Such an awesome idea. We have some costumes we could send. My kids never really did dress up or imaginative play like that at home. They are more of a game with rules sort of bunch.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
When I was a kid, my sister and I had bunk beds and the base had two huge drawers. One of those drawers was full of dress up clothes, and it was great. I forget what was in the other drawer, probably toys of some sort.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's a wonderful idea, Kate. Like Kat, I might have a couple old dress up items for her.

Because books.
Sara LOVED dress-up. There was a Dracula princess outfit she wore daily for a while. And now she's discovered makeup.

I want to "Like" that post, Amy! Facebook has warped me.

We had a trunk full of dress-up clothes when I was a kid, and I still remember some of the bizarre things it contained. My brother and I got YEARS of enjoyment out of that stuff.
So did I--I think it had some bridesmaid dresses of my moms and I remember this big silly sheet that she apparently used in a belly dance class she took once.
But how is Rose old enough to enjoy dress up?? Isn't she like, a year old?

My neighbor had a box like that. Hers had a lot of 60s mod stuff and some lingerie things that made great princess accessories.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally had, and loved, a dress-up trunk! Good one.

Wow, I sure had a deprived childhood.

We had all my Nana's old hats, which were awesome.
