As young girls in Missouri, we talked for hours about the things we would do together when we got older—including having regular play dates with our kids and starting a wedding business or flower shop.

As we got older, we realized that it would be hard to run a business together as we began to spread across the country. But we still wanted to share our ideas and talents to bless others and have a blast collaborating together.

So This Blue Dress was born.

So what’s so special about a blue dress that we’d name a blog after it?

 In our parent’s garage, there was a clothing rack with more than twenty beautiful, formal dresses that we sisters have worn for various events over the years. In the midst of the organza and tulle, there was a certain blue dress. Our oldest sister Maegan chose this gorgeous blue dress for a much-anticipated Junior prom. A few years later, Mariah decided to wear it to one of her formal dances. And so it went; the dress would be donned for a night of dancing and fun and then stored for a few years until the next sister was ready to wear it.

There are enough years between all of us that we didn’t share everything, but one of the things that spanned our age gap and connected us was this blue dress. We are super excited to have another thing that connects us all now: this blog!

**Our cute youngest sister, Madison, didn’t wear the dress, but she shared another gorgeous blue dress with our lovely sister-in-law, Tara! And Momma Crouch has since joined the blog, and guess who helped pick out and purchase the original This Blue Dress!
