Cool for School with Pannaz and Giveaway

Like most of America,we are getting back into the school routine.For us this means 2 going to public school and one doing K12 home school.Even though the Princess is staying home this year,she thinks she has to have new clothes and shoes just like the boys do..go figure.Princess loves pillowcase dresses and  has been infatuated with them every since I got her first one a couple of years ago.I have said a million times that I am going to learn how to make them,but honestly,I just don't have the sewing skills necessary to make a good one,so I buy them instead.


I was looking for sponsors for my Back to School in Style reviews/giveaways when I came across Pannaz Etsy shop.I love Etsy because I love hand made items.I like the attention to detail that is lacking in mass produced items and the individuality you get from them as well.

When I asked Brandi to be a sponsor,she readily agreed and sent me this amazing pillowcase dress to review.The first thing I noticed was the stitching.The lines are nice and straight,which is a must for me.I like the combination of patterns too.They match perfectly,yet provide a nice contrasting look.Being made in a smoke free/pet free home,the dress arrived in perfect condition.Brandi did a great job of choosing a dress for the Princess and she just had to wear it as soon as we opened the package.The dress held up perfectly through dancing,running and playing and came through the wash good as new.My favorite part? Brandi sews the ribbon in the center which keeps it from falling out.I can't tell you how great this is.I hate having to thread those ribbons back into the dresses when they come out and now,I won't have to!

The great thing about the Pannaz shop...she makes other items as well! I am a big fan of the juice pouch items.I think these are too cute (and another of those things I say I am going to make and never do).I think my nephew would be too cute in this adorable shirt...

and I love the receiving/toddler blankets too!

One of my readers will get to experience the quality of her work just like me.Brandi has agreed to give a pillowcase dress to one of my readers too! The winner will get a free dress up to a size 4 or they can choose to pay only $5 for a dress up to size 8! What a great deal! You can see in the picture,the Princess will get plenty of use from this dress.She normally wears a size 4/5 so the sizing is very generous.
