My mom bought me a white dress,
Not red or pink or blue. She said it was a special dress Like very other few. There has been just one before, A dress now put away, That I wore some time ago Upon my blessing day. As a little baby clothed In my first white dress, My dad held me in his arms, There to name and bless. So pure and clean was I just then, With time to grow and learn. About the Father's plan for me My glory I must earn. Now I've reached the age to judge The wrong road from the right, And I am here to be baptized In this dress of white. So once again I'm free from sin. The path is clear to me. I'll grasp the rod and hold on tight, I vow with certainty. Just as mud would stain my dress, Sin would stain my soul. The key is to repent or bleach, For whiteness is my goal. And if I try my very best, Then richly blessed I'll be Wearing inside God's holy house White dress number three So today I make this pledge; I'll strive to choose the right, Through this sacred baptism ordinance In my second dress of white Linda Gay Perry Nelson
About a month before the wedding I thought about adding 'My Three Dresses' to the decor. I have Camrie's dresses so I would technically be FREE. I struggled with the display and originally thought of getting a small dress form for her baptism dress (which I could not find) and didn't know how to hang up her blessing dress. After lots of browsing and thinking, I presented it to my mother-in-law. She reminded me of my Camrie doll. My great aunt made me this porcelain doll 18 years ago. I immediately tried the dress on the doll thinking it would be too small but it fit perfectly. Then the plan came into motion.
I really love the 'three dresses'. They are not displayed at weddings and the other dresses are just as important as the wedding dress that is so focused on at weddings.
