The Dress:
I got her dress form Target's Liberty of London line.
Originally, it was a halter dress, but Miss Bets doesn't do
so good with halter style things.
That and the straps were as thin as spaghetti.
Not a good combo.
I added new thicker straps out of scrap pillow fabric.
Every dance dress needs some bling,
so I added little sparkly buttons here and there,
on the straps, on the pockets.
Overall, it turned out great, and she LOVED it!
When Big Daddy gave her the corsage,
she was in awe.
Immediately after, she bent down, picked up a clump of leaves,
and gave it to Jake.
I guess she felt bad she didn't get him a boutonniere.
It was the most sensitive, thoughtful gesture.
She's a doll.
This is my favorite photo!
Betsy is in love with her Daddy's truck.
It only made sense to get photos of them and the truck.
Duh!
Plus, she wouldn't get out of it.
I pick my battles.
I am so glad they had a great time!
P.S.
Thanks, Aunt Jilly-bean, for the hair did.
Betsy's 'buns' were perfect!
We had a blast!! She did push me away a lot so she could dance with her friends, but we still snuck in a few dances!
