And I'm
so happy...Ms. Binky at
MyBinkiesAndBows at Etsy is
incredible! She loves the AB/DL/IC community
so much, she does this for us people who love to wear baby girl dresses. And her designs are intuitively baby...she
really knows how to capture the sweetest elements of baby-girlhood and tie them into a single wearable piece of art. It's beyond comprehension...and it works
so wonderfully! Each dress takes about 3 months, from order to at-your-door...and is
so worth the wait.
After my February Crisis, I ordered a basic pink dress from Ms. Binky, with matching pink sash...
I put it on...and felt a bit awkward for a bit, this was quite a departure for me at that time. But the more I wore it, the better I felt, the better the dress felt. It felt as sweet as it looked; I felt
so little girl in it. That's my formal toddler girl dress...and after that experience, I needed another dress: less formal, a little more everyday, just as cute...and in purple. And found this:
My heart
ached for it! Purple! Gingham! Tulips! Puffy sleeves! Peter Pan collar! Ruffles! Bows! It tied in so well with my 37.5% Dutch blood. So, I ordered it...and added a white sash. Today, on my 4th "Birth-a-versary" here at ADISC, it arrived:
Ms. Binky even threw in two matching, sweet hair bows! I
so wish I had hair! But they should work on my Sue Ellen yarn-wig soon...but enough! Carefully removed the ribbon, peeled off the paper...and...
I
had to try it on, now! Gently put on the diaper cover, then gently slid into the dress from the bottom...and zipped it. Grabbed Bonnie, went to the mirror, looked...and started weeping. It looked, felt
incredible! I held Bonnie
so very closely, wept into her fur, kissed her snout. I never felt so validated in all my life. It feels so...
me. I'm
really a toddler girl now. More and more, every day. And I hope the feeling
never ends. The feeling of being a happy, free toddler girl...it can't be described. And I have Ms. Binky to thank
so very much for it.
So now: made the decision to wait a month and then order two more dresses...these:
The 'fraff' (
Toddlerese for 'giraffe' ) dress will get a yellow sash; the daisy dress will have a white sash.
If this is what you wanna be, don't be afraid to jump in. Don't be afraid at all. You have excellent company.
