How To Sew Cinderella Dresses
For Your Little Girl
For little girls, dressing
up is all the rage. They love to look like
pretty princesses in their dress up clothes.
For most girls, Cinderella dresses are their
favorite dress in their dress up trunk. Here
are a few suggestions to choosing Cinderella
dress up clothes that will fit your child well
and that will last for years to come.
The Disney Store always has
great sales going on. If you plan to go to
Disneyland this year, Spring is a good time to
purchase a Cinderella dress that is normally
very expensive. They have gorgeous dresses for
any of the main 5 Disney princesses (Ariel,
Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and
Belle) in on clearance for 50% off and in the
$30-$40 range. They are very fancy and seem to
hold up well to dress up play and are made from
good quality material. Of course, you can also
find matching accessories at the Disney Store
as well as princess apparel.
Amazon and ebay are great
places to find deals and sales on Cinderella
dresses. "Cinderella costume" is a great search
term to narrowing it down to just the dresses
and not the accessories. However, there are
hundreds or thousands of outfits to choose from
even if your search terms are narrowed. If you
are looking for a bargain, you can find a dress
in the $15-$20 range. However, these dresses
tend to run very small (1T-3T) and look cheap.
In addition, they are generally made with
Velcro which snags on the dress. Often, the
cheapest dresses are made from thin material
that rips easily and is not sewn well. However,
if you take your time and look, you may be able
to find a quality costume in this price range,
especially a gently used one on ebay. You can
save a little more by buying online because you
save the sales tax.
Walmart and Target are other
places you can buy costumes. Beware of cheaply
made costumes that you may find at these stores
in the $20 price range. The look cute on the
shelf, but they are generally itchy, small, and
poorly made. Of course, you may find some
exceptions to this, but you probably won't find
a long lasting princess costumes at your local
discount stores.
There are many online
retailers that sell Cinderella dress up
clothes. You will find thousands of them with a
simple Google search! How do you narrow down
the possibilities and find a quality dress for
a reasonable price? In my experience, Little
Adventures dress up clothes are very well made.
They are adorable and are fully serged so that
the hems and seams don't rip. They have basic
and fancy styles, but best of all, they are
machine washable. For moms that's a huge bonus!
However, the dresses are a little plain, so a
fullness slip is recommended under them to make
them poof, it really makes a huge
difference!
Little Adventures has
Cinderella dresses, but also have all of the
other princesses like Snow White, Sleeping
Beauty, Belle, Ariel, and others. If your
budget allows, they have really cute and
inexpensive accessories and doll dresses that
match exactly and fit 18 inch dolls or American
Girl dolls, and Build a Bear.
Good luck on your quest to
finding the perfect costume at the perfect
price!
