2nd Generation Dress
These photos are actually taken when Josette was around 2 months old. The dress she is wearing has some history in that it was actually my dress! I was waiting to post in hopes that I could scan a picture of me wearing it, but we haven't unearthed the photo yet. The story I was told of this dress was that my mom fell in love with it when she was pregnant with me, but she didn't know if I would be a girl and couldn't justify the cost (a whopping $10.00) at the time. There was just the one at the Air Force Academy BX and one day, she went in and saw that it was gone. She was very surprised when one of her best friends, Rhoda (my godmother!) showed up at the hospital with the dress when I was born. So much so, that she cried. This dress hung in my closet all through my childhood and I remember taking it out occasionally to admire it and have my mom tell me the story. When Josette was born, my Dad immediately sent the dress out so she could wear it too.

That is so sweet Sadie. I have a few dresses like that. They'll be staying in the closet until I (hopefully) have granddaughters!
Love this! We did the same thing with the girls. I found a huge frame with space for 3 8x10 pics and we put all three of us in it. It's one of my favorites and hangs in the living room.
Wow, does that bring back memories, I will tweek Kelly's ear again and see if she will look for the original photo. Great Grandma Josette just loved it! Bubbles
I don't think I ever knew that story, I would love to see the pic too. She is so beautiful. Love you Sissy
Your Mom was so upset when that dress disappeared out of the BX. I had to buy it - just in case. I'll look for our copy of the picture of you wearing that dress. Josette looks beautiful in it. It would be great to frame the pictures side by side.
