A few days before Mom arrived a couple weeks ago, a large box showed up at my office from Mom. My coworkers knew that could mean only one thing: dresses. When she arrived a couple of days later, we tried everything on and she marked where each dress needed tweaking. A few dresses shown here, namely the first and last ones, only needed hemming--they were perfect right out of the box. The second dress shown here is a true wrap dress that she sent a month or so ago, but I haven't posted on it. Eat your heart out, Diane von Furstenburg!
And so, I present to you, faithful WAD readers, the 2010 Cavalcade of Mom Dresses! (Model's face has been obscured to prevent PTSD in the general public.)

OMGWTFBBQBACONDRESSES!!!1!!
Mom wasn't kidding. They ALL turned out spectacularly! Dress #6, aka "the Myrtle Mae Dress" (after the dress Mom created SO many years ago for my role in Harvey, and for which the late, great red hen of E&P fame was named) is fantastic. I'd best get rolling and find some fabric for my own, since I can't fit into the original one any more.
Damn, those are AWESOME. EPIC MOM SEWING WIN!!!
I am SO jealous of your Mom. I want to learn how to make clothes like that!
You know, if you ever need a few extra bucks, you could rent out your mom ;-)
WANT!
WANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANT!
Mom needs to go into business designing, make and selling clothes. The dresses are nicely proportioned and very flattering.
Ok Readerz, I'm working on a comprensive "body measurement diagram" to be sent out to prospective dress wanters (is that a wrd?) Send yur address to Why Arch. Drink or Educated & Poor. Have-Adjustable-Manequin-Will-Ship. Right now for a simple one like The Best Dress EVER is $60 + cost of fabric. Get thee to Johanne's GO! Don't you love that last one? Right now it's namr is The-Dress-From-Hell. It took a week to get right. Vogue. What can you do?
LOL! Mom, I think you're selling yourself short. But $60 for a Best-Dress-EVAR is a start... :-)
