Sweet Fairy Princess Halloween Costume from Chasing Fireflies

My daughter loves to dress up.  If I told her we had to leave the house for a month and that she could take just one thing to play with, she would pick her favorite dress up costume.  Every month, when the Chasing Fireflies catalog comes in the mail, Madelyn sits down with Post-It notes and marks every page that has something on it that she wants.  By the time she’s reached the end of the catalog, she’s usually used a couple dozen Post-It notes.

Last week, Madelyn got to pick out a Halloween costume from the Chasing Fireflies catalog.  This was not an easy task, let me tell you.  We looked at this catalog during dinner, before homework, after homework, and in-between.  Finally, after about 6 hours of looking at the catalog she decided on the Sweet Fairy Princess costume.

This week, her Sweet Fairy Princess Halloween costume was delivered, and she would wear it 24/7 if I let her.  She loves it! She feels like a fairy-tale princess, she said.  I have been stuck in bed for the last week and a half due to surgery so my husband helped her put on her costume for the first time.  As he was helping her, he felt the need to remind Madelyn that just because she was going to look like a fairy princess, doesn’t mean she can act like a princess.  She looked confused by that statement.  Like she was thinking “whatever do you mean Daddy? I am a princess”.

The picture in the catalog doesn’t do the Sweet Fairy Princess costume justice.  I wasn’t expecting nearly the amount of detail as this costume has and as you can see in the photographs above.  The fabrics are perfectly delicate yet high quality and sturdy.  Madelyn is a sweet girl, which is why she chose the Sweet Fairy Princess costume I suppose.  This costume truly makes her personality shine.  Maybe wearing a princess costume is the key to making her act like a princess 24/7?  Hm.. I might have to try that.

Chasing Fireflies Halloween costumes make sure that your child is immersed in the character they are dressed up as.

Every snippet, thread, and ounce of their costumes encourages kids to be the character they are dressed up as whether they are a vampire, a princess, or a pirate.

Minky Princess Blanket and Car Seat Cover from Dressy Dribbles

Madelyn is a blankie lover.  She always has a blanket with her.  There are a few exceptions I suppose, but she's attached.   When I took Madelyn's minky Princess Blanket out of the package, the first thing she did was rub it on her face.  That's become a regular thing now.. when we're reading she holds the minky blanket on her face.  It's
adorable.  At night when
she's going to sleep she rubs the satin edges between her fingers.  Dressy Dribbles blankets and car seat covers are machine washable and available in several designs and colors.

Dressy Dribbles showed me that I don't have to settle for the standard gray cover that came with Madelyn's Britax toddler car seat.  Ugh.. how boring.  Now, Madelyn has the most beautiful car seat cover from Dressy Dribbles

Cupcake pettiskirt

Hoenshelcouture_skirt1 Madelyn LOVES her pettiskirt from Hoenshel Couture. Watching her walk around the house in her pettiskirt is the cutest thing.  I thought she might be bothered by all the fluff, but she loves it. She smiles so big when she runs her hands through her pettiskirt and spins around to see the ruffles go up and down.

The Cupcake pettiskirt is made of 50 yards of super soft fluff.  Think cloud..you know when your on an airplane and you fly through a cloud?  The pettiskirt fabric doesn’t irritate Madelyn’s sensitive baby skin,or snag on everything she walks by like some fabrics we’ve had experience with.

I can totally see Madelyn wearing her pettiskirt at Sebastian’s baseball game practice! How cute would that be?  This gorgeous petticoat ruffle skirt would work great for costume, photo portrait prop, birthdays, special event, pageant wear, sports wear or casual wear, or dress-up.

Your princess deserves her own pettiskirt from Hoenshel Couture.  Sizes range from newborn all the way up to size 10.  If only I could get away with wearing one of these!

If you aren’t thrilled about the colors of this pettiskirt, Jamie will work with you to design a custom 50 yard pettiskirt that has the colors that you or your child prefer.  I am really enjoying the Cupcake style because there are so many colors in it.. Madelyn can wear her pettiskirt with just about any color baby tee and she has lots of baby leggings that top of the look!

After Madelyn wore her pettiskirt in the yard last week, naturally it got a few specs of dirt on it and I freaked. Much to my surprise, it’s maching washable.  That’s the icing on top of the cupcake!!  Ha ha!
