Here is a better picture of Greta's blessing dress. The white fabric was quite sheer and the slip was made from a silky turquoise fabric so the whole look was a very subtle turquoise. It has 3 small turquoise beads sewed in the center of each of the flowers on the trim. (the bottom picture shows the beads the best, you can click to enlarge if you so desire!)
My sister-in-law, Julianna, made a cute bracelet to match. We thought we were going to bless her earlier than we did and in the mean time she chunked it on so it barely fit. I made the beady socks.
Here is a comparison of the two girls on their blessing days. Greta was 3 months 5 days old and Tess was 2 1/2 months old. Tom has teased me about going too traditional with Greta since I was VERY rebellious on tradition with Tess. But I loved both dresses and they seem to match their personalities. (My mom made Tessa's dress too; and Julianna made her anklet.)

Both dresses and babies are adorable! I can't believe how much Gretta and Tess look alike. And, I love your rebellious side. I blessed Emma in a cute little sundress...it was white, but I still felt a little rebellious myself.
What adorable little girls. I can't wait to meet Miss Greta!
Your mom did a fantastic job. The girls both looked beautiful.
I SOOO wouldn't stop making babies if I were you!! They come out so stinkin' cute!! (And very very beautiful!!!)
I love Greta's dress and your girls are beautiful!
That dress is so cute.I wish I could come.
Hi my name is Angie. I came upon your blog through a friend. I love your blog, and Greta's dress. I also love Tessa's dress and your admitted rebellion. I've been so inspired by your blog and hope to steal some of your ideas, and maybe even Christmas traditions to implement in my family. I was hoping to add your blog to my blog roll so that I can read about your lovely family often. May I please?
Just gorgeous! YOu have beautiful children. I love both dresses.
