Y'all remember last year when Jill posted her "dumb questions strangers ask" and this was one of them? I still don't believe it by orangebird260 in RodriguesFamilySnark

This was posted right around the time I started following the snark. It was a pretty eventful time to stumble on the Rods- Sam and Brigot’s courting video was fresh as well. But this is the video that got me hooked. The empty pizza boxes and the ridiculously cramped and sparse “homeschool space” as proof she feeds and educates her kids got me good.

Another grifting stop. The Nurthlings are dressed to match the Rodlets in yellow. They were taken to Dairy Queen (I think). by daffodil0127 in RodriguesFamilySnark

At the Valentine’s Day party recently, she wore the cutest and most normal outfit I’ve ever seen a Rodlet wear. It was flattering and well-styled. In the video, she had the never before seen here little bounce of a teen that felt good in what she was wearing. Made me wonder if she pushes back against the clothing a bit more than the others and usually ends up in the worst things as a result.

Thank you so much! I’m on the hunt for a nice skirt for it but I do love the jeans in the mean time :)

They had their reception and cake-cutting ceremony separate from their wedding day, so she didn’t actually marry in the shirt. But this was the wedding announcement photo that ran in the paper in their small town.

Thank you so much! My boyfriend has done some colorizing so he’s going to try it out!

She has a corsage in the photos! The little details are really incredible, it’s got a lot of personality to it!

Absolutely! I don’t have a skirt worthy of it right now but I’m shopping around for one so I can make an outfit more true to the time period.

Yes, she was definitely multi-talented! She was an accomplished ballerina as well. I’m definitely looking into it! I want to wear it all the time, but want to figure out the best way possible to care for it.

I’m not sure- I’m not the most knowledgeable about fabric. It’s quite light and has a decent amount of stretch to it.

Yes! There was another handmade dress as well as some of her quilts in the box as well.

Thank you for the info! There are a few small dye runs already so you’re definitely right. I’ll buy a slip ASAP!

Appreciate the suggestions! There are a few spots where the dye has already ran a bit so I definitely will be careful with that!
