10 Dresses

This morning I spent some time packing up old dresses that I can't bear to part with. My very talented mom made them all and I just can't let them go, but I wanted to clear up some closet space, so they're now in the basement. As I sorted through them, I was amused at the styles, and appalled at how bad my memory is! I can't remember wearing some of them!

And now, a tour of 10 dresses.

My mom finished this dress for me the day before I moved to Indiana. When I put it on for the first time in Indiana, I found some money pined inside one of the pockets. I have the best mom!
Can't so much remember why, but I really wanted a Hawaiian print dress, so my mom made me this one. I loved it, it was so comfy! And the buttons are little silver fish!
I wore this dress under my robes as I graduated from BYU.
A bridesmaid dress for one of my best friend's weddings.

An ode to floral prints and wide lace collars, with shoulder pads too! I must have been shorter then.

This dress made me look pregnant--not because of anything my mom did, it was just the style. I never wore it, I thought I'd save it for when I was pregnant... Obviously I've still never worn it...

Oh...drop waist dresses...

More floral print with a wide collar, although I do remember it was very pretty at the time.

I believe I wore this dress to a Preference dance in high school...can't remember anything else about it...

I know I wore this dress to a Preference dance in high school. The dance was at the Provo Marriott and as we were having those cheesy pictures taken, my date fell through the paper backdrop...what memories! I also had my senior pictures taken in this dress.

It's amazing how styles change! I wonder what I'll think of the clothes I love now in ten years...
