Girls in Corduroy

8/17/2017

Thought I'd post a few pictures of my Kaye Wiggs girls in their new corduroy dresses. Their dresses are made from toddler dresses, and are actually one piece, imitating the look of a jumper over a white blouse.  The dresses have been finished for a while, but things being what they were, and all the stress related to endless doctor visits, pretty much zapped me of any creativity.  

Yesterday I finally got some good news, so I thought today I'd finally be able to take some fun photos of the three girls.  But then all the Weebly problems hit the fan, and I've been dealing with those ever since.   My son is going to look at the problems and try to fix some of the things, but it's starting to look like I may have to go solo and start a whole new website. Which just seems too overwhelming right now, as there's 8 years of work here that will need to be transferred.  Sigh.

So, in the meantime here's my three girls in their new dresses.....

Beautiful Hope.....

...and adorable Layla....

I've accidentally discovered how to make the photos the right colour!  When I first posted the photos above, I was struck that the photo of Hope was the correct colour, and was showing up bigger than usual, while the photo of Layla was the same dull of all the vertical images lately, and was showing up smaller.

So I went and checked the file size, and it turns out that I accidentally made the web size image of Hope in a larger size than usual - 600 pixels wide instead of the usual 500. So I made a 'regular' smaller version of Hope, and it showed up dull too.  Then I made a bigger version of Layla, and it came out the right colour.  So maybe the problem has been that the images were not BIG enough!

​So maybe that's the solution!   I guess we really do learn from our "mistakes"!!
​

And I'm sure no one is going to complain about BIGGER pictures!

The dresses are cute and i'm very happy, you've found the reason for the dull colors.
I really hope, you can fix the problems with your site too. I keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks! My son is working on it, and I'm hoping he can figure it all out, because I'd really miss being able to post all my photos on my own website, as opposed to just the few on Facebook.

I love the bigger photos.....thank you. And lucky girls getting new dresses ready for autumn.

Sorry to hear about endless doctor visits you have had to endure though.
