Like mother, like daughter

Eleven years ago, Lexi Donelson wore a turquoise gown to prom with her high school sweetheart, Dewey. After holding on to it for more than a decade, she finally found another use for her favorite dress – her daughter's school dance🥰. 

👗 Full-circle: Lexi and Dewey were married four years after their prom night, and now have a five-year-old daughter named Sterling.

• When it came time for Sterling to go to her first school dance, Lexi broke out the sewing machine to alter her prom dress for the kindergartener. 
• “When I first told Sterling, before it was altered, ‘This is going to be your dress now,’ she was really confused," Lexi shared with GNN. “But she was so excited once we started cutting and sewing. When she tried it on, she didn’t want to take it off. It looked adorable on her!”
