What to do when your daughter is wearing a an extremely famous dress for Halloween?
November 03, 2008
Take lots of pictures!
The dress came in the mail at 3 pm Halloween afternoon, and that was the end of being a Witch for the night! I actually video taped her opening the box…and Oh! The dramatic response when she saw what it was. What an amazing dress!
As we were putting the dress on, Ian ran back to his room, grabbed his “prince” crown and his blanket for me to tie up as a cape. He immediately bowed to Addie and asked for the next dance. He is such a romantic…and well, it doesn’t help that he has an Anne of Green Gables for a sister. And…well, I am not much better. I wonder where he gets it from!
This dress is a dream, and Addie is in heaven wearing it. We wore it trick or treating and let me tell you the comments we got! She was quite the featured trick-or-treater. (We only went to maybe 8 doors and took our time going door to door. They will get older one day and figure out faster walking = more candy) We ended up carrying her up each door step making sure she wouldn’t step on this masterpiece. And that is what it is. A masterpiece.
I still feel a little guilty for having such an amazing dress..and so popular at that! I am just tickled to see how regal Addie becomes when she wears it. Her manners are perfect, and she becomes royalty. And in response, Ian becomes royalty too. We are already planning a party around this dress! And oh, what a ball it will be.

Wow! She is already gorgeous and the dress is already gorgeous! Lots of super gorgeousness going on!!!
And to think, I got to be part of this little party going on… thanks! I can’t wait to see the party centered around the dress and its wearer. I got to say that is so cool she is wearing the uber famous Grosgrain dress!!!
It’s STUNNING!! What little girl wouldn’t LOVE a dress like that!?
What an elegant little lady! So glad the dress reached you in time!
Isn’t that every girl’s (and woman’s) dream? She is lovely!
absolutely beautiful – both the dress and your daughter!
What a treat for your little girl! The dress is TDF and I hope she gets to play dress up with it a lot!
it’s incredible! she looks amazing in it, and she sounds like the perfect little winner. she appreciates it!
I’ve been a reader of your blog since you started bloging – and not only do I love your art, I love the childhood you create for Addie and Ian. It seems simple, yet so rich and so full of life rather than full of silly material things. I hope one day my husband and I will do the same with our children – and I file away your ideas like have them make ‘dinner’ to keep them busy, replicate pillows you see in catalogs and build forts on a rainy day. I am so happy you won this dress – I think your family is the perfect, gracious recipient fo such a splendid creation. I am sure Addie will treasure it for years to come! And I can’t wait for you to share photos of the dress-themed party! Thanks for sharing your family and smart ideas with us, along with your lovely art.
That is just fabulous. I love the pictures of Ian bowing. Congrats, Addie!
Oh she looks just adorable in that costume. I am sure the costume will be used and treasured for years to come. Oh, by the way she does sort of look a little like a young Megan Follows. I loved those movies growing up too. They were the best.
These are fantastic photos – what fun
How fun!

I’m just glad that our doorbell is featured on your blog. I feel so famous. By the way she did look super cute, and I do have to say that Ian was just as cute in his bat costume.
6 degrees of separation — I am a sort of relative of your neighbor, Chandi. She saw that I entered the giveaway for the dress and told me you won it. You are one lucky gal! The dress is so stunning. So. Stunning.
I love that your little girl fits the part so well — congratulations!
