Dress for a cause!

See this dress? When Katy opened it today, she said, "I love it!!" I am certain that we will see a lot of it this summer because it's just her style.



The best part is: the $20 that I paid for this dress is going to support my friend Kelsey in her March of Dimes walk coming up. Kelsey has participated since her son (turning 3 this month along with David!) was born prematurely at 31 weeks.  Her friend is making these dresses and giving all the proceeds to Kelsey's walk!

All I did was open up the Facebook link, (you don't have to have an account), look at the 2 dress options, click "contact me" and tell Liz which dress I wanted in what size. (The dresses are available newborn to 4T, bigger sizes can made as tops) She sent me an invoice via Paypal, which took 2 minutes to pay (there's $3 shipping, by the way). Then 4 days later - the dress is in my mailbox. How's that for service?

I just thought I'd share it in case you were interested. She's taking orders until April 1st!

Adorable! I am going to do this too. Out of curiousity, what size did you order. Chloe is hovering between 12m and 18m size right now so I was wondering if you thought this dress ran big/small/just right?

I ordered a 4T and wondered/hoped it would be big enough and it is plenty big, almost too big. She wears a 4T in most stuff, and I think the nature of the dress (pillowcase style) makes it run kinda big, plus she's short so it's plenty long enough.

Em! I love it! That looks adorable on Katy - what a sweet picture...

Thank you for sharing this and passing the links along, every little bit helps. :-)

P.S. Give me a crib sheet and three minutes and I can totally teach you to fold a fitted sheet - there's a trick!

Gorgeous dress! Makes me wish I had a girl to buy one for. Maybe her friend can do something for boys next year?

I did go with the 18m but I figure, Chloe is going to grow and it'll be fun to use it throughout the summer since winter just won't seem to completely go away around here! I went with the same dress :)
