Princess Royale, Chandler-Michelle Makes Her Gown Choices!

Our Princess Royale, CHANDLER-MICHELLE, has made her CHOICES of GOWNS for her SWEET SIXTEEN, which will be April 2011! They all come in a variety of colors, but she likes PALE PINK . Most come with a matching BOLERO, to cover her shoulders in the CHURCH.

Please leave your comments on this first choice so that the PRINCESS ROYALE and I can read your wonderful thoughts on this fairytale gown! We will add eight different gowns. Then narrow it down to the top three gowns and cast a vote to see which one gets the most votes and choose the winning gown!

I was going to put in full descriptions for each, but it would have been too lengthy, so this way you can just leave your number choice in your comment:)) Both Chandler-Mi'chelle and I thank you for helping us choose that perfect gown in Pale Pink!

We will put up the final 3 in the poll. Voting ends May 31st!

We will be giving away a set of Six Note Cards with matching Pearl Finished Envelopes, and matching gift tags, from our latest Spring Collection at our La Petite Plume paper boutique, as our way of saying "Merci Beaucoup" for helping us choose her fairytale dress. Chandler - Mi'chelle will draw the name randomly herself! Give away will be from our "Pour Vous Collection", sample shown below!
