I love that!!!<br /> I have a thing for sibling names that go together in some way, but aren't too matchy- matchy. (Like the sisters I used to know named Plum and Tangerine, or kids from my high-school who were George, Abe, and Betsy, or the names I have picked out for future cats I will have- Olive and Hazel, or Scott and Zelda).<br /> Can't wait to see the dress on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sister-arrives-today-dresses-arrived-yesterday#post-2203493 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 19:53:51 +0000 Debbie 2203493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That will be so much fun.
