Yes, this is a question about smocking - as in little girls dresses.


My 2 girls are very fortunate in having 2 doting grandmothers.One who is very handy with a sewing machine, and makes all sorts of fantastic pinny dresses for ever-day wear. Both my girls wear them all the time, and look great.


The other granny - my mum, has a penchant for buying little smock dresses. these are very pretty, but not so practical, and easy for running around in. Each might get worn a couple of times especially if they are summer dresses, and we don't have that much summer weather occasions - only 1 child-friend with a summer birthday, and no foreseable weddings coming up. Luckilly having 2 girls means that these dresses do get a bit more wear because of being passed on, but again, only once or twice throughout the year.


There is a nursery photo morning coming up, and it is a nice opportunity to get the 2 girls photo taken together. Something we have never quite managed successfully. Here is my question - is it over the top to dress both girls in smocks to have their photo taken?


I don't know why I am worrying about it. I know it would make my mum happy to see them being worn. If I put them in their usual nursery clothes - jeans and t-shirt, then I might always think it a shame, not to have taken this opportunity to see them looking smart and pretty both together.I suppose that if I do, then it is ultimate proof that I am actually turning into my mum.


Any suggestions, silly or serious, welcome.


Thanks

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
