巧手妈妈和女儿

The dresses worn by the stars at the Oscars surely have to be the most fairy tale-like frocks in the world...
奥斯卡红毯上的女性着装无疑是世界上最童话般的礼服。

Every little girl - and many a grown woman - dreams of wearing such glamorous gowns. But few of us ever get close to such glitz in real life.
每一个小女孩,甚至每一位成年女性都渴望穿上这些迷人的礼服,但是现实生活中却鲜有机会穿得如此夺目。

So imagine the fun of making your own Oscar dresses at home. One mother recently became an internet star after photographing her five-year-old daughter in copies of red carpet dresses, made with crepe paper and glitter glue.
所以想象一下自己在家制作奥斯卡礼服的乐趣吧。一位妈妈将她用皱纸和闪光胶水为女儿制作的纸裙拍照上传,由此成为网络明星。
