Put in your vote

This is the blessing dress my mom made for Brooklyn. My whole pregnancy my doctor was preparing me for a nine pound baby. Imagine my surprise when I had Brooklyn at 6 pounds 2 ounces! Well my very talented mother was planning ahead for Brooklyn's blessing dress and made it for a large baby. I LOVE LOVE the dress and really want to use it. I am not sure if it just looks ridiculous or if it is alright to use. I am asking all of you for your honest opinions. A few of my sisters love the dress and said they would use if/when they have a baby girl. The dress will most likely not go to waste. What do you think????
Below are some pictures of the dress. My mom really did do a great job, it looks store bought! I love it but don't want to have Brooklyn wear it if it is going to look awful. That would make the dress and Brooklyn look bad, and they are both too cute for that!

When are you going to bless her? You could always wait until she's 3 months old and then it would fit better. What dress would you use if you didn't use this one?

I can't vote cause I can't decide. The first picture doesn't look too bad but the second one kind of does. Can't you just load her up on milk for the next 2 weeks? :)

I say YES! Use it. Your Mom made it for Brooklynn and who cares, most babies look like their blessing outfits are a little too big. So I say Definitely YES!!!

We are blessing her Aug 2nd, I am trying my best to chubby her up! If I do not use this dress I need to go buy one. I am having a hard time finding one I love that I can get in such short notice. I am leaning toward having her wear this dress. I love that my mom made it and it is very pretty!

Keep voting though; I would love to hear what you say. You will find out what I do in a few weeks!

I say use it for sure! I don't think it looks bad. Like Courtney said the second picture kind of makes it look too big, but I think it's just around the neck. I wouldn't have even noticed it was too big if you didn't say so. I wish we could come up!

I think it looks better than a store bought dress!!! It does look a little big in the second picture, but I think she might grow into it in the next few weeks. I would use it because it was made for her, looks pretty, and I doubt you'll find anything better fitting (or better looking) so quickly. Maybe put a onesie on underneath to see if that helps fill it out. I don't know. I'll I know is she is cute. You could bless her in a diaper and she'd look good. :)

I agree with what everybody else said. With the first pic looking great, but noticing the size in the second one. I still think it is super cute. I think I would use it.
