When I was a little girl, my mom made most of my clothes, or at least most of my dresses. In this photo on the left, I'm wearing a little eyelet pinafore-style dress she made, and it was taken when I was about five years old. (Note the matching homemade bow in my hair.) 
What do you think... does she look like me?
We have the dress now and Kathryn says she wants to keep it so her daughter can wear it someday. I don't know if it'll hold up so well for another thirty years, but wouldn't it be amazing to have photos of three generations of girls all in the same dress, handmade by the generation before that?

That is so special! You even have the same hairstyle. I have a lot of my old baby clothes and I plan on doing this same thing, pending their quality...haha.
Wow such a classy timeless look. You two do look a lot alike.
That is precious! I would have thought they were both pictures of her as well. The resemblance is amazing. And beautiful dress. Definately keep it for a future granddaughter.
How precious is that?!?! She is absolutely beautiful and she does look a lot like you.
Such a beautiful dress...and beautiful girls. I would have thought both pictures were the same girl.
Now that just sweet!
Awwww! Adorable. That is so neat. I wish I had done something like that!
How awesome!
As far as I know, Mom didn't save any of my outfits. None of my girls look like me anyway ...
You definitely need to display these pictures together!
Wow, you do look alike. How sweet! Very precious that you still have the dress!!
That dress has a timeless look to it - it would look cute on your grand daughter some day. She really does look like you!
Hi Jamie! This is so precious! Yes, your daughter looks just like you! And the little dress is just darling. What a precious thing to do!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
What precious pictures to have!
I wish I would have saved one of my dresses. Precious!
AAAWW! So precious! She does look like you! :)
what a great idea! wow your mom can sew! have you thought about preserving the dress, like one does with a wedding gown? it may hold up another 30 years in that state.
hth
This is so precious. I'm glad I was surfing around and came back over here to your blog and discovered it. You sure do look alike - both darling little girls.
Wow! It's amazing how similar you look!! Very cute!
