Yesterday's theme was bridesmaid and I couldn't shorten my short list of six.
So, just to prove that I am a total Polly nerd, I have done six sets!
One for each.
And here they are...
Which would you chose?
If any....

Polly x 6!
Okay, so it's no secret that I LOVE Danimezza's Polly Dolly Challenge.
Yesterday's theme was bridesmaid and I couldn't shorten my short list of six.
So, just to prove that I am a total Polly nerd, I have done six sets!
One for each.
And here they are...

Polly is a Bridesmaid
Danielle from Danimezza has Polly as a bridesmaid this week.
Bridesmaids, and anything to do with weddings, are one of my all time favourite things.
I could write a mammoth post on bridesmaids alone.
Oh what the heck, I think I will.
My first bridesmaid memory was when I was four years old and a flower girl for my aunt.
I clearly remember sitting on the counter of the fabric store (Gardams, in Brisbane).
My aunty's two cousins and I had picked a lovely ivory crepe with a pink flower print (it was the 70s!).
But there was not enough on the roll for our three dresses.
So we went with the blue flowers instead.
When I was a child my parents went to a lot of weddings.
We were never invited, luckily our baby sitter lived next door (Nan).
But I couldn't wait for Mum to get home so I could ask her...
What colour were the bridesmaids dresses?
How many were there?
What was the bride's dress like?
What did the cake look like?
What kind of flowers did they have?
Mum always gave me a detailed description.
I was lucky she had an eye for detail, because it would be weeks before I could see photos.
No digital cameras back then!
Then I grew up and went to a lot of weddings myself, including two of my own!
From the 80s to now I've been to 36 weddings, and was a bridesmaid three times.
Here's a little collage of the bridesmaids of some of the weddings I was invited to.
Some were hideous, some were gorgeous, some have dated well, and some...not so much.
These are the bridesmaids' dresses from my first wedding...
I did love those dresses! *sigh*
Here are the three bridesmaid dresses/outfits I've worn...
I've also made bridesmaids dresses for five weddings and flowergirls dresses for two weddings.
Here are the dresses I've made...
For our wedding, we decided not to have any attendants other than my adorable little niece.
She was 4 at the time...now she's 13!
I made her dress, too.
And now, I finally it's Polly's turn!
Polly is a bridesmaid this week.
OK...so this challenge was a little too difficult for me.
Too difficult to choose just ONE!
This was my short list and I couldn't cut it down so I'm putting them all up.
I'm disappointed though that I can't do the full on accessorized set, that would be way too much.
Which one do you like best?
Please help me choose, then I can do a full set for just one!!
