the Lucy dress

Several years ago, my niece, Emma, saw the movie, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and fell in love with one of Lucy's dresses.  She and her mother asked my mom if she could make Emma a dress like Lucy's.  My mom watched the movie and constructed a pattern on her own of a dress to look as much like Lucy's as she could. 

Here's a picture of the movie cast with Lucy (the youngest, in the front) wearing the dress Emma liked so much.

Well, Emma wore and loved the Lucy dress (as it's always been lovingly called) until she grew out of it, and then she passed it along to Rachel.  I'm now reading Rachel the book, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and she's loving it.  Last night she asked if she could wear the Lucy dress to church today.  She hasn't seen the movie, and doesn't know what her dress looks like, but now she knows who Lucy is, and enjoyed wearing the dress this morning.

And Rebecca looked cute (in one of Rachel's dresses) so she had to be included in the pictures, too!
