Name the Dress Thursday: We Have a Winner!

Congratulations to our first Name the Dress Thursday Winner:

Brittany Spradling

for her suggestion of Nelly Bly - an adventurous lady who traveled the world in 72 days way back in 1890!

We are certain she would have been a Matilda Jane girl too!

Brittany- email Desi at [email protected] with your address and daughter’s size, and she will get your dress right out to you!

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions! There were so many perfect names we had a hard time choosing only one! Be sure to come back next week for the second edition of Name the Dress Thursday!

Congrats to Brittany … just like Kari said, I like it so much better than my own :-) ! I did notice, though, that Brittany had spelled the name “*Nellie* Bly” :-) . Intrigued, I did a search & found that it, in fact, was Ms. Bly’s pen name (she was born Elizabeth *Jane* Cochrane), & that she originally intended for it to be “*Nelly* Bly,” but her editor -she also was a journalist- wrote “Nellie” by mistake, & the error stuck :-) ! So sorry I’m such a geek … just found it to be quite interesting!

Julie C - September 28, 2012 - 2:20 pm

Congrats Brittany – that’s a very fitting name!

Stacey - September 28, 2012 - 5:41 pm

Perfect! I love it, congrats Brittany!
