What have these girls been up to? Yellow looks like she's about to be madly sick.

Looks more like they are directing jets on an aircraft carrier LOL. Now that would be a sight

My first impression was that the girls were reacting to an incidence of flatulence. Evidence, perhaps, that I am overdue for some adult conversation (my son has recently discovered potty humor - how long does this stage last?).

Hey, just a reminder that the Liberty collection is at Target now!
(honestly though, I'm kind of disappointed. I was hoping for more cotton, but almost all I've had a chance to look at so far is cheap-feeling polyester. YMMV though, so it's worth a look.)

Actually, I saw the image before I scrolled down to your six words. I laughed out loud because I thought you were going to comment along the same lines as what Natalie said! on my screen, you don't see why the yellow girl is bending over, so it looks like she is embarrassed.
(I didn't actually understand your six words. I will have to investigate.)

Yellow dress: Ewwwwww!!! What is it??!!!
White dress: Yuck! It stinks!
Grey dress: I'm not even going to look at it!

Amen to Hannatu's comment. Cute dress, hilarious illustration.

Oh, the diamond one! The diamond one! Did they actually MAKE that fabric with the border print? Even the strangest hand signals can't spoil that spectacular print!

LOL! My first thought before scrolling down was "Talk to the hand!"

I'm with Natalie. It comes from an overabundance of boys in the house, I'm sure! ....(I hope!)

Also with Natalie. Yellow either did it or is looking at the offending source.
My youngest boy (of 3) is 16. I think they all outgrew it a long time ago, but I didn't.

ROFL!
I really, really wish that pattern were mine.

Natalie - all their lives.
I noticed the phrase "quick and easy" are they referring to the girls or the pattern.

Makes me think of the "White chicks and Gang Signs" photo project a friend of mine did a few years ago. He'd go to bars on the weekend and get white chicks to flash gang signs, made a huge composite of it. Great stuff.

How many fingers do those girls have? It looks a lot like they only have 4 on each hand (that's including the thumb...)

As Natalie said, I've been with a toddler too long and I was also thinking they were fanning off some offensive smell (that explains yellow's vomit posture, too)

I'm thrilled to see this, odd hand gestures or not. "A" is my 8th grade graduation dress, which I loved! Mom made it in white organdy eyelet with a pale blue polished cotton cumberbund. Although this pattern cover looks vaguely familiar, and view A is definitely the same as my dress, I'm not sure this is the pattern she used. She never cared for Butterick patterns though I don't remember why.

I love that your mom made you cute, special dresses, Daisy, that you still remember with happiness!
