preserved memories
I remember when I was around 12 years old and I used to wear this dress around the house. Back then I never even contemplated wearing it outside, it was simply the dress that I wore at home. Yet, now I wish I never had to take it off. I've always been more partial to longer length clothing, and this dress fulfils that very well. When I was younger this dress always reminded me of the Little House books that I used to practically devour. I was obsessed with reading about Laura Ingalls' life, and I wanted to be just like her. Therefore, whenever I wore this dress, I could imagine that I too was moving across the country in a buggy, and helping build a house from logs or sitting beside a wood burning fireplace sewing. Even now, when I wear this dress, I remember those childhood fantasies and they make my heart warm up because after all, the best clothes are the ones with the best memories.

This is simply the PERFECT Laura Ingalls Wilder dress! I too adored the books and read them obsessively. And I agree absolutely that the best clothes are the ones with the best memories - love the fact that you have had this dress since you were 12. It looks great belted.
I'm in love!!

I agree. Some clothes just bring back so many memories that make me smile, I could never imagining abandoning them.
That said, I can't believe you can fit into stuff from when you were 12! I don't think I can fit in things from high school!

This doesn't get sound too often on style blogs - but I really love the text that you wrote! What a beautiful thought.. "the best clothes are the ones with the best memories." Awww :)
Wonderful dress and belt, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
