Mother's 80's Dress Gone Modern

This is my favorite dress for so many reasons. My mom wore it when she met my dad on the 80's. I love the yellow color, also! It makes me feel outgoing and confident. I like the fact that it is so unique and that nobody can get one just like it, that's definitely a plus!

ILY!!

1983 called. they want their dress back... and their sunglassess too

thanks for telling me...I'll answer the phone :)

Hey, I tried to call you but phone is busy. Call Aunt Tammy.

i have a crazy obsession with yellow. it is quite possibly the best summer color ever. not too girly, just right. well done!

I see the same dress and pumps that scream 80's...but nothing about it seems modern? Please explain how this is a fresh take on a dress from 20 years ago?

You look adorable and your description is fab!

thanks for asking bluefeevah :) when i first put the dress on, it was pretty long...almost to my ankles, so my mom and i hemmed up the skirt a lot to make the dress seem more fun and modern :)

That was a good answer you rock girl!!

Good morning! Papa is here and we wanted to say you are doing great! Tell your mom to check her e-mail or e-mail me. Love you, Aunt Tammy

BLA BLA BLABLABAL and i mean it LOL

NIce! :) didnt mean for it to see so rude. It looks good on you. You hjave a model's figure.

thank you bluefeevah! i didn't take it as being rude...i like that u asked :)

pffft YOU'RE doing so well! and i love that it is your moms dress :)

by any chance are you related to Barry, Liz, Marty and Keith? Sorry...I just don't see too many Duckworths out there

ha! thats funny....i have been asked that by a former teacher, actually. I don't think i'm related to any of those people. but then again who knows? maybe i am :)

I think that wearing your Mom's dress from the 80's is wonderful, shows how much you love your mom. It looks just gorgeous on you, you are one classy chick

I'll keep on voting so you can go to the BIG APPLE and become famous. You're just as cute and pretty as all the "tweens" on TV now. Prettier!

Wow girl, you came out of nowhere and stole the show! Good luck fellow semi-finalist! Your dress is nice and I love the pose too :-)

She sure did!

Good luck to the both of you!

Hey girl, Aunt Tammy - went to the beach and just got back------hundreds of jellyfish in the water but none had tentacles and it was hot so we swam with them! I have all of my teacher friends voting for you. It is tough to compete with my space and other web sites, but you are number one to me and have done awesome considering you are not doing it that way. Love ya!

Hey Aunt Tammy! Those jellyfish are insane!!!! Thanks for getting your friends to vote for me. How was Cody on the news?? We expect to see him on National TV one day lol. Nothing much is happening here...I go to the doctor Monday for the MRI results...oh and I got something from the modeling place in London!...very cool! So tell us how you guys are doing. Can't Wait to see you! Have one of Papa's cheesburgers for me! :) w/ <3, Courtney

you're aunt told me about your juvenile diabetes. i cant believe you have to give yourself shots everyday! how many do you have to give? anyways, you are an inspiration! you go girl!

Hey Court,

London! so cool, I just got back from signing Cody up for soccer and we are going to Papa and Grandmas this afternoon. Marla,Allen and Kallen are down here and Cody is dying to go and see them. He leaves to go to Camp of the Pines in Pensacola tomorrow. They have waterslides, archery, riflerly, canoeing, and bible studies there. I will be lost without him next week (boo hoo) my baby is growing up. You keep your chin up, u r doing great!

thank you aunt tammy! i really don't mind the comment ccaldero made...i want people to know! and ccaldero-thank you! i take around 6 shots a day...it depends on my blood sugars and my carbohydrate intake

Good luck - you look great.

Still voting for the prettiest girl and cutest outfit! Has anyone thought that you should win because you're doing the "green thing", and giving an older dress a new life instead of throwing it away? Hey Tammy, girl you'd beter cut that cord and let that boy go to camp Ha Ha.

My sister wore that dress the very night she met her husband - cool huh? They just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversay so the dress is at least 21 years old. I remember it, though it was longer at the time. Girl, that boy got there and was so excited running around with his friends that I got my feelings hurt big time. I am losing my baby!

Court, are ya'll getting your suitcases packed? Think about if we want to rent jet skis or what special something you and Brooke want to do when you get down here. How is the weather there? I keep trying to get you votes, but one girl seems to get 500 all at the same time every night - wish we were that lucky (ha ha)

lol yea, its like magic! but whatever, if someone wants to do that then it is their choice and will be on their concience. We haven't started to pack, but we will soon. the weather has been CRAZY!!! we have had thunderstorms the last few nights and last night we had hail w/ it....just really bizarre.

You are the bomb! It does seem very strange to me how in the world carolinephoto can get 500 votes in seconds. There is no way that that many people are all on the computer at the same time. No way whatsoever. Something just does not make any sense.

WOW, just a couple of days ago some real famous people got online and voted for the girl that is currently in first place. They must not have had anything else to do.

Great dress and shoes. Yellow is always a good choice for spring/summer. I gave it 3 hearts.

Does that other girl have people making up addresses? All those famous names just popped up at once and that cannot real. Did anyone else notice that? Anyway, you deserve to win and I hope you do.

I think it is pretty obvious that she did. The other contestants never had a fair chance. She is probably in with Kaboodle and they just wanted email addresses.

jduckworth - good try pretty girl! You and the other 18 deserve a round of applause.

If all kaboodle wanted was a bunch of email addresses, the've got to know that most of us don't agree with that sort of thing and will remove any email contact with kaboodle after this contest. It is a bit "fishy" how this girl has all these votes pop up. Oh well, they should have had rules to prevent something like this. Jduckworth, YOU deserve to win because you put a lot of thought into your entry. It's the going thing to be "green" and revamp an older outfit.

Kaboodle verifies ALL email addresses which means that the made up ones will not count. Don't fret.....you still have a very good chance!
This contest has gotten a bit ugly & that's to bad. I stopped looking at my votes because I thought it was getting a bit out of hand.
You're a doll. Good luck!

thank you ericajensen...it has gotten out of hand! i stopped looking, too. u seem like a really great, honest person!

Wow! you have changed. Good luck! Love Abi x x x

GOOD LUCK PRETTY GIRL! I AM DRIVING TO PENSACOLA TO PICK CODY UP TODAY AND WILL NOT BE ONLINE.. HOPE YOU HAVE A SAFE FLIGHT AND CANNOT WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE! I LOVE YOU!:)
