Frau Jaeger dress.

When my mom was one year old in Germany, her babysitter, Frau Jaeger, made this dress (and others) for my mom out of wool that she had unraveled from other clothes.

My mom, Elna Austin Linford Clark (1955)

My parents dressed me in the same dress when I was one year old:

Me with my brothers, Matthias & Joseph

When Elna turned one I put her in the same dress for a photo shoot—she wasn’t the best little model and I kept thinking I would do retakes, but now that she’s 16 months old, I think I’m just going with these ones:

  1. Awwww. So precious! I just loved dressing Olivia in the same blessing dress I wore as a baby. I wish more of my cute dresses had been saved because I had some awesome ones. :)

    Anyway, looks like you guys are doing well! Lucy, we need to plan our get-together! This Friday actually just opened up for us. Are you guys available? Call or Facebook me. :)

  2. That's so neat! I love stuff like this--and what a cute dress! I wish I could make a cute dress out of yard that I unraveled from other clothes! :) And--I can't believe how much your mom looks like Annie in that picture of you two!
