Festa Junina

June is over, and so are most of the Festa Junina parties.  I've blogged about them before.  They are a big part of the culture, and a part of every school's calendar.  The party is a big deal at Maple Bear, and families tend to spend a lot of money on outfits, especially for the girls.  This is VERY different from the artsy-fartsy school we went to, where the children made their own costumes.  Since I'm a cheap "make it yourself" kind of person, I opted to create Beatrice and Sebastian's outfits.
