Mama Matched Me-but she got the "sexy" version

"1976? I think I was 3 or 4 in this picture. Taken at my Grandma's house, I'm pretty sure my mum made my outfit, as per usual...
I think this was a Christmas dress. The scary part? Mum had one to match (only a little sexier for the adult version." (via)

What could the "sexier version" possibly be for this Stepford Wives/Big Love style dress? Perhaps a slit cut up to there? A shorter black ribbon in front?

I am particularly fond of the ornately carved dining room set, the crystal candelabra and glass candy dishes decorating the bar cart, the caramel brown carpeting, and the china hutch peeking from the next room. Ahhh-when faux Bavarian-castle-royalty-style meets the suburbs it always says classy to me.

Dang-That woman can SEW

"Disco fever 1979! I was about 4 at the time...How do I know I was loved? Well...Mom made that suit. She's got some sewing ninjitsu." (via)

Sewing inspires
haiku to fabulousness
fashionista mom

Mama wields scissors
Makes suit of finest fabric
Polyester best

Turtleneck is nice
because it means there is no
need to make a tie.
