Elsa dress- so close and yet so far

[bronxgirl]

We had some time to kill so we stopped in the Disney Store and they just got in Elsa dresses. Woo hoo!! Except, they were only in size 7/8 which is WAY too big for DD. Whomp whomp. BTW this totally proves that I have fallen for Disney's tactics b/c I never would have spent $50 on this dress if they were easy to get. #sucker

Have you looked at the Little Dress Up Shop Elsa dresses? It could be a good alternative.

And that's super frustrating!

If you are already willing to spend $50. Try etsy. www.etsy.com/listing/190185652/elsa-dress-elsa-inspired-girls-dress?ref=sr_gallery_3&ga_search_query=elsa+dress&ga_ship_to=US&ga_ref=auto1&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

I second the Little Dress Up Shop ones. You can get both Anna and Elsa dresses for $54.

Third this! We received ours and the quality and customer service was fabulous! Highly recommended.

7/8 is the size I need! Was it the Disney Store at Times Square or elsewhere?

We have the Little Dress Up Shop dresses as well. They're great.

Doesn't matter, they'll still want it. DD had never seen a Disney movie but when she was around age 3, she wanted ALL THE PRINCESSES!

well kari, here is the truly pathetic part. Although DD would love an Elsa dress she isn't pushing for one and will be fine without it. I'm the one (and now DH too) who was excited about the dress which is solely because they are hard to find. When they wre first released and many available I thought they were pretty but couldn't imagine paying $50 for it.

Good luck with that! DD started talking about Elmo long before she ever saw Sesame St.

If you call they will probably ship it to you.

[ilikedonuts]

It shits glitter everywhere.(Worse then any other dress we've had/have). One of the other non-Disney versions might save your house from glitter overload!

Disney said they are hoping to have all stores (and their website) fully stocked by the end of this month or sometime in August. Hopefully they follow through!

This is where we got ours as well. We got them last week and they are great.

Ha wait until he is older. He will absolutely know from daycare/school. DD knows stuff from all sorts of movies and shows I know she's never seen with me.

Hahaha...maybe less or later, but it'll still happen.  Books, friends, displays at stores, etc.  marketing is everywhere, unless he lives in a bubble.  

We don't have cable, DS only watches PBS kids, and he doesn't go to daycare, but he still knows/wants character things.

Guys! Let me live in my dream world!

We were at Target in the pouch aisle, and E pointed to the Earth's Best pouches with Sesame Street characters on them and said, "Ernie!" He has never seen Sesame Street, and there are no TVs at daycare. I have no idea where he picked it up.

Oh they don't watch tv at daycare. I meant from talking to the other kids.

[ringstrue]

I recently got DD an Elsa dress on Ebay for $25 and free shipping.

Oh yeah, I assumed you meant from other kids. I was just saying that even at less than two years old, it happens somehow.

So I had convinced myself that by the time DD's August birthday rolled around that Disney would have their shit together regarding Frozen stuff. Still?! This crap is STILL out of stock and hard to come by? Wtf!

Too bad the cute Little Dress Up Shop ones are on backorder in her size till past her birthday too. Gah. Here's hoping they can get it in the stores in the next month or else she'll just get it for Christmas.

[bronxgirl]

I saw a cute Elsa dress on Etsy that looked fairly similar to the Disney one and I think it was under $30.
