My DD had very long hair and just got it cut in a short (very cute) little bob. Will the FGIT still be able to do something princess-y?? Has anyone had good luck with a nice style on shorter hair?

As long as at least some of the hair can be pulled up into a ponytail, the disney diva is a definite possibility. This would probably be the best choice for your princess. The fairytale princess might be a possibility, but some hair (or a lot, depending on how short it is) will need to be left down and the bun will be a little more sparse than usual.

You can definately pull the front back so there should (hopefully) be enough to work with. Thank you!!

You have two beautiful little girls!!

Where did you find that Jasmine outfit?? My daughter wants to be Jasmine really bad but I don't care for the traditional turqouise outfit. I would love to know where to find that pink and purple one.
Have a Disney Day, Renee

My mom got them for the girls in Branson, MO from a Disney Outlet surprisingly last year. I have never seen the Jasmine one either before (I guess maybe that is why it ended in the outlet?)

Thank you for the kind words..

So incredibly bummed - I doubt I will be able to find it now. However, coincidently, I too went to the Disney Outlet in Branson last summer. It's one of my favorite stores, lots of bargains to be found in there. Unfortunately, I wasn't looking for a Jasmine costume then. Oh well, we will find something I'm sure!! Thanks for letting me know!!

The pink and purple Jasmine was part of the Disney Store's 2006 costume selection. It is a beautiful costume. The matching shoes are some of the cutest we have! It's one of our favorites and the crown has a piece that falls down on the face too. They retailed for 39.50 for the pants/top when they first came out.

Last years Jasmine at the Disney Store was also pink. A bright darker pink with gold accents. Matching shoes were shiny patent glitter filled pointed toe style.

We've got an appointment for DD3 (gonna be 4 by the time our trip arrives) for 12/8/08 at BBB @ MK. We purchased the Crown Package as she will be wearing a Snow White dress that has been made for her by a local seamstress. She currently has a Cinderella dress she wore last December which was made by the same seamstress and it came out gorgeous. Can't wait to see her expression now that she knows what Cinderella castle is and what she will be doing there.

Thank you all for sharing such special pictures and stories about your princesses, beng the mother of two grown boys it was a pleasure.
I will have to wait paitiently for hopefully grandaughters some day to enjoy this experience.

Do you think that I will be able to find the new Ariel dress in MouseGear in Epcot? We have a 6:30 Adr and we will be staying in the BWI and my dd wants this dress so badly for the dinner...

 

[Tanzanite]

I'm thinking about signing up my DD for the BBB during our spring trip next year. Yes, I'm planning ahead! She will have just turned 3 a few weeks earlier, so technically she's old enough, but DH is worried that she may be impatient about sitting in the chair. I think she'd be fine about sitting, but I'm concerned that they wouldn't be able to do any of the hair styles. DD has terribly short and thin hair. We're growing it out, but honestly, there's not much hope that she'll have all that much by springtime. Right now it can be put into a TINY (and I mean itty bitty tiny) sort-of ponytail.

If there are any FGMIT, can you let me know what you think about 3 year olds being patient enough for the hair package.. and moreso if there's anything you can do for someone with just a tiny amount of hair??

I just saw the WDW deluxe Red Belle and Snow White WDW costumes on ebay starting at $10!!!!! That red dress sells for $90 at Disney!
We have them all but man...this is cheaper than I paid!!!! Look!

They still have 2 1/2 days of bidding. They will sky rocket up there. They always do with that amount of time. And they are all used.

I bid on a dress the other day with less than one day to go for 6 dollars and it went for over 40.

 

[Jenvenza]

I just love this thread and seeing all your beautiful princesses!!! So cute!!

 

[aladams2]

Has anyone ever made the princess dresses from a pattern, like McCalls? My girls complain so much that the costumes from the store are so itchy I thought my aunt could make some with less harsh materials. I've read that other Disers DD have complained about the itchiness too. What have you done to stop that. If you have made your own costume, can you include it. We are doing BBB as a surprise for the girls and want them to wear their costumes that morning and just take them there and then to CRT for breakfast. TIA.

Ah, the great 3 year old debate...
The thing is, all 3 year olds are not created equal. I have seen some 3 year olds sit more patiently than some 5 and 6 year olds do, but I've also seen some terrible, TERRIBLE situations in which the younger ones are scared, nervous, crabby, etc....fists flying, tears flowing.
Please use your own discretion. You know your child better than anyone else, so only you can tell yourself whether or not she'll be able to sit still in the chair or imagine how she might handle it. You might try having a practice round - a couple of weeks before your appointment, play make-believe and set up a chair for your dd to sit in, and and explain that this is how things might go at bbb...comb her hair, make a ponytail, maybe even pretend to paint nails and put on makeup. How she handles it may or may not be an indication of how things will go at the actual appointment, but...you might get some idea. My advice: make sure dd is well-rested, well-fed, and is very clear on what the bbb is and what we do there! And of course, hope for the best

I'm surprised to hear the difference in price between the BBB and Barbershop. In the barbershop they do little girls hair as well as the boys and the cost is around $20. I think if I had a little one, that would be the choice I made. I have seen the pictures on these boards and the end result is MUCH more inexpensive. The dresses can be purchased any place and can be worn in. I can't see all that money being spent for BBB. Just my thoughts.

Well, I can say I've personally solved the "scratchy" problem by buying my dd's dresses at the disney store. They are cheaper and not scratchy, they seem to use a softer tule. Very cute too. Check them out, I'm sure you won't be disapointed.

Just an FYI, the hairdo at the barbershop is less expensive because it doesn't include any of the extras that the BBB includes. Even if you get the cheapest package at BBB you get a hair piece (or a crown), a barret, a sash, a comb, a little makeup compact, a personalized brochure, and the face stickers. I believe you are actually buying the accesories and getting the hair done for a minimal cost if not free because they are not a barber shop. Plus you can make an appointment at BBB, where the barbarshop is only walk in's, often resulting in long wait.
The middle package includes all the above plus two bottles of nail polish, and the top package includes all the above plus a dress and accessories.
