Hello!:goodvibes

I just got off the phone making a BBB reservation for my daughter's 12th birthday. The CM I had said the dresses only go up to size 7- is that true? I could have sworn another thread said they go up to size 14. My DD wears a size 12, and had her heart set on being Belle when she went to BBB.

If anyone can confirm the size that the dresses go up to, that would be great!

Thanks!:goodvibes
 
I can't confirm the size but I can provide a tip that I learned from the DIS (there is a great thread on here all about BBB) - It's cheaper and easier to purchase a dress and take it with you. Also, depending on the child they might feel more comfortable in a custom outfit instead of a itchy dress. My 11 year old niece wants to be Belle when we go in Nov. However, she doesn't want the "little girl" dress so I am having a cute top and pants outfit made for her. It's a little more "teen". It was also cheaper than buying it there.

We purchased the Tink outfit the first time we did BBB in 2011 and after about an hour she wanted to change.

Good luck! I know she will love it. It was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to doing it again this year.
 
Like pp said, we too have always brought our own dress. If your DD wants to be Belle, you might want to bring your own to guarantee that.

If you get just the hair, make-up, and nails you get the exact same treatment at BBB as if you also get the dress.
 
Thank you both for your replies.:)

I have thought about purchasing a dress too- my DD has been to BBB a couple of years ago and got the Castle Package at that time, and really wants to do it again! It will be her actual birthday on the day of her appointment, so I wanted it to be extra special. But, since I'm nervous about sizing, I think I will take your advice and order a dress (maybe from eBay) for her. I don't want her to be disappointed if the dress does not come in her size (size 12-14).

Thanks again!!:goodvibes
 

It kills me the inconsistency of what you can hear when you call Disney.

Dress sizes go up to at least 10. I've heard 14, but can't confirm that.

Like the others, I'd bring your own. Even if they typically stock up to size 14, there's no guarantee they will have the one she wants that day in that size.

Thanks for the info! I have been to WDW many times, and this CM that I had when booking BBB was full of inaccurate info, and very unfriendly. It took me 20 minutes from the time I was put through to her until I got my confirmation number for the appointment. I thought that was pretty long. I will plan on bringing my own dress for DD. One less thing to worry about! Thanks again.

If you DD is wanting princess shoes to wear with her dress, be sure you get those in advance too. The last time my DD did BBB (2008) there was very little selection for shoes for girls in adult size shoes. She wore a 5 or 6 at the time, and we had to exchange shoes at the Castle BBB for ones at DTD. And even then they barely fit.

And just in case ..... on that visit we got my daughter a dress that was a 10-12. It definitely skewed toward a 12, and in fact when she was wearing a 14, other than being too short, the dress still fit.
