Kids "Minnie Dress" at Grand Floridan Summer Lace or Sandy Cove Gift and Sundry Shop

[jediagh]

I can't recall which of those 2 shops had it but it was a kids minnie dress but unlike anything I have ever seen before.

It looked like this

but it was white with red dots instead and very elegant looking. This was 2 years ago when we were en route to the 1900 Park Fare for dinner. We told ourselves we would stop by afterwards. But alas we did not and by the time we got to out room and called the shop was closed. We did not see that dress in any other shop anywhere else on Disney.

I have never been able to track down an image of it & my memory of it is sadly fading. I think now the image I have is more what I wanted it to look like vs what it really looks like.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Does anyone have any pics of it?

Thanks!

Are you maybe talking about this one? Sorry, it was a little wrinkled when I pulled it out of the closet to take the picture. We bought it at Disneyland, but I know I also saw it in the Grand Floridian store:

It's been a while but I think that is the one. I don't recall the minnie on the bottom of the dress. Any idea if it's still for sale at the GFR or if it can be ordered online?

I'm pretty sure it was still available at the Grand Floridian last December because I remember asking DD if she wanted me to buy her one in a bigger size for when she outgrew hers (she didn't as she had her eyes on some other things). I've never seen it at the Disney Store online. When we were at DL last summer, it was in a lot of the stores, but at WDW last December, I don't really recall seeing it anywhere but the GF. That makes me wonder if it might have been a last summer style that they were phasing out. If you send the photo to Disney merchandising, I'm sure if they still sell it at the GF, that they can find it for you.

It really is a beautiful dress on. DD and one of her friends both have them. The only problem with it is that the fabric does wrinkle...alot!

FYI...
I just got back from DisneyWorld last week (1st week of SEP 2012) and the GF no longer has this dress. GF Summer Lace said they did not carry it and they are located on the 2nd floor of GF which back in 2010 I did NOT visit. So it must have been Sandy Cove (1st floor gift shop) that carried it. Sadly Sandy Cove was boarded up for remodeling. Sandy Cove suggested I go to DTD to the main store to get help on the dress.

So I went to the DTD store and the information desk helped me out. The dress in picture above was discontinued in 2011. I have the SKU somewhere in all my papers from the trip. The dress that replaced it (again I have the sku, just need to find it) looks similar but not the same.

The new dress has a red belt/bow that goes around the waist. The mini is a bit different as well. I did not get it for DDs as the red belt/bow gives the dress a completely different look. The belt/bow is not removable and the older dress had a flare of elegance while this new one looks more like little girl dress. Oh well.
