Growing up, did you ever have a dress that made you feel pretty?  Made you feel like a grown-up?  Something you put on that instantly transformed you into someone or somewhere else?  Mine was an ugly old ball gown from my great grandmother’s collection of garage sale finds.  Safety pins held up the lace and tulle, and the rusted zipper must have busted decade before I was even born.  But to me it was Cinderella’s dress.  I would wear that ugly thing and run around the house pretending I was at the ball.

This is Charlotte’s special dress.  She dons the dress and out comes almost every face humanly possible.  From lizard lips to angry eyes to a smile meant for Prince Charming, Charlotte (and her mom) love her purple dress.
