**The Enchanting Origin of Little Red Riding Hood** Before she became a beloved character known for her journey to grandmother's house, Little Red Riding Hood was originally called Little Dolores Riding Hood. While charming, the name doesn't quite resonate like its more iconic counterpart, does it? If the fairytale had been titled *Little Dolores Riding Hood*, would it have captured the hearts of readers in quite the same way? Likely not. Have you ever been curious about how she earned the moniker "Little Red"? We're here to share the delightful backstory you never knew you needed. Years before Red set off on her now-famous adventure, her mother took her on a shopping trip, hoping to nurture her budding fashion sense. Amidst the vibrant displays of colorful attire, Dolores spotted a striking crimson kerchief that would forever change her destiny. As soon as she donned the radiant hood, Dolores felt an instant connection. "I've done it. I've found my personal style," she whispered. Her mother, enchanted by her daughter's joy, promptly bought every size of the red hood available, ensuring that Dolores would never have to part with her favorite piece. That day marked the transition from Dolores to the world-renowned Little Red Riding Hood, easily one of the most cherished characters in literary history. Sorry, Dorothy – it seems Red has taken the spotlight! **Design & Details** While we don’t recommend purchasing every piece in our stock as Red's mother did (though we certainly wouldn't mind!), we can promise that your little girl will feel spectacular in this deluxe Little Red Riding Hood costume.
