Blessing Dress

I was going through all of the tubs of clothes that we have for Nathaniel to see what I could re-use for Madyson and what we would be able to pass on to our expected Nephew Luke. I found a tub that had clothes from when I was a young girl and lo and behold there was a beautiful crocheted blanket. I pulled it out because it was white, which would be perfect for the background pictures for Madyson's blessing and underneath it was a beautiful white tiny dress. It was my blessing dress with little booties. I was so excited. So I took some pictures to show you how beautiful it is and I am so excited to use it. I called my mom to find out the story and she had wanted to make my dress and when to her grandma to ask her to help her. Ruth, my great-grandmother, decided that it was a very beautiful pattern and too hard for my mom to do it and so she made the dress herself with little booties and a matching blanket. She also made my mom a boy outfit and then make blessing dresses for all of her grandchildren from then on. She has stopped making anything for quite some time so I feel very blessed to have this heirloom in the family. It means a lot.

Such a beautiful dress!
