fairies

Recently we found ourselves in a Disney store. A rare occasion. It reeked of plastic and dust, a giant monitor blaring Disney commercials so loud I wanted to walk right back out. But Greta likes to check out the princess gear from time to time, so we shopped. This day she found these synthetic from head to toe fairies that were actually kind of cute, a little risque, but cute.



Once home, Greta suggested ( before I could) that we make new dresses. A perfect opportunity to soften them up a bit and add some cotton and wool, and to give them a more modest look. We cut up old tights and an old pair of her pants and fashioned new, comfortable, and easy to fly in gowns. Much better.
