Man wears princess dress to the cinema for his 4-year-old niece

By Josh Haggis

A man from Detroit found an unusual, but totally adorable way to support his 4-year-old niece this week.

Jesse Nagy, 26, was preparing to go and see Disney’s Cinderella at the cinema with his niece when she became embarrassed by the thought of wearing her princess dress to the film.

Refusing to allow her to feel bad about wanting to wear the sparkly dress, Nagy decided that the only feasible option was to find an adult-sized dress and wear one himself.

“She said ‘you could be a princess too,'” he told ABC News. “We made the trade-off and I said, ‘OK, we can both be princesses,’ but she had to have the crown. I thought ‘fair enough!’

“If it’s going to make her happy, I’ll do it, I don’t care,” he added.
