Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

[tadamom]

At the top right of the Ebay home page is an icon for 'Advanced Search' - click it. The next screen you come to look down the far right column under FIND ITEMS and click 'items by seller'. On this screen, type in the boutique name in the box for the Ebay user's ID name. Exact matches and close matches will come up and then just either click on their 'About Me' icon or the store icon. Hope this helps!

IF I made "custom boutique wear" on eb@y or anywhere else, I would NOT want someone posting my eb@y store name or eb@y id on THIS site. I don't think I'd even want my custom clothing pictured here, IF I did custom Disn*y character clothing. Why? well, it's a c0pyright 1ssue and this is a Disn*y owned & operated website forum, right!?! ...
It's like putting a sign over your favorite seamstresses' or sellers' heads saying "Hey, Disn*y! Here they are." ...

I'm not trying to blame or argue "right & wrong" of the laws or the practices ...
I can see & understand both sides of that coin

All I know is that some/most of those ladies are just mothers that are simply trying to get by & aren't making enough outfits nor money to justify the risk of getting sued or even put out of business over, simply because it's easier to post someone's name directly, than it is to wait for a reply from someone personally.

I am NOT trying to upset anyone by saying any of this. It's just a thought to ponder.
Just bringing up the view from the other side of the coin. That's all.

Good Night to all.

I know one of the seller's mentioned above. And in that one case = she's a WAHM of two special-needs children, one of her little ones is actually handicapped. She can not go back to work outside the home; she can't afford the RN or RNA to babysit. She'd rather not do/sell character stuff, but that's what people what to buy & her non-character stuff does not sell. She's hardly making it each month as it is now. IF she lost her sewing/eb@y business over something like a simple post on a forum, she'd be seriously devastated. Besides, she has absolutely no hopes of any other income right now. She has no family or close friends or extra savings to fall back on. She can't get government aid, or even food stamps. They insurance hardly covers basic monthly medical needs, nor all their medications. Plus, it does not cover all of the monthly cost of her handicapped child's liquid diet.

IF it were me that had posted those names = I'd edit them all out, asap. No offense meant. I know you gals were just trying to be nice & share info. But there's a much bigger picture to think of here, too.
Perhaps we could ASK the sellers' if they want to post their names & pictures here = that way it's their own choice to take the risk.

Good Night to all.

Well, the one's that are made from Disney fabric's they are actually legally okay as long as they say it is made from disney fabric's, not by disney.. weird how the copyright stuff works but they are legally okay.. now the one's that are appliques are NOT okay and I wouldn't post their id here..

 

[jessica52877]

I would hate for anything to happen to anyone, but I would think if they are selling it on ebay then they are pretty noticable? Copyright is a funny thing, there is alot of okay and alot of not okay.

 

[Annaliese]

Technically, (that word is used here quite literally) ...
IF the fabric states that on the sides of the fabric that it is for non-commercial use = then it's use in commercially sold creations is still up for debate ... there are likely many on-going court cases over that issue right now.
Personally, I think it should be okay, but only if it's "home"-made/custom-made stuff, ya know, definitely NOT used in mass-production in someone else's factories. But, hey, I'm not a judge in any court.

I agree, if they're selling on Ebay they're not exactly hiding. Also, this site isn't Disney owned.

Hmmm that's an interesting point. Here I was thinking if I mentioned certain seller's I was doing them a favor by advertising their products. I have noticed that a lot of seller's don't advertise "disney" but instead will just advertise as Minnie or soemthing like that for their outfits that are red polka dot themed.
I also wonder if it is an artistic representation of one of the characters but not advertised as such if it breaks copy right violations... for example fabrics sewn to look like cinderella ... but not advertised as cinderella.

You're right though i woiuld hate to see someone's business or lively hood harmed by people that are fans of it.

exactly!


So many of these outfits are super cute! thanks for the information!

OMG! Those are awesome! If only I were that talented!!!

I see your point to a degree...however, first of all this is NOT a Disney owned forum. And I think it is FAR more likely that DIsney copyright monitors would be checking selling forums like eBay over this chat forum for potential violations.

As far as I know all of the sellers listed on this thread are eBay sellers. So, if they have their stuff listed on eBay I can't see that they would mind the additional exposure and increased sales which have been generated for them on this post. In fact, I have already made a purchase from one of the sellers listed by someone. I had never come across the seller before despite the fact that I have been searching in that category on ebay for quite awhile and I am a very experienced seller/buyer (over 300 FBs). So I think this thread (which I started BTW) is very helpful to both sellers and buyers.

I should also say that in my opinion I do not think the small-time mommy sewing operations for original custom Disney clothing is a lucrative market Disney would be overly concerned to be spending money trying to shut down. If I was a seller, particularly selling on eBay, I would LOVE the extra sales and attention generated by this thread to my auctions. In fact, at least a couple sellers have already posted their own ebay names/stores on this post.

Bottom line, I think most sellers would court the very small risk that Disney is going to spend time to send people into chat forums for potential copyright infringement and then further lawyers fees (very expensive) to try to shut someone down when in most cases (as you say yourself) they are not even making that much $ in the first place.

The benefit of exposure to the thousands of people who have already reviewed this thread and who may be drawn to make some purchases from them far outweights the risk.

Furthermore, if they already have their stuff with pics posted on eBay, what's the difference?

I agree that if they are on ebay, I am not worried about posting their names here. I am thinking about selling Disney custom stuff on ebay and am currently looking into the copywrite information. There was a woman in 02 or 03 who Disney went after on ebay for selling Disney stuff she made with their fabric. She won the court case with the idea being that when they sell the fabric they are expecting that something will be done with it.

I am not sure about people who applique images on.

I see nothing wrong with someone posting pictures of a sellers custom sets, once they purchase the outfit, it's all theirs and they can do whatever they want with it. As far as posting Ebay sellers name, I know most of the custom sellers are WAHM and would love to get there name out to bring in more bidders/buyers, which = to more money!!! I don't think anyone would get mad if a previous buyer recommended them to others.

I was following this post and was glad to see all the cute photos and info where I can purchase them.

Love seeing the great creativity of my fellow Dis'rs and the great finds of others who can't or don't have time to sew.

Anyone else have some cute pic's or hints where to find these great creations.

Sounds good to me! I usually go to Ebay and type in "custom" and then go to clothing. Then I go to to infants/toddlers but you can go to girls or boys. Then I just scroll through the list. I usually look at the newest listed. I look at the Ebay site once a day and look through the newest listed. If you just search for Disney or even Minne, Mickey or princess you may miss some because lots of people don't use those words in their titles.

You can Eb@y search for =
"custom boutique"
"custom boutique overalls" or "custom boutique o'alls"
"custom boutique overall" or "custom boutique o'all"

"custom boutique dress"
"custom boutique set"
"custom boutique pant" or "custom boutique capri"
"custom boutique top"

Also, note = some characters' names are purposely misspelled, but are still find-able ... I won't go into the reasons "WHY" people do it, but Perhaps, Try these tricks to find some great creations in a new search =

swap your "i's" for "!'s" = like "M!NN!E" or "M!CKEY" or even "D!SNEY"
swap your "uppercase i's" for "lowercase L's" = like "MlNNlE" or "MlCKEY" or "DlSNEY" or "DAlSY"

swap your "uppercase o's" for "0's" = like "ELM0" or "D0NALD" or "P00H" or "D0RA"
swap your "lowercase L's" for "1's" = like "E1mo" (not as commonly used)

or swap "a's" for "@'s" = like "DOR@"

and of course, swap "*'s" (asterisk/star) for just about any vowel or letter = like "M*CKEY" or "M*NN*E"

IF people have used these swaps in their titles or listings, it'll come up in a search, if you type in these ways.

Good Luck

I think if someone did all that for looking for an item then they have too much time on their hands... That's almost a full day of searching.....
