Prestige costume or Disneyshopping?

[disynut]

I'm getting ready to buy DD's Snow White costume. The prices are the same on the costumes, but I'm wondering if one is better than the other(better-made, not "itchy", etc.)? Anybody have any experience with either one?

TIA,
Jen

A lot of people like the ones from a place that I think is called Mydressuptrunk or something very similar. They have said that the costumes are not itchy and I looked at their website and they look very pretty.

I have some of both, the prestige costumes tend not to have the itchy tulle but have a thicker stiffer material as the underskirt, but the disney costumes do sometimes have a layer of material between the tulle and the skin. I like the prestige costumes because they also have zippers and not the stretch material in the back that can get runs, but if you have a child that does not fit the average size this may not be so good. If you are worried about the itch, just get a slip for under the dress and that should solve the itch problem. Both wash up well but I have had more of the Disney costumes come apart at the seams so they do need a little more maintenance.

Thank you guys! I went to the dressuptrunk site, and they are cute and I can see where they'd be more comfortable, but I have a very "princessy princess" who I think would be a little disappointed that the snow white seemed to not be as fancy as the Prestige or Disney. I think the Prestige one is a little fancier than the Disney one, but the accessories are better on Disney. It even looks like the Prestige has a cape and the Disney doesn't. It was going to tip the scale if someone told me that one or the other was uncomfortable! Right now I"m trying to add the marathon tshirt to my cart at the disney site and it won't go(you'd think by now Disney would have their website issues under control, but their shopping site has always had bugs!) so I may just be going on and ordering the Prestige and picking up the accessories while we're at disney!

I'm not familiar with Prestige. We order from Little Dress Up Shop, and their costumes are so much nicer than Disney's - easier to get in and out of, better made, and less scratchy.
