I guess there are some things in life that you love so much, you just simply don’t want to share.  One time I was at a library and saw an awesome pearly white bag that was so eye catching.  I literally could not take my eyes off of it. One may call it, love at first sight.  I had to ask the owner of the bag where she had gotten the bag.  She was very hesitent at first and then told me she got it in Europe. When I asked for the brand, she said she didn’t know.  I just came to accept that I would never ever come in contact with that bag EVER again.  Then 1 month down the line, I was at a Bloomingdales, and saw that same exact bag AGAIN!

The brand?  Drum Roll Please…Marc Jacobs.  From what I know (I’m pretty educated on designers), he is an American Designer, right out of of NYC.  What’s even more important is that if you purchase a Marc Jacobs, you know you’re getting a Marc Jacobs.  Granted the lady could have purchased the bag in Europe.  I’m sure his goods are sold internationally, but to not know the label?  That is very questionnable, especially when you are putting down good money, usually in the thousands, to have one of his bags.  So I came to the conclusion, she wanted the bag for herself and did not want to share any real pertinent information with me.

When I came across the next company and the gorgeous dresses, I did have a millisecond of, I don’t want to tell anyone about it.  But after that initial thought, I wanted to tell the whole world about it!  These dresses are absolutely beautiful, gorgeous, and dreamy for your little princesses.  And no, I did not find it in some remote area of the Saudi Desert, and yes, I do know the name of the brand.  The company is appropriately named Fairytale Fashion.  The dresses live up to its name.  I can only say that when my daughter laid eyes on the Ballgown Princess Pinafore dress, it was love at first sight.  She was non-stop thanking me and said, “Mommy. I am so beautiful, just like Princess Ariel.” She didn’t know what to do with herself. Anyone that knows my daughter knows that she wants to be a “princess” when she grows up, so words could not describe her excitement.

Ballgown Princess Pinafore

What makes this dress different than all the other dress-up dresses out there?  First of all, the exceptional craftmanship, attention to detail, and with one look, it brings out the princess in me.  Yes, I am in my thirties, and if it were to come in my size, I would own one too.  One thing I absolutely love about this dress is that it grows with your child.  The velcro bodice adjusts to your child’s size (ages 3-8 years old), so she can wear it for years to come.  It’s definitely worth $85. We have a Disney Deluxe dress that we purchased for $100+ and she only got to wear it a couple times before she outgrew it.  Just go on Ebay, and you will see a good amount of dresses, from the Disney store, that parents are selling because it no longer fits their child.  With this dress, you definitely get more than what you pay for. 

Please make note that there a lot of copies out there and these dresses are the original.  The difference? Quality.  I associate princess with luxury, regalness, and royalty.  Fairytale Fashion live up to those expectations.  Nothing short of excellence.  No imitations allowed here!

Note: My daughter wore the Ballgown Pinafore Dress on Halloween (pictured above) and all the moms went crazy over the dress.  She also had a beautiful matching crown (adjustable to her head size) and a wand, which were also from Fairytale Fashion.  I kept hearing the words gorgeous, beautiful, and wow. All the mothers, grandmothers, and passerbys asked me where I got the dress and told me that my little princess looked amazingly gorgeous.  Of course, it brought smiles to my face.

A little bit about the owner and Fairtytale Fashion:
She started this line because she was childlesss and wanted to be a beloved Aunt to the little girls in her life. As a child, she loved fantasy.  She used those imageries in her art career, as a painter and printmaker.  Her product won numerous awards and was featured on HGTV in 2006 on their “Best of Toyfair” TV Show.  Some of her star buyers include Nicole Kidman and Maria Shriver. Impressive!
