Looked a right bloody state in that. Stacey ought to be ashamed of herself. Even Phil went to the effort of sorting Lexi out, and probably ensuring she'd clearly been doing a good couple of hours practise every night for the last week or so. Lily put no effort into that whatsoever.

I don't know how Lily will be able to show her face in the community centre again, after turning up like that.

Thanks.

She's a sweet little girl but sadly the skirt of her dress looked a bit of a state.

Are you surprised? Her mother is wired to a mars bar and her father is on the run from the filth, oh and her grandmother is waiting for the men in white coats like her daughter.

You grow up, it was a joke. I suffer a severe form of depression myself so I do know what it's like. J-B is a joker, and has a sense of humour so why don't you try to develop one. I can take people taking the piss out of me as can Stephen Fry who is a sandwich short of a picnic himself. I can take it serious but I can also laugh at the ludicrousness of it

Well judging by that reaction, it seems you were having a tantrum like some spoilt child, i mean did me or any others who would off tuck offense to that childish comment know just by eyeing that comment that you suffer from a illness? the answer is no because we aint mind readers but nice try attempting to make me look like the bad guy, alright little guy.

Big guy, not little guy you see how easy it is to offend if you are looking to be offended. People on here need to take a chill pill here or there my medication is at least effective.

The dress was not the best, but that was not Lily's fault, & neither is the lack of dance practice. Most kids need to be reminded by a parent to practice. I thought it was unfair, that Phil paid a pro, to make Lexis dress, if the rules were it was to be a home made dress.

Look I wasn't looking to offend, perhaps it's my warped sense of humour, if we take ourselves too seriously and don't laugh then the whole world will be depressed and believe me I wish that on no-one. I have stood on the top of a railway bridge and considered jumping, I know what depression does to you that's why I would rather laugh. I meant it to be funny and for people not to take it seriously. I have moments when I am barking mad myself, you have to laugh at the oddnesses if you don't you'll get worse

If I was Whitney I would tell Lily she isn't welcome at the community centre any more. There's a certain standard to be maintained.

I agree. Typical Phil... Little Lexi did look very sweet, though.

Things like that have always happened though, i remember even when i was at school many decades ago some kids would turn up to fancy dress competitions in professionally made up outfits where as the kids that had done it themselves or with just a little help from their parents (as you were supposed to do) looked amateur, a bit crap and never won anything even though they'd put the effort in.

One guess which i was? One of the ones that had come up with the idea and done most of the work myself.

Lilly looked fine but obviously not as good as the kids whose parents had slaved over their outfits for ages or got them done professionally. That, sadly is life.

As an aside, shouldn't Lily be at proper school by now - she turned 5 a few weeks ago didn't she? Or will she start in September? It seemed odd that they had such a disparity of ages in that recital.

The Philth always has to lie and cheat to get what he wants even if it is something as harmless as a child's dress.

The man is scum.

I was more surprised they gave the parents a pattern and expected them to make the costume!! Is this common practice? If so I'm going to lose it when my kids start school! I have no sewing machine, no sewing skills & no money to get it done pro!!

I know it was only there to serve the purpose of providing a trigger for Stacey's outburst but it was so stupid. As if parents would be given a pattern and have to make their kids' dresses. And even if they did as if they would all look so identical (bar Lily's). Silly.

My niece was in a dance class from the age of 3 and you could either take the pattern and make the outfit/get the outfit made (and it told you what material to buy and from where to make sure they matched) or you could give the class the child's measurements and pay £20-50 (depending on the costume and child's age) and one of the mum's used to make them up as a job lot.

I took it that Lily and Lexi were in this sort of class at the Community centre. From watching my niece's recitals for 10 years, I thought Lily didn't want to be in the show as (a) she was aware that her outfit was wrong and (b) she was embarrassed by Stacey.

What I noticed as well is that Lexi's "professional" dress was also not on the pattern.

It was when my daughter was young (many moons ago), and I had to make 2 or 3 costumes for big shows. I could sew and would end up making the costumes for friend's children too.

Yesn it was the same when i was young. Both dance recitals and the uniform for the Orchestra I was in as a teenager, you couldn't buy the outfits ready made anywhere, they had be made from a pattern from material bought at a specific place.

But then of course, back in the 70s/80s most adult women had been taught to sow properly at School. Certainly my Grandmother never bought anything ready made for her or my Mum, she made everything herself. Unless you were very rich, you didn't have a choice, especially during the Depression and then Rationing. Obviously that was Grandparents rather than parents age (for people of $y generation) but they'd passed the skill set onto their daughters, plus of course taught at School as I mentioned earlier.

Home Economics and Needlework was very much being phased out even when i went through School, only one hour a week for half the year for the first 2 years of secondary school.

I never learnt to sew or cook at school, nor could my mother do either, although she would knit non stop. They were things I taught myself after I married...the 70s was very much a 'do-it-yourself' decade. Growing your own vegetables, making your own clothes, homemade cooking etc. Blame 'The Good Life'
