**How It All Began** Long before Little Red Riding Hood became a beloved icon known for her iconic journey to grandma's house with a basket brimming with delicious pastries, she was originally called Little Dolores Riding Hood. Doesn’t quite have the same charm, does it? One can’t help but ponder whether a storybook titled "Little Dolores Riding Hood" would have captured hearts and imagination quite like the tale we cherish today. It’s likely that it wouldn’t have had the same appeal. If you've ever been curious about how this enchanting character earned her famous moniker, allow us to unveil the delightful backstory. Years prior to her adventure, young Dolores accompanied her mother on a shopping expedition meant to cultivate her fashion sense. As she wandered through aisles adorned with vibrant clothing, her eyes fell upon a stunning crimson kerchief that would ultimately alter the course of her life. The moment she slipped it on, Dolores felt a spark of realization—she had discovered her personal style. "I've done it," she whispered with excitement. Her mother, enchanted by her daughter’s enthusiasm, bought every size of that red hood available, ensuring that Dolores could wear it every day. And thus, that charming little girl faded away, giving rise to the enchanting Little Red Riding Hood—arguably one of the greatest storybook characters of all time. (No offense to Dorothy!) **Design & Details** While we don’t necessarily endorse buying out our entire stock of this delightful costume, like Red's mother did, we wholeheartedly guarantee that your little girl will feel absolutely magnificent in this deluxe Little Red Riding Hood costume.
