The Princess Effect

“I LIKE IT! IT’S PRETTY!” These were the exact words from our daughter when we pulled out the dress for her to put on. The Turtleneck African Print Dress for Girls from the ELLA Collection was MAGNIFICENT! An instant head turner with its vibrant, eye catching colors and tulle underskirt. The underskirt not only made it stay flared out throughout the celebration, it also aided the dress in being less likely to wrinkle as our daughter played throughout the afternoon. The glittery gold belt made was a statement piece that everyone continued to zoom in on as our daughter wandered the room and the tie belt in the back was easy to tie and laid perfectly in sync with the dress. Our daughter is on the taller side for a 2.5 year old (90th percentile for height alone). So instead of a 3T we went up about two sizes for length and the 5-6 fell just right! She walked, she ran, she squatted – anything you can think of she did in this dress and it went with her in all its glory! The zipper was easy to maneuver without any hang ups or catches and the head band had a velcro closure instead of the traditional stretchy band that easily loses elasticity with frequent use. I look forward to the longevity of the head band and the inability to change the size as she grows. She did NOT want to take it off when we got home! We look forward to ordering this dress in the other two collections you currently offer.
