The Dress That Started It All Part 3

How it all started

Part 3

The dresses inspired me to do princess tea parties. (see photos of dresses in part 1 and 2) I would need quite a few of these dresses.  I tired to find the supplier and spent days searching on Google, typing in the name on the label.  I could not find it.  Winners often carried discontinued items, so these princess dresses may be all there was.  The company may have closed their business.  I went back to Winners.  This time I bought another princess dress from another label.  The Medieval Princess Dress.  Here is Rosie modeling it.

I went home and Googled it and found the company "Little Adventures". After much research, I discovered that not all princess dresses were equal.  Some licensed princess dresses may look beautiful but the stiff fabric and itchy trim made the dress very uncomfortable to wear.  Some fell apart after a wash  Some you couldn't even wash.  
After examining many princess dresses, I soon realized what an exceptional product "Little Adventures" made. Comfortable, washable, affordable and adorable.  No scratchy fabrics or itchy trims.  No zippers, buttons, snaps, ties, of Velcro to fiddle with.  Easy to put on and easy to take off.  The stretchy bodice accommodates many body types.  These dresses are super comfortable and there's room to move.  I decided "This is the line I am going to carry in my store".  

We all like to feel like a Princess

Vineman Ironman

Courtney at the Vineman Ironman 2010

What girl doesn’t like being treated like a princess.  I know a woman who runs marathons. She just recently completed the Vineman  Ironman in California which consisted of swimming 3.86km, cycling 180km and then running a full marathon of 42.2km, all back to back all in the same day! She was treated to a manicure and pedicure and commented on how this makes a girl feel so good.

I know another woman who does construction.  I’m talking framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, flooring…the works. When she showers off all the plaster dust …puts on a dress and some make-up… she loves the double takes she gets from her favourite man.

Two women who aren’t your typical princess type tells me that all girls enjoy being treated like a princess and feeling like a princess.

Girls love dressing up like a princess


Every little girl who is transformed into a princess at our parties is just thrilled. The expressions on their little faces are priceless.  It truly is a magical moment that I am pleased to be a part of.

Princess Tea Party Event

Girl and glass slipper

This past weekend, we did a Princess Tea Party Event at a local indoor playground.  Parents pre-registered their daughter(s) for the event.  There were 20 girls in all, ranging from 2 years old to 6 years old.  Just the right number of girls for the double size party room.  On hand for the princess transformation were the Fairy Godmother, Snow White and the Grand Duke.  From youngest to oldest, the girls took turns choosing their princess dress.  Recognizable Disney Princess dresses were the first to go.  Then anything pink with flowers attached to it.  Can you guess which dress was the first to fly off the rack?  Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. It’s a Disney Princess and it’s pink.  The mommies did not want to miss out on all the fun.  But the Fairy Godmother had to scoot them out of the room.  With so many people in the room it was getting crowded and hot!  The Fairy Godmother had to promise them that they could have their own tea party another day but for now  they’ll just have to watch all the fun from the windows.

With everyone in their princess dresses, it was time for tiaras. make-up and pixie dust. Next was a princess singing lesson with Snow White.  Everyone sang so lovely….just like a real princess!  Then it was time to learn how to befriend little animals.  As you know princesses have a way with little animals.  Mice will help sew dresses and bunnies will help clean so it’s important to know how to talk to them. Next a lesson on how to walk elegantly in your princess dress before the fashion show parade.  Snow White led the way out to the main area.  The parents pulled out their camera phones and snapped away.

Then it was back to the party room for a short etiquette lesson before we sit down for tea.  On the menu, fruit, tea sandwiches, cookies and apple juice (our version of  tea).  Each table took their turn to get picture taken by Cinderella’s carriage.  Each girl sat on a chair in front of Cinderella’s carriage and the Grand Duke let them try on Cinderella’s glass slipper.  A photo in front of the carriage and a photo inside the carriage.

When the clock struck midnight it was time to change back to their regular selves.  A magical time was had by all.

birthday parties for kids

Girls all dressed up at a princess party

The transformation of 10 little girls into princesses was magical at Rosie's birthday party.  It is always the highlight of the princess parties.  The girls express their delight in different ways.  Some smile from ear to ear.  Some are in quiet awe.  Some love twirling in their dresses.  Some can’t stop looking at themselves in the mirror.  Some go into full character of the princess whose dress they are wearing.  They all feel very special.  I always ask all the girls who their favourite princess is.  I get a lot of Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella…but at this party, one girl said Jasmine.  I rarely hear this one.  I ask the girl why Jasmine was her favourite.  She said “…because she skates really good”  “She skates?” I asked? I don’t remember Jasmine skating in the movie Aladdin.  Another girl explained… “She skates in Disney Princess on Ice”  Of course!  I regret I did not have a Jasmine costume on hand.  Jasmine does not have a princess gown… she has pants.  I will definitely have a Jasmine costume for my next party.

Snow White's dog Princess came for a visit

There were lots of giggles when we brought out some of Snow White’s forest friends.  Snow White says “A real princess loves animals and the animals love her”  She showed the princesses in training how to give nuzzles to Bun Buns the rabbit.  Next is Gus Gus the mouse.  We pat him gently on the head.  Then Snow White’s own puppy  “Princess” came out to give everyone kisses.

Having a great time!

We asked Rosie what was her favourite part of the party. She said “when the Grand Duke presented her with her tiara at the princess graduation ceremony”   That was definitely an awesome moment
