Meet my twirly girl

Is that a happy kid, or what? My daughter loves her new Wings of Wonder dress from Twirly Girl. This clever, comfy little dress has a filmy, wing-shaped cape on the back (see picture below, and more at the link). We can let the cape float in the breeze or secure it to my daughter's wrist with attached elastic bands.

As soon as she saw this dress, Jo wanted to try it on. Once she did, she immediately became first a superhero and then a butterfly. She's worn it several times and it definitely gets attention (so much so that I don't usually allow her to wear it to school, for fear of distracting the other kids! I made an exception on her birthday).

I love that this dress sparks imagination and encourages my daughter to run and dance -- it works best in motion! It costs $50, a lot for a little girl's dress, but you buy a bit of peace of mind--everything, including the fabric itself, is made in the U.S.A.
