Default Some Christmas Dresses

I always make Christmas dresses for my girls. I don't like how short the store dresses are on kids and since my daughters are tall for their age, it makes it much worse. This year, though, they picked out velvet and taffeta! Yikes! Not fun to gather or sew with. :-P So, here's the photos. My oldest is 10 and in the silver and black. My youngest is 8 and in the red and black.

Adorable girls and very pretty dresses. I have to agree with you about the length of dresses today. It's a shame, but that is fashion today. Have a Merry Christmas.

Your girls look so lovely in those dresses. We too dressed up for Christmas. My daughter still has some of the velvet and satin dresses I've made over the years.

Wow, great job, they look beautiful, and your girls look like angels in their pretty, new dresses! I miss my girls being that age and getting to sew for them.
