When “dressing” my characters, I often looked in mail order catalogues to see what was currently fashionable. The dress Elizabeth is wearing in this Sunday page was from the “evening” section of the Sears catalogue. Now, I’d be doing my research online!
I had exactly that dress when I was young, a red velveteen sailor’s dress. Right before we were supposed to go out, I went with my brothers to walk our dog, who was an exuberant golden retriever. I begged them to let me hold the leash, “just for a minute.” Needless to say, the big guy sensed someone smaller on the other end of the leash and took off through the muddy cornfield. Knowing how hard he was to catch when he got loose, I hung on doggedly (pun intended), and I ended up looking just like April, except at the front!

Unless April is the flower girl, I can think of no reason on Earth to bring a child her age to a wedding anyway!

Sigh. You’ll just have to hose her down a little and hold her out the window on the way to the church for a blow dry. It’ll be okay.

While April may make a wonderful impression when she walks in, the second impression when she walks by won’t be quite so good.

That is why I dressed myself first and THEN the kids! Wasn’t 100% successful but it helped. :\

Just take her to Anne and say, I’ll pay you double today. Bye! It’s a weekend.

Hose her off and hang her up to dry in the garage. By the time you get back she should be dry and ready for a light lunch and a nap.

With that dress and her hair up like that, Liz looks as old as her mother.

Wow! John does a horrible job of taking care of his yard. That is one of the worst lawns I’ve ever seen!
