If your daughter had her way, she would wear her ballet recital costume every day. Unfortunately, last year’s tutu is too too worn out.

Restock her dress-up supply at Tutu Girl, a virtual warehouse of tulle and satin ribbon. A wide selection of sizes (for babies and up) in more than 50 colors ensures years full of fluffy frill. Whether she’s a prima ballerina or a princess, there’s a style just right for the next birthday party, holiday or play date.

Enjoy the priss and pouf.

Much like any star of a certain age, the Disney Princess & Friends dolls have recently undergone a bit of cosmetic tweaking to make them look more like the heroines in the original animated movies from whence they came. It’s mostly subtle stuff: Ariel’s hair is redder, makeup is toned down, Pocohantas, Jasmine and Mulan no longer look like they have Caucasian Barbie faces painted brown.

The revamped Cinderella doll will wow the preschool girl crowd. Cinderella’s hair is formed into a giant curl that resembles her traditional upswept ‘do, but can be brushed with the included brush. Mini-princesses will also dig her “ooh! so sparkly!” dress, and the three mice that come with her (all the dolls are packaged with friends now — for instance, Snow White includes Dopey and Happy figurines).

Cindy does look more adult and thinner now (to Mom’s dismay) — but hey, who said princesses were real.
