Disboutiquers Part 15 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[xdanielleax]

Anyone looking for pettiskirts??

If so let me know. I have a small and a medium that have to find a new home. They are brand new and never been worn.

I'm attempting to make my 1st pettiskirt. It is very time consuming. Now I can understand why people just buy them..lol..

You know, if I found the boots, and got the picture with the pengiun, what on Earth would I obsess about????

I do have a piece of white stretch satin here. I'm still entertaining the idea of making spats (shoe covers) since that's what Mary wears in the park. And I'm just going to make the new Mary costume nice and long to take the view away from the shoes.

Thanks to the person who posted the link to instructions on shoe covers! I bookmarked it in case I go that direction...

Trying again - now I am obessessed with finding your boots! Not as cute as the other pair, but they might do:

The other, more Victorain pair are Funtasma Victorian lace up boots by Pleaser USA. Besides the Funtasma line of shoes for theater, Pleaser USA makes some um . . . interesting shoes. (think sexy costumes) It seems that the Victorian boot is now only made starting at size 6. But I found it for as low as $32.00 - maybe instead of cutting her foot off, you could pad it to make it grow!!! Good luck!!

I have to say, I love your persistence!!! Thank you! The pair you linked is the same boot we had before, the same the link had this morning. I just called to see if they really have it and am waiting for a call back..... Pleaser USA does do a lot of adult stuff. That first pair I ordered was from a store that specialized in those on Ebay. But they are adorable, modest children's boots..... I'll keep you posted! Thanks again!

Marah text me this afternoon asking if I can please ask you all to pray for her girls. Something happend on their trip and it is not going so well. I think if we all send so pixi dust that way it just might help. Nothing seems to be going right for them. Thank you for your help thoughts and prayers.

Melissa

I'm so sorry to hear this! Hope things turn around quickly for them!!!

Well, I wasn't going to order until I knew if they really had them. I called, but had to leave a message..... So I decided to see what would happen if I added them to my cart.... I get a message saying they are not available..... DANG IT!!!!

Thanks to everyone trying to help me figure this out!

Steph! You rock...I just got the Vida this week (that sounds like I got some funny illness) and was still not really getting some of it. I have to sew something in my head first before I even start to cut! Wierd..I know...but I can tell your pics are really going to help. I had looked at Linnette's but with it being a CASE I was getting confused...again weird! So thank you for this!

Something about your post got me thinking and I then I went and checked out your ebay listings and then I was like ...waitaminute! I KNOW who this is! I bought 2 sun dresses from you last year in April. One has Mickey and Pluto on the bodice and the other is white with classic pooh along the hem.

familiar??



If memory serves me correctly ages ago (more than a year) I got in a bunch of hot water cause I posted "these amazing custom dresses on ebay" and since you use your daughter as your model they asked me to delete my post since it was of someone elses child.

small world....

so my next question- I think I own both those patterns, i know I own the 9384, I also have 4949, I even have cinderella 9383...I seem to be collecting them, as I have yet to make even one. But our next trip is next May, DD will be 4- do you think it's worth the effort for a 4 year old or should I go with the 5385 (says easy to sew) or even the 4949 I think, she is just starting to wear 3Ts now, so Im guessing she will be wearing 3T, maaybe 4T, and then my next question- I want to make it and have it fit,- if I start this in Feb is that too early?
If I do one of the more complicated patterns Im wondering if I should do the bodice in muslin first....

Well, first off, thanks for the nice post! It's fun to run across my customers. I actually found one in the Liberty Tree Tavern last December. I recognized the dresses her daughters were wearing! Your daughter is adorable, thank you for posting the pictures!
I don't know how much you sew, but I do consider Cinderella 9383 to be one of the most complicated costume patterns I've ever used. I don't think your daughter is too young, but if you decide to tackle it, give yourself PLENTY of time. My daughter wsas 4 when I did it for the first time, and it's still one of my favorite costumes. I did it again last year, but it's a HUGE project.

It is very important that it fit well, or the sleeves will slide right off her shoulders. If you have questions as you tackle it, feel free to drop me a line.

I do consider the other princess costume patterns to be an easier level of sewing.

Here's that pattern in 2 versions:

Until you've made any of these patterns, I do recommend making your bodice from cheap fabric first to check the fit.

Good luck! Thanks for posting and bringing me an afternoon smile!

My three year old daughter just walked in and saw the pictures. She said, "Look, there is Cinderella!" Those dresses are amazing! I can't imagine even trying one, let alone one coming out so beautifully!

Hey gals! Matt decided on Sunday to move our trip up. We leave Aug. 24!

I have been sewing the past couple of days, pretty well only time I've had my machine out all summer. I made this for me last night. It calls for a drawstring right below bust. I'm afraid I'll mess it up, but the bust isn't quite right. It may fix it. What do you think?

I really like that!! You look great!! Is that from a commercial pattern?

ETA... Nevermind on the pattern ? I saw further down

I'm in rare form - I have the worst sunburn of my life too. I had to venture out today looking for a lidocane spray for some relief. Hobby Lobby was on the way to Target.

FrankenGoofy is on the pantleg of the boys set. The other pantleg says Not So Scary but it didn't photograph well. Here's a closeup

Take some Advil (or ibuprofen of any brand) for the sunburn, it will help with the pain some. Love that outfit too!

Sending lots of prayers her way. I hope it all works out.

Speaking of Marah - has anyone heard from her today? Are things any better for them yet?

Many thanks! We've been at this so long, I think my daughter rather identifies herself as Cinderella.... I plan a scrapbook one day devoted entirely to Cinderella!

You know, it's not really that it's harder to work with satin or anything, you just need to get the pattern fit right before cutting into your more expensive fabric.....

And as for finding my boots, would you settle for my undying devotion????

I have seen the Wooden Soldier ones. They are a little pricey, but I'm conisdering it. They are ivory though, so I'm not sure how they will work with the white dress..... I would probably have done it already if they were pure white!

Does anyone know if the Wooden Soldier shoes run fairly true to size????

The girls and their rooms are adorable. I'm so glad to catch up with you!

I did see that they were Ivory and not white and thought that might be an issue....they have had them in white in the past...so I called them and they DO have some in white...here are their sizes
childrens- 6,8,9,10,12,13,10.5
youth-1,6
she said to measure her foot in inches and give them a call..
I have not purchased their shoes...but I LOVE their catalog!


I think I need to live in the South, no one around here wears such grand dresses.....
I send Megan to church in dresses and her Feliz gets a LOT of attention, it's like they've never seen ruffles. If she wore a petti to church they would think she wore her "play dress up" clothes to church LOL.

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Has anyone used the Frog Legs and Ponytail dress pattern? I'm wanting to make a dress for my daughter for disney. All of you seem to be experts!! I would love your opinion on these.

Thanks!

I have used these patterns and they are super easy. A great buy if you ask me.

That would be PERFECT, and I am ready to spend that if I have to, but the youth 1 and 6 doesn't look promising.... I think I need a 2 or 3. She might be able to squeeze into the 1, but at that price, I want something that will fit for a bit. They would be very pretty at Christmas too....

I'll measure her foot when she gets home from VBS tonight and call in the AM.

Is it just me??????????? Or are the shoe gods telling me to give up????

Many thanks again for everyone who's looking!
