Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Haganfam5]

Flower girl shoes. This may be a crazy out there kinda idea but I'm looking at options. LOL DD is wearing a floor length black and white dress. Would it look silly if I got her a pair of white flip flops and wrapped them with ribbon and but a flower on the top? Would it be dressy enough or should I just shell out the $$ for dress shoes that she'll only wear once. LOL trying to be frugal. Dunno if it's gonna work

It's so funny to me to think that other little girls only wear a pair of dress shoes once. My Julia wears them every day! Heals, patent leather shoes, mary Janes, you name it, she has it.

I think you would have to go by the tone of the wedding but personally I wouldn't do flip flops for a flower girl who is walking down the aisle. Maybe for after pictures and the service, to change into. As I said, dress shoes are all I buy for my daughter and I don't spend a whole lot at all. Look at stores like, Walmart, Payless, Target, Sears and JCPenny, especially after the Spring. They will all go on sale and will be very cheap.

I would be a little worried about the flip flops flopping too much. How about using just a ballet type slipper...I used to have to go to formal things about once a month when I was younger...long story, no not pagents...but I owned ballet slippers to make me more comfy...they look like dressy flats and you can get them fairly cheap. I like cheap!

Katie would wear fancy shoes...but her school only allows tennis shoes.

Wow, she is growing up so fast and just beautiful!

You are telling me!!! She needs to stop it!

That's kinda what I was thinking too, something along the lines of this:

I really like your idea to put the title on the shirt A LOT!

(sorry I hope you don't mind my barging in)

that is adorable!!!!

What about going to Walmart and getting her ballet shoes this way she can wear them around the house or just to wear them too. When Nikki was little she wore ballet shoes in the spring and summer jus tp wear them.

That's kinda what I was thinking too, something along the lines of this:

Love this!! My daughter was born only last summer, and so we haven't really gotten to experience JoJo, but I always love what everyone does!

The board is slow today!! I just assume all of you are sewing away!

I'll go ahead and share to keep things going...I had my last class ever today!!! It's my last early morning, incredibly boring student lecture series!! I am ubber (sp?) excited!! Hopefully only a few more months of research, then the dreaded writing of the dissertation and I'll be Dr. Mom (I really want to stay home after I finish, so I like to joke that I'll be a very qualified stay-at-home mom)!!!

Soooo many cute things lately. I just skimmed since I had about 30 pages of catch up, but love Nikki's new photos and the Earth Day shirt.
I think we were still talking about clothes from India when I was last on. I went to my uncle's wedding on Saturday evening, and wore a salwar kameez. Here's a photo of myself, my dd Violet (half Indian), my new aunt Vicki, and my brother:

 

[jham]

I'm still pretty much a lurker trying to get stuff done! But I love all the amazing creations, old and new! Teresa, love Lydia's Wall-E dress but I really love Lydia in a tree photos!

I think that a white dress with red/orange/yellow/green/blue/violet ruffles would be FAB! You could even applique a rainbow on the bodice!

I was thinking the same thing. Do 7 ruffles in the rainbow colors
Violet
Indigo
Blue
Green
Yellow
Orange
Red
you could do the ruffled up dress, the portrait peasant rhumba version, or a simply sweet with a very ruffled skirt and a rainbow appliqued on the bodice. Stacy and I often think alike.

 

[Twins+2more]

It is WAY quiet here today....where is everyone???

As far as flip flops at a wedding. I would ask the bride what she thinks. I personally think that its a little bit casual for the actual walking down the isle, however perfectally fine for the reception. If it is a casual wedding and bride to be dosen't have a problem with it then But I would never do it, and just show up.

 

[HeatherSue]

My twincesses are still up. I was hopeing when the clock struck 10 they would turn in to sleeping beauty's. Guess not.

And I was just informed by twincess Sammie that twincess Emily is fraid to blush the toilet. Yes I spelt and said that right by her words atleast.

And i finally got the answer to the question I have had their whole almost 4 years. How long before i hear these words. (I go first because I am older. Answer 3 years 11 months 2 days. (today in fact.) Laughed till I cried

That is so funny! What a couple of cuties!

That's my girl! I just love that Wall-E dress.

See.. at least your characters go together. I wanted to make one with a bunch of different characters that are in the Mickey and Minnie's Magical Journey on Ice thingie. I think it might look kinda wierd having Simba and Ariel on the same dress huh?

I've had an idea for a dress like that floating around in my head for the last year or so. I just haven't had the ambition to go ahead and do that many appliques! I say go for it! It sounds like it will be really cute!

Hi, I have been reading this thread for weeks! You all do amazing work! I want to make my daughter a dress for Disney. We will be there in June! I love the style of this dress. Please tell me where I can get the pattern.
Thank you so much!!

!!! Make sure you share pictures of what you make!

TERESA! I saw Arminda's twin yesterday! I kid you not, I was walking down the platform for the monorail and passed one of the doors and there she was! As a matter of fact, I grabbed my mom's arm and pulled her back because I thought, "HEY! There's Arminda! That means Teresa's here somewhere!" I was gonna say hey! When I stepped back, I realized that it couldn't be Arminda because she was wearing a store bought princess dress. The girl looked JUST LIKE Arminda! It was almost scary!

That little stinker must have snuck off to Disney a little early! That's so funny that we think we see each other's kids around! I was positive that I saw Jeanne's son, Seth, in line for Goofy's Barnstormer last May. So, I kept talking to Tessa about Luke and his brother Seth loud enough so he could hear me. The poor kid must have thought I was nuts.

For those of you who have FB you can see the other ones with her 2 BFF's.

I'm sorry George is worried about his job. I hope everything works out okay.

I LOVE these pictures of Nikki! They're beautiful!!

.

The easter outfits are so pretty and I love the Earth day one! I was eyeing that fabric that you used on the Easter outfits today!

I would check with the bride. If she thinks flip flops would be okay, they could be really cute! Tessa wore flip flops in a wedding once. They weren't the foam kind or anything, but they were flip flops that I gussied up.

I'll go ahead and share to keep things going...I had my last class ever today!!! It's my last early morning, incredibly boring student lecture series!! I am ubber (sp?) excited!! Hopefully only a few more months of research, then the dreaded writing of the dissertation and I'll be Dr. Mom (I really want to stay home after I finish, so I like to joke that I'll be a very qualified stay-at-home mom)!!!

That is so cool!! I didn't realize you were going to school to be a doctor!

You both look so pretty! I just love those fabrics!

thanks for the ideas for the rainbow dress for my niece. I did tell my cousin ROYGBIV here I come! LOL
I guess i need to start collecting extra color fabric

Thanks for all the complements on nikki's pictures.

For the wedding that Jenna is going to be in she is going to wear a pair of white sandals. That way she can wear them throughout the Summer. Her dress is going to be floor length too.

Katie would wear fancy shoes...but her school only allows tennis shoes.

Jenna would wear dress shoes or boots everyday if it was allowed at her school. I think most schools have gone to tennis shoes.

Beautiful picture. I have to ask though, What is on your brother's tie? Is that a picture of an actual child he knows? If So where did he get that made at?

pssst- y'all know I didn't do the jojo outfit, right? I should have posted it with the pic but I just assumed everyone would know!

I went and got some ribbon for hairbows today..and found some that actually said "Make a Wish!" on them!!!

You have been so busy this week! Those look so cute.

 

[emcreative]

Lori, I love the dresses. Now, for the next part to make sense you have to know I'm a photographer. This is my little one for a couple things I did:

Okay I had to tell you that so when I gush over the pictures you won't think it's because I don't like dress, I love them! But what sticks out to me so much is:

1. Your daughter is a doll. She poses so well for the purpose of the picture! LOL How long has she been doing this?

2. OMG girl what camera are you using? It is so bright and clear! Are you using portrait settings and upping the saturation a smidge? GORGEOUS!

Photo gushing over now!

L*A*D*I*E*S:
My little tomboy, who really usually could care less about clothing unless it's a tee shirt from the boys department, told me today she wants a Lilo dress! OMG SHE WANTS CLOTHES! OMG SHE WANTS GIRLY CLOTHES!

Any ideas? I don't want it to be exactly like Lilo's dress because we're going at the end of July and it will be hot so the sleeves/super long dress would be a bit much. I kinda looked for some fabric today but didn't see any Lilo stuff.

 

[sweetstitches]

Okey Dokey...Double Layer Stripwork twirl skirt.

Very sweet of you to type these directions out. Thanks.

Here are both Ann and Andy.

They turned out really cute!

You did a great job on the Tink.

Here are the completed outfits for 6 yr old Joseph's Big Give!

They are going to be thrilled with those outfits. I love how you made Snow White work for a boy.

Update on Daniel - I know many of you continue to pray for my Daniel - he is doing pretty well right now as far as his health goes. His 2 big issues are weight loss ( he is getting sooooooo thin so he has no reserve if he were to get sick) and then just the damage from the tumor removal is resolving so slowly (posterior fossa syndrome) - I know too much compared to the others in our family, and sometimes that makes it so hard. He is still just very silly all the time and laughs and giggles at anything - makes him have a hard time with any school work they are trying to do with him.....but better than than being depressed and crying all the time, right??? Keep praying - he still has a long road of recovery!!!

Thanks friends!

You are a MUCH braver woman than I am. I doubt I would have made it to the top of the ladder.

A few weeks ago, I had the kids portraits made- I am just in LOVE with these. I had to take pics of the framed pictures. To reduce the glare, I had to take them slightly from the side.

All 3 hanging on my wall

Totally precious! You have adorable boys. I love barefoot portraits.

Doggie party

Great idea for a party! I'll have to remember it; it would definitely be a hit in this house.

Thanks - had to sew a lot , am moving in a couple weeks and need the extra income.

oh thanks I use a canon rebel xti - love it... always use the macro setting and try my best to only use natural shadows and light to do all pictures. she has been taking pics for me for a few years... she loves to smile....

Oooh I saw my first Frog Princess custom thingy today! I'm so excited, anyone else? I love that there will be a new princess!

What is a frog princess custom thingy?

I haven't posted this in awhile, but was this the dress you were looking for....

Love the puffing on this one!

Here is one that I did. It has an empire waist. The bow does not tie. I don't think this is the one you saw though. I never got Jenna to model for me.

Maybe I can get her to model for me when she comes home.

Cute! Is that a Simply Sweet with ruffles on the back or is it that ruffle dress people are talking about?

TOADSTOOL!!!! I came up with an idea for your different characters outfit! Of course, now I want to do it for my girls for our trip too! Who knows if I'll get it done but I think I like the idea anyway! What about doing a patchwork skirt with the tonal stripe fabric (it comes in lots of colors and Joann's carries it) and the different polka dot fabrics in all different colors and on some of the patches use plain white fabric with different character appliques on it? Then for the shirt you could use the title of the show you are going to see (I was thinking for me to do the shirt with the saying The Magical World of Disney)? I am kind of working this out in my mind but right now that is what I have. It might be kind of "busy" but I think that is okay for Disney! Now I just need a new embroidery machine so I can accomplish all that I have in my head right now! And even then don't know if it will be possible!

As you all know I have been wanting a new machine and I'm hoping that since I've mentioned it LOTS to my DH that maybe I will be getting one for Mother's Day but I just talked to one of my friends who also sews (and also the person Darren would go to to find out what to buy for me) that he hasn't even called her to find out. We usually don't buy presents for each other but I was still hoping....... Oh well, who knows, he could still surprise me I guess.

Thank you for the ideas. Unfortunately I am trying to work with stash fabric. I like the idea of the shirt too, but I'd probably only let her wear it for the show so that might be a waste? Idk.. maybe it would be okay to wear to other stuff too?

That's kinda what I was thinking too, something along the lines of this:

LOVE THIS!! Can someone tell me how you figure out how to do this kind of skirt? I can't afford a new pattern right now. I know there was a tutorial posted, but that was completely different than this right? I wouldn't want it too full so it would show off the characters.

Hi everyone, I see I am way behind on here. Will have to catch up later as I am also behind on my sewing list. Spent yesterday ripping out side seams in pants I sewed wrong. Hope to post those pics tomorrow. Hope everyong is doing well. Here is the first outfit for DD 7.

I love the jeans. That is too cute. My DD won't wear jeans though.
