This is so funny. That system seems more than fair! My mom and I often neglected to tell my dad how much dresses cost too – but it’s great to see the practical logic behind it.

I bow to your wisdom! And am highly grateful that I am learning this now, in time to use the same tactics when my daughter is at the formal wear age.

LOL, Barry! I wish my girls would share stuff like that. Unfortunately my 14 year old has hips like me, my almost 13 year old is just getting some (but has really, really long legs-all her Dad!), and the 10 year old is not a teen yet. I hope as they grow and get older they can start to share clothes. It would definitely help with the budget!

Ingenious! And I think it’s awesome that you can fit into your daughters’ dresses. Forget that pregnancy weight you gained, because you obviously worked to get that nice body back by the time you were able to share clothes with them!
I remember my dad being horrified at the cost of my wedding dress, but not getting that it was actually a REALLY GOOD DEAL because we got a Maggie Sottero gown for 50%. It was a floor model and fit me perfectly, only needing a tiny bit of hemming. My mom got what a good deal it was, but dad? Not so much!

I fully understand you girlfriend! You are one smart shopper. I would had give anything to be able to fit into my daughter’s dresses when she was growing up. It sounds like you did get your money’s worth for sure!

It’s funny how we all tell those little white lies to our husbands. Eventually, they really do understand.
