A Vintage Cinderella Dress

I picked up this dress for Genevieve at the thrift store for a few dollars and it's a real find:  heavy, rich plaid, dainty cotton lace, and an attached crinoline.  The brand name is Cinderella, which my mother recognized as expensive little girls' dresses.  A few days later, I noticed that a three-corner rip in the skirt had been carefully mended by hand.  The plaid was matched precisely and I'm sure no one noticed at church yesterday.

Genevieve loves it for the crinoline, for the fullness.

I love it with her red Mary Janes.
