hi,
i apologize if this has been asked... but planning to order the tiana dress off ebay before we leave... and wondering if it's wise to size up in the tiana dress? my dd got the belle dress last year in an xs and length wise, it's perfect (wouldn't drag on the ground)... she got a dis store cinderella dress for christmas that fits ok, but is a bit long... just looking for experiences with the tiana dress, and how it fits.. thanks!

If this is the Disney store Tiana dress I got my daughters a size larger than she wears and it is actually perfect for her. I got it bigger since we aren't going till December but I am thinking it might run a little small because she has other Disney Store Princess Dresses and they are all a size smaller and fit the same.

thanks for your reply. I should have clarified, it's actually the dress sold in the parks... my daughter is a 2-3t bottom and a 4 on top... usually a 4 in dresses... about 30 lbs...hmmm. i just dont want it to drag on the ground... or have her chest hanging out.. (not that she has a chest, but you know what i mean!) i suppose maybe they would be able to pin it or something if it was too big? hmmm.

I bought one, and have it hidden for DD. I plan to give it to her in Dec. But it looks short to me. I hope it fits, but I can't try it on her and ruin the surprise either. I guess i could measure it up to her other dresses and see.

which size did you buy? the small or xs? thanks!

Well Now I'm worried. It is a 6-6x. I campared it to the dress in my signature (the Belle one) and that one is a 4 (from the Disney store). It's an inch shorter. I compared it to another full length dress we have from the Disney store that is a 6-6x and it's 2 inches shorter. That dress was too long for DH in the past, but I haven't tried it on her lately and she has grown alot. I guess I'll try it on today and see how long it is. But the width looks iffy too on the Tiana dress. I thought Tiana was supposed to be a full length one too. I wish I know had gotten the 7 instead.

I am not sure who Ms.B is, but I always buy my Disney outfits from ebay seller wantsnneeds4u. She gets the current park dresses and sells them for 29.99. I have purchased 5 dresses from her in the last year and they are the exact ones sold at disney and she is a A+ seller.

Thanks for the info!! I just looked, she only has the Alice dress right now, but I will keep checking!!!

Hi everyone, this is my first time signing my DD up for BBB and I have a couple questions - hoping some of you pros can answer for me!

1. Does having it done at DTD take away from the experience? I wanted an early MK BBB, but is a no go this late in the game. So, is it still worth it or not as great?

2. My DMIL made my DD4 a gorgeous Cinderella dress. It is BEAUTIFUL! It actually likes like it could have been taken off grown-up Cinderella and shrunk in the wash. LOL. Anyway, she made her the light blue band that Cinderella wears in her hair as well. Can we use that instead of the tiara, and just take the tiara home with us? Or is that a no-no?

Thanks in advance!!!

I got this dress for DD for our march trip. She is a 6x right now, and I bought the 7-8. She is not tall, and the skirt is midcalf on her so I think it is meant to be that way. If I had gotten any bigger it would have been too long waisted. It has speagetti straps. The straps are a little long on her, but the disappear into the leaves on the front and are really easy to take up or just slip a safety pin into without it showing at all. I am going to tack hers down, but I am waitnig until closer to the trip to see if she grows any. If there is any doubt at all I would size up. My DD is a little on the thin side in the top, and the 7-8 is big on her, but not as big as I expected. It is just a smidge bigger than her 6-6x cindy dress from Disney Store. I don't think they will pin it for you at BBB though so I would take asfety pins with me. It took all of 2 min. for me to pin DD's to fit her.

How tall is your DD? Mine is 46" and the dress is a longer mid calf on her in a 7/8. The straps are long on her, but disappear into the leaves on the front and were really easy to pin. The top is really stretchy, so it should be at least a little forgiving.

1. IMO, it would take away from the experience of being at the castle......but that could be just me AND I've never done it at DTD!!!! BUT if you're really wanting it done at the castle, don't give up! Last May, we hadn't plannd on doing it before the castle breakfast because DH thought it was a "waste of money." I did my best to fix DD's hair like they do and got some of the face rhinestones they use, but she looked a MAJOR mess! Once we got there and saw the other little girls going in, DH told me to check and see if they had time to get us in. We had NO CLUE that ADR's were such a huge deal at that time!!!!! I walked up and they got us RIGHT IN -- NO WAIT AT ALL!!!! We were finished with time to spare before our castle breakfast reservation!!!!

2. No clue on this one, but I'd think, depending on what style she picks, it may take away from the look of how they're fixing it, kwim?

1) I do think the experience is probably more magical in the castle. Make the appt at DTD, then keep trying to see if someone cancels at the castle. It requires a CC hold, so people DO cancel.

2) I the the classic blue headband would look fine with the bun (princess style) they do. It is close to how Cindy wears her hair. Have them leave it off or put it in very loose so you can take it out if you want. This was with a BBB do. She had the makeover at 8 AM and wore the crown most of the day. She put the costume on for MVMCP that night and we took the crown out.

 

[tink too]

We did package with nails, hair and makeup.

Questions is it worth the price if they aren't planning on wearing Princess Dresses?

Definately! Our DD went about in her shorts and t-shirt all morning after her BBB appt. She put her Giselle dress on for lunch at CRT and then changed back into her "own" clothes for touring the park.

I thin kshe is 44 or 45 inches. I need to measure her again. She is really thin. She wears anything from a 5-7 at home though. I know I should've bought the 7-8, but for now I am just hoping it will be a perfect fit and not too small and I guess not one to wear much in the future.

 

[serene56]

my GD is 43 1/2 inches- she is NOT thin- she weighs 53 lbs. I got her delux princess dresses from the disney store- I got the 7/8 and they ae just fitting her. (the belle dress is still a little long. but fit every where else.)
she did complain they were scratchy and itchy so I got some camisoles to go under.

My DD had it down at DTD 2 years ago (age 5) and had a blast. They sat her in the window at the World of Disney store while doing everything so everyone walking by would stop and watch. She loved the attention. We went to MK later that day. She also slept in it and still looked great the next day (they use a lot of hair product) This year, we are going for MNSSHP and I booked it again for DTD during early afternoon, then we'll head to MK for the party. My DD didn't know there was a BBB in the castle so she didn't feel that she missed out on anything...
As for the headband, if they have a problem with it, just put it on yourself after! It would probably look really cute with the princess bun!

Are there special costumes at BBB during Christmas? Anyone have pictures of past years? Thanks

We were there the week after Thanksgiving last year and I did not see any special holiday costumes.
