**How It All Began** Long before Little Red Riding Hood embarked on her iconic journey to visit her grandmother with a basket overflowing with delightful pastries, she went by the name of Little Dolores Riding Hood. Admittedly, that name doesn't quite evoke the same charm, does it? One can only ponder whether a storybook titled "Little Dolores Riding Hood" would have captured the hearts of readers in the same way that the beloved tale we cherish today has done. If you’ve ever been curious about how our adventurous heroine became known as “Little Red,” we’re here to share the captivating details behind this transformation—you're welcome! Years prior to the legendary journey to her grandmother's house, a young Dolores embarked on a shopping trip with her mother to nurture her budding fashion sense. As they strolled through aisles adorned with vibrant clothing, Dolores’s eyes fell upon a striking crimson kerchief that would ultimately set the course for her fate. The moment she donned the red hood, a spark of inspiration flowed through her. “I’ve done it. I’ve found my personal style,” whispered Dolores in delight. Her mother, recognizing the significance of this fashion discovery, promptly purchased every size of the red hood available to ensure her daughter was never without her beloved accessory. Thus began the enchanting tale of how Dolores faded into history, making way for the emergence of Little Red Riding Hood, arguably one of the most iconic storybook characters ever—sorry, Dorothy! **Design & Details** We certainly don’t advise that you clear out our entire inventory like Red’s mother did, but we can assure you that your little girl will radiate confidence and charm in this deluxe Little Red Riding Hood costume. This could very well be the Halloween ensemble she looks forward to wearing year after year. The stunning design features a vivid red dress that combines a vest, skirt, and apron layered over a classic white peasant-style blouse. The black velvet vest is not only stylish but also practical, equipped with a back zipper and elegant ribbon lacing in the front. The costume is complemented by a knee-length hooded cape that fastens securely at the neck with a Hook and Loop fastener tab, completing the look with a touch of whimsy. **How To Make It Your Own** Personalizing this enchanting Riding Hood costume is easy! Consider adding delightful accessories such as a wicker basket, cute white ankle socks, and dainty black ballet flats to truly make it unique.
