All The Frills For Little Girls At Easter Time

Many moms find that pretty dresses spend more time on the closet floor than on their little angels. But what mom can resist dressing her little girl up in a new dress at springtime?

Buy a frock at a Dress For Less price and the fact that it is worn only a few times won’t hurt so much.

For special dresses, there are oodles of options: department-store sale racks, off-price stores like TJ Maxx, discount stores and children’s catalogs.

The Dress For Less floral dress with lace-edged collar and petticoat trim also comes with a matching hat, reasonably priced at Kmart.

The handbag from Marshalls was on sale and the $9.99 shoes are a good example of Payless Shoes’ everyday low prices.
