Cinderelly! Cinderelly!

My cute little niece had her birthday party today. It was small, just her family and a couple of us Aunts and Uncles. I was so pleased they invited us and so excited they are so close we'll get to play more often.  As soon as I found out Saturday night she was having a little get together the wheels in my brain started turning to try and come up with the perfect gift. So I started with the classic "who's your favorite princess?" Her answer was Jasmine. "Ok. Who's your 2nd favorite princess?" "Cinderella." Boom! Idea born.

Monday night after work I got busy on her Cinderella dress up. 

And late Tuesday night decided it needed a poufy underskirt to make it puff out more. The skirt was surprisingly simple and I just made it up as I went along. (Tutorial to come)

And what is the first thing every little girl does when she puts on a new dress? Test it's twirling abilities, of course. She specifically asked me for a picture of her twirling. 

 Not too shabby for a couple of bed sheets and some beads huh?

Yep. I think it went over well. Aunt Tiff nailed it again! Whew! All I had was her size, because I didn't want her mother to know what I was planning so it was a total surprise.
