Vintage Christmas Dress by Great Auntie Kris


This red velvet number, handmade by Audrey's Great Aunt Kris, was worn by by both Kris (jr.) and Janna on their first Christmases, and this year was modeled by Audrey at her grandparent's place in Grapevine. She is younger than the two previous wearers were, so instead of being seated in front of the Christmas tree she sort of lay in a velvet puddle, supported by pillows and/or one of us. The Willcox family papparazzi gathered around and several hundred pictures were taken. To our great relief, she did not spit up until the dress was safely back in its storage bag. In some way I think she understood the importance of the event and maintained a cool demeanor. (Kris, we'll send some prints!)
