Gather Round Sista's...

and Show Me Where Your Waist Is.

I made these aprons for the girls for Mother's Day. A simple request sparked quite a conversation. "Now all you guys put your aprons on and let me take a picture."

Apparently the current generation feels like their waist is actually closer to their hips.

Me: They need to be tied at your waist.

Girls: This is our waist.

Me: No, it isn't.

Girls: Yes, it is.

Me: No, it isn't.

Girls: Where do you think our waist is?
Me: Find your belly button and go 2 inches above that.

Girls: Ewwwe. No. That's way too high.

Me: Well that's where your waist is.

Girls: Waists have moved.

If I'm lying I'm dying. That was the actual conversation. (Minus Kara who supplied her picture to me from San Diego and missed out on the actual conversation but confirmed the other sista's opinions by her own apron placement.)

Silly girls, the waist hasn't moved, you've just been hanging your pants too low. See model below for correct vintage apron placement:

Notice how the waistband is closer to the bend of the elbows?

Another waistline-measuring-how-to I read this morning suggest leaning to the right, to the left, and front and where your body bends is your waistline.

Despite their waist adversions, I am so incredibly proud of all four of these girls. Watching all of them balance the demands of home, school, work, church, and family responsibilities is inspiring. I am honored to be their mother.
