Yeah, I totally agree with you - dresses we wore when we were kids were awesome! Tbh, in many of my childhood pics I am dressed in... dresses! What's more, only one of them was pink! Now it seems EVERYTHING made for little girtls IS pink!
But, I must say - those dresses WERE cute! The more fancy, the better!
Now, after many years I'm in love with my black dress I wore at prom! (haha, exactly 5 months ago ) She's perfectly formal I need some nice heels for her though... xD

Back on Earth... Your dresses are lovely! My little simmies are sure to wear them on weddings! (but I hope not only!)
Thank you

Yes! I also loved these dresses. Except mine were mostly floral.
My mom had sewing patterns from some sewing magazine and made the dresses herself. I refused to wear anything else back then (they still made me to though :/).

So thank you, thank you, thank you!

The light blue version reminds me of the dresses I wore at an all-girls boarding school for four years... the only thing missing is the apron I had to wear over it, but the dress style is just like it.

*no worries its good memories, I had fun at that school.

Hey, my mother used to make most of my dresses too, and strangly enough they were mostly floral! Sadly she couldn't after a while and I was stuck wearing only store bought ones. I still have all the pretty ones she made me, like my one with the cherries on it :D

Haha! I know what you mean, there's so much pinkness out there for little girls today, not even just that but it's usually dark pink, or fuschia which really hurts my eyes. I miss the good old days of the pastel-any-colour dresses :P
Can't say I relate, my prom dress stunk...then again it was really simple. I'd imagine yours is waaay better :P
Glad you like them :D

Hey, an apron, now that sounds like a cool addition...maybe I'll add some
What kind of aprons did you used to wear? Half or full?

Aw these are lovely. I especially love the texture on the top. Finally, a texture that gives the kid an actual body shape other than block with appendages sticking out!

AlfredAskew: Yea, I hate it when textures look like that, I mean honestly my top textures could stand to be better too, but I try my best to make the clothing appear to have shape Glad you like them!

NikonSnow: No, no, no, thank you for enjoying them :D

It was a little square half apron with lace at the edges... similar to what these girls are wearing, just younger. I hope the URL works...

Im a military brat so when my dad was stationed over seas, I went to boarding school while he was away.

So kind of a free time dress apron only shorter? Or was it more like a ruffled lace edge similar to this?
Pockets too I'm assuming?

Haha, can't say I relate I was never military brat, just a generic brat (heavy on the brat) :P
I always wore aprons (and still do) whenever I bake with my grandmother though...I've worn everything from ruffles and lace to "Worlds Greatest Grandma!".

More like the ruffled lace one, except it was a little more square & had ruffly little shoulder straps... no yoke or bib, just ruffly straps that went over the shoulders and met the waistband in back, where it was tied in a big bow. Oh and yes it had little pockets just like that too.

Default Goodness me - LOL
Well, I immediately saw these dresses and was like:

Hellz yeah!

I download them. I go back to look at the dresses is post-download bliss and notice that your models are Sims 2 models. I look for the Sims 3 icon at the top and instead see said Sims 2. I freaked. With speed I didn't know I had, I deleted ALL the dresses

Too bad it's for sims 2. These dresses are really pretty! I remember a dress I had when I was younger, except I hated it. It was one of the ones with flowers inside the hem. Yep, I ended up falling off a bench in terror (long story >.<)

Back to the case, GREAT WORK! ;D

Ahahahaha! I can't tell you how many times I've done that myself
I'd just convert it to sims 3 but meshing for sims 3 is really hard and I have no idea how to retexture for the game so...
Sorry
