My 2 youngest brothers weren't born yet.
Left to Right: Julie (4), Martha (6), Angie (2), Laura (9), Karen (6 months) and Matt (5)
We wore a lot of hand-me-downs from our cousins and neighbors. At the time, we thought it was fun to have new matching dresses. Years later, though, my sister Karen complained that she had to wear red polka dotted hand-me-down dresses for years and years.

What a great picture. Could that be a stuffed owl or something similar your brother is holding?
And yes, Karen probably had a valid complaint, lol
Cute pic! I can see how she would have a lot of years wearing the polka-dot dresses!I recall my Mama and I having matching dresses one year. Made by my cousins wife.
I never had a sister to wear matching dresses with--I felt cheated. Cute photo, and oh the poor youngest girl! Claire aka knitnkwilt
LOL - I can just imagine the constant hand-me-down cycle - large family myself and it happened often.
Oh gosh is this post adorable!! Our mom's were so practical.
Oh! Karen has a great point, the same one my sisters had. To your mother, like mine, that didn't matter. What matter was that this fabric was the only one that fitted within the budget of that year. Amen! (like my mom would say). Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it a lot. ;^)
One time it was definitely good to be the oldest! Cute dresses, though. Thanks for sharing.
