    Thank you so much for the shout out! This was such a fun project! I am having to restrain myself from tearing apart all of my daughters dresses and adding bustles to them!

      Have you ever considered making one to sale!? My Fiancé is a Marine & he fell in love with this for our daughter on the way! He hasn’t had a daddy moment & when I showed him this dress, it was amazing how he just looked at it & had a smile from ear to ear & said get it! He said he had a flash forward & saw our daughter wearing this & that’s all he talked about all day long! So Please please please consider

    Oh, how adorable! I don’t think my son would like this though! But it would be too cute for my kid sis.

    And it could be used for Bastille Day too [hey, we could all use another excuse to celebrate!]
