1980's Yellow Dress

When my mom was born, she had a ruffled yellow dress with a matching bonnet, yellow socks, yellow shoes and even yellow blanket. She even had some professional photos taken in the dress! As she got older, Grandma decided to keep this whole outfit for mom to keep. Several years ago, when my Mom bought Grandma's house, they put the dress in a special location so that when I was born I could have my own photos in the dress. Years went by and I was born... And have you seen me in this dress???? (By the way, isn't my mom cute there? I thought I looked like her baby photos, but that doesn't really look like me....) That would be a big fat no. Mom lost the dress!!!! She's searched the house high and low ever since she knew she was having a baby girl. She never could find it. Then last week when she decided to stop looking, she came across it!!!! She was so happy, but so sad at the same time, because the dress is so tiny and I'm so big.... But she tried it on me anyway.... It wouldn't button and it's way too short and the shoes, socks, nor bonnet fit, but for a few photos it was worth it, Mom said. Mom didn't have the blanket, but I have my own yellow afgan. Look at me!!! What a cutie I am!!!
But I didn't want to sit still very long for a photo shoot, so up I went! Mom wanted me to post this photo on here to show how much a mini-dress it is on me!
Mom - this dress smells a little musty....like it's been in a box since 1980. Oh wait, it probably has!!!
