Liesl, I can’t believe you shared that picture for the world to see! so funny. That’s not exactly what I had in mind when I said “matching.” I really really would not dress myself in a replica of my baby’s outfit. What I had in mind is more like coordinating. I was thinking more that the scraps left over from a grown up dress are just the right size to make something for the baby.
However, for Easter, I’m planning ties for the boys from the same fabric as her dress. That probably won’t happen often, either, because Christmas and Easter clothes are prime hand me downs. Only DS1 gets a new Christmas outfit. DS2 wears that one two years later. I stick to a red-based outfit so it looks OK in Photos. When it comes to ready to wear sibling outfits, btw, I’ve been through this one for the past three years and I have to say that it’s nearly impossible to find two “coordinating” boy outfits in sizes 2 and 4, though it’s easy to find two of the same thing. The effort involved in making them appear nicely coordinated will eventually wear thin.
But little girls matching their dollies is always cute, right? I can’t wait for that stage!
