“I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses. All of us”.
Every little girl, teenager or woman at some point wants to be a princess or be seen as one. But it is usually not until prom that we are able to fulfill this dream. With my dresses I hope to give little girls the chance to not have to wait until prom. My inspiration for this idea is my three year old granddaughter Caydence. At seventeen months old she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. She wears an insulin pump and can tell you why she needs it and how it works. She checks her own blood sugar and will tell you if she is a good number. I asked her how she can be so strong with her diabetes and she said, “Because I’m a princess Nana. My Caydence is truly a princess and an inspiration. She taught me the importance of self-image and how empowering it is for even a little girl. I want to inspire little girls to know that no matter what life holds for them they have their inner princess to help make them be strong.
Our dresses are made of quality materials and are made with love. We made them to be affordable so every little girl can have one. We also take special orders so every girl can be the princess of their dreams. Thank you for supporting our shop and don’t forget to lift your head princesses, if not, the crown falls.

Your story is truly inspiring I love that you can take such a negative situation, and make it so positive! I wish all the best for your granddaughter. I could never imagine, what is must be like for a child at such a young age, to deal with something so adult like.
I took really special interest in your blog, because I am a Nanny/ Babysitter and seeing children happy is my job, and that is what you are doing. I see the photo you posted is that one of your dresses you created? What ages do you make these, I would be really interested in getting one for girls I previously nannied. Do you also make tutus? I think what you are doing is truly amazing, and I think you are 100% correct when you say every girl dreams of being a princess 🙂

Wow your inspiration for your business made me tear a little bit. I have a friend whose daughter has spent much of her life so far in and out of hospitals and whenever I see her in photos where she gets to dress up as a princess it makes me smile. I think it lets her enter a entire new world where she is happy and healthy. I read a couple days ago that overall many children today are losing their creativity and imaginations because they are always given video games and toys that do not make them think up ideas for themselves. Do you think getting girls to play dress up more will help their creativity and imagination which will lead them to a fuller life?
