Quotes about Sara's princess wardrobe

[arielstreasures]

"It was full of petticoats with lace frills on them - frills and frills...I saw her shaking them out... She has got one of those petticoats on now. I saw it when she sat down." page 17, Lavinia

"She has silk stockings on!" whispered Jessie, bending over her geography also. "And what little feet! I never saw such little feet!" pp. 18

Omg, yes! I thought the same thing! I really feel like ALP is very much inspired by Cinderella. It is essentially a Cinderella retelling with the main character as a child.

Yes...you know when you think about it it's cinderella in reverse. Riches to rags instead of rags to riches. The death of a father. Being demoted to servant status in a place where you once were revered as a princess. the role of animals, so many parallels :')

[littlemermaid]

Very true! Although, in many different adaptations of Cinderella it is implied that her father was quite wealthy, so technically Cinderella went from riches to rags to riches again … lol

But yes, so many parallels! :)
