Girls in a whirl...

By Wendy Donahue

"For those who might want the loft without the froth, TwirlyGirl mixed-print reversible dresses ($70 at twirlygirlshop.com)
put a colorfully folksy spin on the circular logic. Marguerite Gaul in
Wheaton, Ill., bought a purple TwirlyGirl dress for her 3-year-old
daughter, who calls it her "twirly-whirl dress" and wears it every
chance she gets (including to bed). Extending the appeal are
coordinated leggings and T's, roomy cuts that will fit up to a size 9
and the option of custom-ordering the prints."
