My 2 girls between them are building up a little collection of princess dresses.


They have


Anna & Elsa (double set from Toys R Us - some very itchy material, especially on Elsa)

Rapunzel (ordered from Amazon in a desperate effort to get it for Christmas)

Merida from Brave (ASDA)

Sofia the first (ASDA)


The ASDA ones are ?12.50 and come with an accessory (Merida came with her bow and arrows, Sofia comes with her tiara, and I know their Rapunzel one comes with a hair piece, but it was sold out when I was trying to get it).


The Disney Store ones are ?30 (or ?60 for the "duluxe" versions), and IMO are not so nice.


ASDA for value and IMO they look the most like the ones in the films.




Can't quite believe I have started a thread about Disney dresses, but I have two daughters, and I know what it's like when they're desperate for these things, and wanted to mention ASDA in case anyone hasn't seen their stuff.

How's the size range and relative fit?


Little Saff just turned 5 yrs, but because she's on the ~98% for height/weight, she's wearing clothes for 8 yrs. We're already having trouble finding dressing up clothes, since many of the dressing up styles suitable for v young children stop around 6-8 yrs.


Disney Brand definitley runs small, so do many of the off-label clothes made over-seas. Even if they're long enough for her, they're often too narrow in the shoulders. :-(


I'm starting to wonder if I'd be better off buying 2nd hand semi-formal dresses (flower girl, junior bridesmaid, etc)?

we did a lot of shopping around for DD's Snow White dress a couple of years back and settled on the Asda one. But her Elsa and Anna dresses are Sainsbury's, which are very good - she also got a lovely witch dress from there last year.


Disney store dresses are awful, I would never buy from there, never the nicest and swooningly expensive! Their knickers are very good though, the only pants I have found that don't gape at the top of the leg, and not expensive either.

Saffron, just had a look at the Rapunzel dress and they do 2-3, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10.


I'm probably not the best person to comment on the fit, other than to say the ones we have seem fine.


I imagine the bigger sizes cost a bit more, but don't think they're very expensive.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
