Photos of handmade dresses

It would have been so much nicer to just write 'handmade dresses' as a title... yes, it definitely would have... But nope. There is no way I could ever sew anything myself. For me sitting behind a sewing machine is the same as sitting behind a flight deck of an airplane - I have no idea what all these buttons mean and how I'm supposed to do everything at once (and with that said let's all hope there won't come a day when I'll be forced to learn how to drive a car... this can not possibly end well). 

For me it has always been kind of magic when my mother has sat down to first cut out the pattern out of a cloth (again, an absolute mystery - how do you know what is what?? and what to sew together?? and where the leg goes??), then sat behind the sewing machine and after some loud noise and maybe a little anger towards the fabric, handed me a piece of clothing.

So, since I'm not any good for sewing myself, I decided to take photos of all the masterpieces my mother has made me for the past 5 years!

I don't have any adjustable lights so this is what my "set" looked like :)

And here's a collection of photos I made:

 It was painful and really difficult to put some of these on but I hope by doing this we'll be able to appreciate them  even when I get fat and can't fit in them anymore... :)
