So the other day TC and I took the girls to Kohls to exchange some dresses they received from my MIL…the dresses were nice buuuuuuuut they had polo collars and my girls welll…they just don’t dig polo collars.
So anyway we started looking in the 7-14 section – I was AMAZED at the prices of the dresses…$40+ - now granted we were at Kohls so you knock off 30-40% - but still and forget trying to look for a simple cotton sundress – those apparently don’t come in sizes 7 and above.
As I started looking at the dresses a thought came to me.
Maybe I could make the girls some dresses myself (nevermind I JUST got a new sewing machine that is still sitting in the box because after reading the manual I am scared of it)
DING DING DING DING…
What the hell are those bells – why every time a woman turns a little more into her mother her mother gets an “I told you so” notch on her mothering belt
The moment I had that thought I was instantly whisked back to 1980 something…
Anyone remember JAMS shorts…
You know the butt ugly print shorts that EVERYONE had to have?
I wanted a pair…my mom took one look and said “Nope, to expensive but I will make you a pair”
And so she did…and when I complained there was no “JAMS” tag on the back…you know what she did…oh yes she sewed up a little tag that said “MOMS”…
After that incident I knew better than to ask for a Jimmy Z skirt…

OMG, my mom DID.THE.EXACT.SAME.THING. down to the personalized label and all!
Freaky!
SHUT. UP. It's gotta be a mom thing, although so far I've been fortunate enough to avoid that with my girls. For me it was the matching cotton shirt/matching shorts ensemble that got my mom going. EEK! She actually did a nice job but still.....
GOod for you! Let me know if you get too scared, and I can make them for you...
I can't wait to see! I kept trying to jam Abby into a size 6X for as long as possible! I can't believe how much more expensive and ho-like the 7-14 clothes are compared to the 4-6X.
