    I would crochet the dress in rainbow colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple)...

    I'm not very good with photos so I would send it to my photography friend and have her take a picture of it for me...

  5. Angela Marshall amarshall428@gmail.com I am really excited about this as well. Since the weather is warm down here well into the holidays I think it could be perfect as A Halloween costume. Maybe a witch's dress with orange/black or even a princess dress! Excited ;-)

    I would make this in two shades of blue - one dark and rich and the other light.

    To make it fun, I would photograph it right after my daughter finished twirling in it.

    I would make this in a black/white or black/silver gray combo with some hot pink accents. My 5yr old granddaughter loves to twirl, so twirling in the park would probably be my photo of choice:)

    My daughter says she would like it in red and purple. :)
    To make it a fun photo, I would take pictures of her playing near a creek. I'm sure there would be dancing involved as she loves to dance and perform for the camera. :)

    The colors I would chose are either pink/white/brown combo or a variegated blue combo.

    As far as photographing to make it fun well depending on the colors I chose a field of wildflowers (if there is any with the heat) or even a beach scene would be awesome.

    I would then photograph her in it (she's six)cause she's my world sitting in the grass with flowers in her hair!

    I would make it in pink and purple or lime green.

    My youngest chicklet is quite the poser so I would get pictures of her at the playground and likely riding her bike. likely in "high heels" and her hair made "bootiful"

    Thanks!!
