dresses



i've mentioned sophie's love of dresses and tights lately.

last thursday, we finally pulled out "the dress" - gorgeous deep blue velvet with rosette's on the bodice dress her Grandma H gave her a couple of years ago. she got it at the Bay dept store, on sale - something for sophie to grow into. it's from this company (good quality Canadian brand).

it's very beautiful. almost too tight on sophie, but she wore it with pride.
completely over the top dress to send a child to daycare in, but we did it anyway.

on friday night we went back to the Bay and found a killer deal - 5.99 for a dress made of velvet (bodice) with a coffee coloured silk feel bottom. she wants to wear it on Monday to daycare. again, over the top, but what the heck.

here's a photo of the deep blue velvet dress.

How sweet. Is there a big sale at the Bay? I need to get there! I love the Bay! Great deal! There's nothing wrong with wearing a party dress to daycare :)

She is totally adorable!
Thanks for the heads up on a good quality canadian kids clothing line. I'm tired already of having clothes shrink and fade so quickly!
