Tips on princess dresses for bigger kids?

[Exile]

I'm goin to WDW in Jan and would like to get princess dresses for my two girls. The disney Store and World of Disney only carry sizes up to 12 and my oldest daughter takes a size 14. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a Size 10 gold Belle Dress - all the dresses I find are Size 7-8 and smaller. I don't understand why they don't make larger dresses for princesses of all sizes! (without paying an arm and a leg!!)

If anyone has any tips, please share them. I'm not looking for a brand new dress; gently used is fine.

Since you aren't going until January, try checking out the local party stores around Halloween. After Oct. 31st you may be able to get an XS adult princess costume 50% off.

Thanks for the suggestion!! I have given halloween some thought but the adult dresses are hard to find. I'm not sure if I have the nerve to wait until after Halloween, but in the meantime we have discussed appearing as 'Princess Katie' as an alternative.

I'm a big fan of Little Adventures dresses/costumes. They're all soft, no scratchy parts at all. I know they do make adult princess dresses, so you might have some luck with them (they sell through several online retailers such as http://www.mydressuptrunk.com and http://www.littledressupshop.com/

HTH!
