This past Saturday, I purchased Maura's dedication gown from Strasburg Children. I've really been looking at gowns and after having found several that I just adored, Jason vetoed them due to their being too lacy, like a wedding dress, etc. Anyway, I've kept going back to this dress over and over again because I like simple yet elegant. It is a white silk dupioni gown with a smocked bodice with ecru hand embroidery - I love it. Well, I went to Franklin and bought it then showed it to Jason - I knew he really didn't care but he seemed to like it too. He said, "It's better than the others." I'll take what I can get!
Maura is going to be too long for my dedication gown because I've always been short, so I had to find something else for her. I wanted something that wasn't stark white but more of an ecru and this outfit totally caught my eye! I hope to have her dedicated in November since it is National Month of Adoption but we'll see what our pastor thinks when she gets home.
