Easter Dresses

Well, I had a little moment of nostalgia today as my sister and I reminsced about the importance of the "Easter Dress." Every year it was a really big deal. "Do you have your Easter dress yet?" "Wait until you see my Easter dress." Having a son, I really miss the whole thrill of the new dress. That crossed my mind tonight as I was shopping at the Mart. I found these two pieces:



My momma would just die if she knew I was sporting an Easter "dress" from the Mart.

Then again, I might wear this green dress, which I bought from a CAbi show recently. It is on pages 16 and 18 of the catalogue.

Am I the only one that still gets all caught up in the thrill of the Easter dress?
