Dress-A-Day #7: Pocahontas Sundress

Okay, so I missed a day there. I also never got around to making her a 7th dress so I decided to let her pick out one from my rack of recently made kokoleos. She chose this Pocahontas one.

Despite my issues with Disney princesses (over-commercialization, myth-marketing, beauty standard-warping) and my issues with the company (damn outsourcers), I found a few nice bedsheets (Jasmine, Ariel, Cinderella) that were begging to become sundresses. When I found this Pocahontas pillowcase I immediately thought of this native American print fabric I have in the same color scheme.

McKenna hasn't even seen the movie Pocahontas, she just liked this dress because it reminded her of the doll she got on our vacation to Death Valley last month.

I love listening to her play with her dolls. She does all the voices and acts out all sorts of scenarios. It's the cutest thing in the world when she says, "Hey Daddy! Wanna play dolls wif me?"

... and he does.

  1. Oh man, so when I was in kindergarten, Pocohontas was my favorite movie ever, and my mom got me those exact sheets--I actually still use them sometimes when I'm staying at home. It really brought me back to see this dress pop up in my Google reader. (That's what Disney princesses are for, in my opinion--shared national childhoods.)
