Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[SallyfromDE]

WAIT! There are people that think we're bad parents because we dress our kids up as cute as buttons and allow them to feel like absolute princes and princesses during their magical trips to Disney World? Really? That's just... well... stupid!

I'd hate to see what thier kids look like!!

Oh yes, we are serious. There are those who's "hobby" it is to make fun. Sometimes even being cruel and mocking children.

The truly sad part, it's because these people has such a low esteme for themselves that they have to make fun of other people to make themselves feel better.

My DD had on a quilted jacket I made her about a year ago at school yesterday with mostly Disney fabrics. One of her friends told her Pooh is for babies. They are 6 years old. I told DD I would make her one with all dogs.

This jacket is right up my alley. I love making these! I haven't done one in awhile. I rarely make anything with Pooh, I'm not a fan, but there are some fabrics that I love! But I always told Kirsta they the characters were friends.

My ds is almost 8 now and he still is pretty content not being influenced by others. When he was three or four years and you asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up his answer was "just Ben." He was and still is happy and content with who he is and doesn't seem to be influenced by others. And I'm still a really protective mother who goes outside when he goes outside to play so that if do see him mimic some other child's untoward behavior I can correct him right away. It works for us and I have a feeling with what you have instilled thus far this will last well beyond the Kindergarten years.

My Neice Courtney was always like this. She ended up being the most popular kid in HS because she never cared who you were, what you looked like or where you came from. If you were her friend, you were her friend and everyone else had to be accepting of them. She loves Belle, and wants a summer top to looke like Belles dress. Her prom dress even looked like Belles gown.

Since I'm not writing a trip report for our October trip, I'll post this video on here. This is what happened when Drizella saw Arminda in her Drizella dress. Then, when Anastasia saw Lydia in her Anastasia dress.

It was GREAT!!!

Thank you for posting that! It is priceless! And I contend it's the most fun you can have at Disney! Wish we could have been there at the same time with Katie as Lady Tremaine! Maybe next time we should all go at the same time!

LOVE little Anastasia's red hair!

Megan loves the video! Soooo cute!

Megan also says the jacket is totally cool.

That's a bummer. Why is it that people just can't be accepting of what others enjoy and be happy for them. Does it really start at age 6????

I think it starts as soon as they start school. Both of my kids are pretty "young" for their age, and they both took some teasing over it in K and 1st. No one gives DS a hard time about being the only one still into legos or not interested in girls because he's a good athlete and that goes a long way in the social world of adolescent boys, but DD has struggled at times with being the girl still into Dora when the other girls had moved on to Bratz, or still wanting Princess clothes when "everyone else" wanted Hannah Montana.

Absolutely ADORABLE!!! I love those kids! Aren't they just the cutest little things??

I think our lines got crossed here or something.

I wasn't speaking of you when I said "something missing"- I'm sorry if you felt it was directed at you! I meant "Your" as in the people who were behaving that way (what I would say to them), not as in YOU personally, and looking back and rereading I can see how it might have been misinterpreted. I was TOTALLY talking about others who felt the need to cut someone down. I I think you and I were in agreement about it not being right to hurt a child's feelings. I wouldn't agree with someone's bad behavior, and then carry on with it myself.

And I surely wouldn't tell you that I felt you were wrong in your own opinion! I'll be the FIRST to admit everyone doesn't agree with me, and I could be the one whose thinking is off. Feeling sorry for someone and feeling sympathy are two different things in my opinion- I was in NO way excusing the behavior, nor saying anger would be the wrong reaction.

I'm a bit upset that the first time I've been here in weeks I seem to have managed to unintentionally hurt someone, so I think maybe I should just step back for a while and reassess.

Mostly I'm a bit alarmed you thought I would attack you here (or at all). I'm very sorry if you misinterpreted what I was saying, and if I wasn't clear on who I was referring to.

Don't leave just because someone mis-read what you said and posted a flame. You certainly weren't attacing & I totally got what you said & was about to post my agreement. It is fine for people to have disagreements, but they need to remember that there are all kinds of people in the world and to show respect even when disagreeing.

My dd is 7 and will NOT wear princesses or even customs to school anymore, she feels they are baby-ish. She will wear them begrudingly at Disney but that is more to humor me. We live about an hour outside of NYC so I sometimes think that where we live encourages her to grow up a bit faster than in other parts of the US. She is also in 2nd grade, which I have learned is earlier than some areas, someone I know in another state has 7 yr olds in K We are all different and making fun of anyone should not be tolerated, kid to kid, adult to kid or on chat boards too LOL

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

No, sorry I'm not.



Don't go anywhere! i've been wondering where you were! I thought I heard that you got a new puppy that we haven't seen pics of either! I need to open a facebook page for all of my disboutique friends so I can keep up with you guys more!

I have been trying to add the disboutiquers to my facebook friends. There are a lot of us!


I think it is odd that there is a website where we are made fun of.

Everyone here is kind and supportive, I love the creativity I see and it is a wonderful place to ask questions. Usually someone posts at least one great solution or helpful hint.

Since it looks like I am going to "take the heat" for stating my opinion. I would like to clarify what I said. For those that don't know and for those that do. My dd's picture was posted elsewhere for the purpose of making fun. For whatever reason these "adults" zeroed in on her to be the butt of their jokes.

So, while normally I may try and "feel sorry" for people like that, not in this case. THAT is all. No "flame".

Thanks for posting for this! I love it! In fact, it made me tear up! What a priceless memory for her girls! My DD's loved watching this with me!

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Yay! I finally have a facebook account for friending all of you! so, please friend me! My name one their is disneygirlsanddrew rochelle. I don't have pics uploaded to that account yet. i'll try to work on that.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Is there a way to have my regular facebook account and my new one open at the same time? Hmmm...maybe this won't work out the way I thought it would...........

 

[mommy2allgirls]

Can I ask you ladies a ?

My daughter has two Cars pillowcase dresses and she would like to wear them when we go to WDW but we are going in December. Would it look weird if I put the dresses over jeans? I don't sew so the Jeans would just be plain. Please be honest, thoughts?

I think regular jeans would be fine. If you think that's too plain I bet you could find iron on patches at the fabric or craft store. Matching legging would be cute too. I'm assuming you'll be putting a turtle neck or long sleeved shirt under the dress too so maybe you could match the color of the shirt and leggings.

Just my two cents!

Many thanks! We have a lot of fun stalking characters and plotting how to have the right costume along with us. It's a lot of fun then doing the scrapbook pages when we get home.

I prefer not to count the actual number. There are those who watch these boards who think it makes me a bad parent...... Seriously.......we have a BALL with it, but I guess that doesn't matter.......

That is awful. Personally, I wish I could sew like you so that my dd could have the amazing experiences you are giving your dd. She will have so many experiences and hopefully will enjoy sewing as much as you do.
I think it is wonderful.

I wish that I had half the talent that all of you have. I love looking at your customs and thinking about what it would be like to have my dd wear those at Disney. Sad thing is, I have 20 days to go and about 8 unfinished outfits around here. I'm starting to think that my kids won't have the experience at Disney that I wanted them to have.

Personally, with all the time and energy those people spend complaining, think of what they could accomplish if they turned that negative energy into positive energy. I actually feel sad for them.

Not at all! We do tees, leggings, jeans or tights under pillowcase dresses all the time.

I am glad to hear that! Thanks!

 

[livndisney]

I am glad to hear that! Thanks!

Forgot to add-Layers in December is usually a good idea as it may warm up in the afternoons, so pillowcase dresses are perfect!
