Roughy Flower Girl

If there's one thing I worry about with Lilie, it's her sensitivity to clothing.  I'm sure I'm to blame for the original incident that somehow scarred her for life...  Somewhere along the way, Lilie was exposed to a piece of clothing that was too rough.  Since then, anything that's not fleece or jersey material is too 'roughy' (she first used that term to describe the whiskers on my face, so you can see how painful other material must be).

Denim?  "Too roughy!"

A skirt made out of jersey material with tulle* trim?  "Too roughy!"

A flower girl dress with a layer of tulle* between two layers of satin?  "Too roughy!"

Anything with an embroidered decoration?  "Too roughy!"

We have two couches.  One is the soft one, the other is the "roughy one". 

Liliana's dress in our wedding had to be altered by Grandma, who sewed an old soft t-shirt inside it to mitigate the fact that there was... yes, tulle* on it.

Liliana did such a fine job of flower-girling for us that she was recruited for another wedding this weekend.  We purchased a flower girl dress for her that's really cute, as you'll see.  We ran into the tulle* problem again.  Grandma came to the rescue again.  This time, Liliana had a huge problem with the dress, and it was only recently that we finally managed to convince her to try it on.

Good thing we did!  It needs to come up a half-inch or so.  Otherwise she'll end up stumbling her way down the aisle.  Once she was in it, and realized it was quite comfy, she couldn't stop spinning in it.

Here are the pics:

Practicing for the wedding party pictures.  EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

Another day, another chance to try on the dress - this time, with pajamas on underneath.

Thanks, Chewbacca...  Just what I wanted in the pic!

* For the record, yes I did have to look up tulle : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tulle_netting.  It's not something we men understand, but some of us are not unaware of its existence.  I mean, I know about it - I just don't get it.
