CLOSED
At our house, we celebrate two birthdays and an anniversary all within three weeks in July. It's a busy busy month, but it's always worth it!
This year, Little Lou's sixth birthday fell just 8 days after Bugsy's surgery which, as you know, was a major deal with a gigantic recovery. As you can imagine, we didn't really have the time, energy, or money to provide the party or attention we really felt like she deserved this year. In fact, she's been kind of pushed aside a lot over the past 4 years since the Bug was born. After searching high and low for some perfect birthday outfit for Little Lou, I came across MegaRoos!
The Scoop
MegaRoos is a small company run by a sweet WAHM named Megan. Megan makes the most adorable little pillowcase dresses, headbands, and hair bows! Megan graciously agreed to make this beautiful dress for Little Lou for her birthday:
AND Megan threw a couple of surprises into the package as well!
The Good
The craftsmanship. The dress, headband, and bow are all beautifully made! They're obviously not assembly line, mass-produced products, which I love. If you look at the seams, you can tell they're "homemade" but they're amazing quality!
The coordination. The ribbon straps of the dress match the bottom trim of the dress perfectly! Not only that, but the headband and hair bow are made of the same materials as the dress, so they're perfect matches as well. The whole outfit is just adorable and coordinates so well. I couldn't have asked for a better set! Little Lou prefers to attach the MegaRoos hair bow onto the headband and wear them as one unit, which I think is cute as well.
The Bad
The straps. It's minor. Really minor. In fact, I'm not sure there's much that could be done about it. The straps sometimes fold in the wash. I know that they're made of ribbon, and I imagine that with any similar dress this would be an issue. I just unfold them and flatten them out the best I can. It typically works. I was afraid the ribbon would come out in the washer, but so far it has stayed put very nicely. I just tie it into a bow before I throw it in.
The Outcome
The dress, headband, and hair bow we received from MegaRoos are all beautifully made and exactly what I wanted for Little Lou for her birthday! The prices are very reasonable. The workmanship is amazing and so is the extremely friendly customer service. I would definitely buy from MegaRoos!
If you have a little girl, or know a little girl, who could use a new dress (what little girl couldn't?) for everyday or a special occasion, a sweet pillowcase dress from MegaRoos would be a perfect wardrobe addition!
