Easter Sunday.

Way before the days of Frozen and mass-market Princess everything, my mother bought this Alice in Wonderland dress while we were on vacation in Disney World. I was about 7 or 8 and it was a BIG purchase only worn on special occasions…this was no plastic costume! There was a petticoat and a separate apron with the White Rabbit embroidered on it.

I felt incredibly fancy and special when I was able to wear this dress.

Before this Easter photo was taken, I was skipping around the giant tree looking for secret passageways to Wonderland. I TRULY believed the dress was magical!

Luckily, the dress has been saved. It’s waiting in the closet for when my, long-haired blonde, daughter is old enough. ~shared by @editorsedge
