Let Them Eat Cake, Pre-Trip Report Part 2, Teen Princess Dresses

The three fancy teen princess dresses are all here and I took photos!

The first two are from PacificPlex, but I ordered them through Amazon.  The photos do not do these dresses justice.  The light in my basement is ish so the color is off a bit.  Both dresses come with a wrap which you can see hanging on the hangers.  I am going to have to make a slight modification in each of these dresses to make them fit perfectly but they are pretty close off the rack.


The detailing on the green peacock dress is really pretty  The peacock "feathers" are fabric and are appliqued onto the front and wrap around to the back.  There are also little gems sewn on through out the bodice.

She loves how there are a series of different colored underskirts that add to the overall look and color combination on the dress.

The blue dress has a sequined bodice that is just gorgeous and multi-colored underskirts that add to the look of the dress.

The back of this dress laces up, kind of like a corset, making it a lovely teen princess dress.

The third dress is by U.S. Fairytales, again ordered through amazon.  When we first saw this dress on the amazon webpage my first thought was it looked like a modern version of Cinderella.  However when we got it, we both thought it had more of an Ariel feel!  This dress fits perfect!  It also comes with a wrap.  This dress ended up being her favorite.



The dress looks more turquoise and the sequins reminded us of fish scales, while the skirts kind of look like ocean waves. The bodice detailing is beautiful.  This dress also laces up in the back. The wraps with the other two dresses are plain but the wrap for this dress has beads sewn on the edges.  Just gorgeous!

She wants to get capri or bike length leggins to wear under the dresses and will be wearing sandles or high top tennis shoes.  This princess has some tomboy in her.  She is also talking about dying her hair purple for the occasion.

I bought all of these dresses at a very discounted cost so my wallet is very happy too.  She looks and feels amazing in them and ultimately that was the goal, for her to feel like a princess.

Theme Park News

Photo by Mice Chat Well, The Disney Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser, closed. I never did get to go to the experience. It was just too much cost. Things in my life changed and I couldn’t justify the expense. Instead, I watched YouTube videos and read blogs about others experience at the Star Cruiser. I think I would have loved it, but I was able to see what others experienced, while saving myself $6000. I am including a link to a Mice Chat Blog about the closing. They did attend and have some great photos.  I was actually a little bit surprised by the news of the closure. Disney spent so much money and time on its creation and construction. Initially they said they had no plans to do anything with the building or experience. However, they have since said they may do a smaller, less intense version. I will keep an ear out about the future of the Halcyon.  I would like to go back to Disney at some point. They again raised prices and I feel like there may be one more big trip t

Disney Cosplay and Henna!

We recently went on vacation to the Unschoolers Waterpark Gathering at Kalahari Waterpark in Sandusky Ohio.   This is a great week of fun and friends!   I was able to put a little Disney in my trip on two occasions during the week and thought I would share. One day is designated as Cosplay day, so I wore yellow shoes, black shorts, a red and white polka dot shirt and my Minnie Mouse ears.   It was super cute and I received a lot of compliments.   I even made an unhappy little girls’ day happier and we had fun talking about how much we both love Minnie.   Unfortunately I did not manage to get a full body shot of my Cosplay, but I did manage to get a selfie of my ears and shirt by the hot tub.   It was very bright that day and I noticed that my own shadow looked like Minnie’s head, so I snapped a photo of that too.   The next night is henna and movie night.  I love henna night.  I love the way it smells and seeing all of the amazing designs that people create.  I howev

Fairy Godmother Cosplay

  I went to an Anime convention this past weekend with my daughter and some of her friends, along with one of my friends.  It was mostly anime but there were some costumes from other IP's, such as Disney.  I met several adult cosplayers who cosplay Disney character pretty often and enjoyed my conversations with them.  It got me thinking about my days as an older teen and twenty something and my favorite cosplayers back in the day.  I also did some cosplay back then and was feeling nostalgic.  As an 50+, plus sized adult, I generally do very generalized, non-specific cosplays.  But in recent years I have a dream cosplay of being Fairy Godmother from the original Cinderella animation from 1950.  I just adore her.  I started discussing it with my friend and wondering how my con experience would be different if I went in recognizable cosplay.  My friend and I sometimes get treated as "less than" at cons.  It feels ageist.  I am wondering how if that would change.   Talking to
