So exciting. I went ahead and splurged and ordered that Tea Collection dress I linked to above. Need to find something coordinating, but cheaper and less dressy for the baby now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2851416 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 20:55:51 +0000 anonysquire 2851416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How exciting!!! We will be doing this December or early next year! What color are you looking for? Also what style? I mean I know places like Ross and TJmaxx usually have really fluffy dresses! I like gap and old navy for cute dresses too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850930 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 12:09:46 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2850930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: congrats super excited for you, and that dress is awesome. I agree using the fabric for something sentimental is a great idea, and if you don't go that route, make sure to keep the dress clean and safe for the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850927 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 12:02:38 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2850927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BUNBUN: I LOVE the pillow idea. I would do a horrible job, but I could totally talk my aunt into doing it for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850926 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 12:01:56 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2850926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RonjaL7: @BUNBUN: You guys are so sweet. I will try blogging again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850892 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 10:04:07 +0000 BUNBUN 2850892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: That dress is gorgeous! And if you're feeling crafty/sentimental, the fabric would make a beautiful pillow cover so she could keep it forever.<br /> No other dress suggestions from me (boy mom) but I wanted to add my CONGRATULATIONS!! Also, I miss reading your blogs :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850869 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 08:59:41 +0000 RonjaL7 2850869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: selfishly asking... once you adopt could you blog again??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850834 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 05:39:20 +0000 Kaohinani 2850834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: That dress is absolutely adorable!

So exciting!<br /> My DD (now 10) and I always find success shopping for cute dresses at Fabkids.com, Old Navy, Gap Kids, the Children's Place, hannaandersson.com, and H&amp;M. We have been shopping at the aforementioned ever since T was a toddler. Best of luck finding the perfect dress for her special day! 💜 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850747 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 17:03:21 +0000 AngelicOne 2850747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: Just wanted to say congrats!

They are owned by the same company as Janie and Jack (which also has great special occasion wear but much pricier).</p> <p>I'd also check out Hope and Henry (<a href="https://hopeandhenry.com/" rel="nofollow">https://hopeandhenry.com/</a>). You can find it all on Amazon as well and it is like Janie and Jack but cheaper and organic fabrics and super cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850704 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 14:25:37 +0000 catgirl 2850704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! So happy for all of you!</p> <p>For special occasion dresses I have a lot of luck at consignment stores. They generally have some nicer brands and they are in great shape since they are hardly worn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850703 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 14:23:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2850703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: :heart: :heart: Ahh so happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850701 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 14:21:12 +0000 LadyDi 2850701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say congratulations!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-adoption-day#post-2850698 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 14:17:10 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2850698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, guys... look at this.

I have a Gymboree outlet about an hour away, but I'll be driving that way next weekend. I'll have to stop to check it out.<br /> @LemonLong: Oh man. She would love those.
