| Her Highness, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. |
 |
| Nothing but Cinderella joy. |
With grandma leaving us in just a week, our Halloween costume efforts have entered high-gear (I am merely the apprentice on this Cinderella creation and not to be trusted solo, I assure you).
Charlotte got her first fitting this morning, as the zipper was pinned in and the hem was considered (we took our questions about hemming satin to our friends at the John Lewis haberdashery who were most helpful.)

| Eliza pins the hem. |
You see, Eliza doesn't just sew from a pattern, she IMPROVES everything. No child of mine, she has made it crystal clear, will be wearing a costume with unfinished edges scratching her tender skin, so we have basted until our fingers ached and threaded tiny needles that neither of us can competently see, until VOILA!, we have an almost finished satin and sparkling organza gown, which is truly nicer than anything in my UK wardrobe. You will not be surprised to hear that Charlotte was most cross when asked to take it off. MOST CROSS.
