Irish Dancing Dresses and Cousins
We had some tired and grumpy kids following a late night at the GB Display, and losing an hour as the clocks changed forward to British Summer Time. However, we still had a very enjoyable afternoon with my brother-in-law, wife and 2 daughters today.
Both their lovely curly haired daughters learn Irish dancing, and today their mum was sewing on the freshly starched lace collar and cuffs to one of their dancing dresses. The dress was made and hand embroidered by their grandmother. Of course I could not resist taking some photographs to share with my blogging friends!
Here are the two nieces, who obligingly let me photograph them before we left.
That’s all for today. Hope you come back tomorrow for more.
I love the curly hair they have with Irish Dancing. I also love watching the dance.
I love the Irish Dancing and wish I knew how to do it. My daughter took me a number of years ago to see Michael Flatleys Lord of the Dance, awesome performance.
Such cuties! I’m fascinated with the Irish step dancing! My little girls love watching it on tv too, so maybe when they are a bit older we’ll let them try a class. 🙂
The dress must be LOVELY – and a treasure by which they will remember their Grandmother.
Wonderful photos – all that curly hair, and sweet freckles too.
Oh how gorgeous! I love Irish dancing.
I love Irish dancing (I’m a HUGE Riverdance fan) and I bet the girls are so cute in their beautiful dresses and curly hair! So special that they were embroidered by their grandma too! Love it!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing with us!
The dress is gorgeous, and these nieces of yours are absolutely adorable!! I would just love to see young kids learning Irish dancing. A young man we know here has studied it for years, and even travelled to Ireland and won many awards!! I’ve seen him perform…and it is amazing!
They are so cute! Love their curly hair
Have a wonderful week
Beautiful dresses and the girls are lovely. I remember taking Irish dancing when I was young but I was awful at it. Must be something to do with my poker straight hair:)
oh look at those innocent smile and the angelic curly hair!
Riverdance was one of the best shows I have ever seen – I’ve seen it twice and I’d go again in a heartbeat! I think Irish dancing is fascinating.
LOVE THEIR CURLS!
So sweet! The embroidery on the dress is gorgeous!
That dress is beautiful. As are your nieces!
What gorgeous embroidery! I took a semester of Irish dance in college and loved it.
The girls are beautiful. It would’ve been nice to see them in the outfits. My cousins do irish dancing too.
I love everything about irish dancing, the hair, the beautiful costumes and of course the dancing lol
