Does My Bum Look Small In This

In an hilariously ingenious twist to the whole 'let's make mornings as chaotic as possible' routine the other day Lyra decided that she needed to go to school.

And so, having spotted Eloise's dress discarded nonchalantly in the middle of her bedroom floor, she decided to wear it as a statement of intent.

The hem was, ahem, brushing against the floor even when she drew herself up to her full majestic height and the T-shirt length sleeves reached past her elbows.

Clearly with a full day of play planned the dress would have difficulty surviving, and so, with extreme prejudice, it was removed and replaced with more practical clothing before embarking upon the day's activities.
