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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
