This one of my favourites of Frankie's dresses. It was mine when I was little but that's not why. Its my favourite because someone kept this dress tucked away for thirty years - it went along on every move, survived every spring cleaning, and was returned each time it was borrowed. I think that's quite a feat. Especially today given the pace at which new replaces old.
We don't hold onto things for too long around here or hold onto too many things but as Frankie grows I'm going to make sure that I set aside her special and favourite outfits. Starting with this dress. So that in thirty years she can marvel at how tiny she was and share them with the tiny people in her life.
