Summer 2001 saw my daughters 6th birthday. She is a keen dancer at home and had been interested in looking at Spanish dresses for some time.
We were in Madrid in on her actual Birthday, and we saw
Maty , but I was reluctant to go in as it looked so serious and formal.
However, I need not have fretted. We were allowed to look around at our leisure until we decided we needed help. This help came in the shape of a really lovely lady attendant who was patient with my (non-existant really) Spanish and treated my daughter like a princess, allowing her to try on whichever dresses she wanted
When the final dress was decided upon (pink naturally

, although I liked the green one), the assistant presented my daughter with a matching silk flower for her hair.
We left the shop feeling very happy

But it's my turn next time

ps I had a quick look at the men's trousers pim - interesting items
