the wall with her feet together and hands at her side)

Finally, Rachel modeled a calico dress with smocking made around 1970 by Aunt Gladys Fisher.  Lamby wanted to pose for this one as well.

Owen has his own outfit to show off.  He tried on the outfit that Wes wore when he was christened and looked great in it.  Clearly, he was pretty happy for the photo shoot.
