How long can you make a dress last, anyway?
Follow That Star posted about how his mom used to dress him in clothes and shoes that were always two sizes too big.. It's pretty much how all of us lived back then. Apparently I was much easier on my clothes than he was and I have proof.

Here I am somewhere between 4 and 5 months old (the date on the picture is May, and I was born on the last day of January)

And here I am at about 2 and a half. SAME DRESS, two years later!

So unlike FTS, I could make my clothes last two years.

To be fair to my mom, she really didn't dress us in clothes that were way too big for us. The rule of thumb was there needed to be about a finger's width room to grow in the shoes. Since I mostly wore dresses as a kid, they just started out long and got shorter. One of the benefits of being a girl, I guess.

Thanks for the fun memory FTS!
