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.

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 won...

Let Them Eat Cake, Pre-Trip Report Part 4

This is my last pre-trip report!  I meant to keep up with this more but it has been so busy these last couple weeks. I ordered two T-shirts for my husband and I to wear during our trip. I created 20th anniversary shirts over at  Zazzle . They turned out really cute! They are a pale yellow because my husband said he didn't want white, and say "Celebrating 20 Magical Years together" with a picture of old school Mickey and Minnie giving a smooch. Zazzle T-shirts "Celebrating 20 Magical years together" I also made two T-shirts for hubby and I to wear on our daughter’s Birthday from Custom Ink .   I chose them because they had a stock tiara design that I liked.   I think these shirts turned out super cute too.   I double checked with my husband before we had them printed to make sure the design was not too girly for him.   I chose purple and green because these are our daughter’s favorite colors.  They say "My Princess is Sweet 16" with a tiara ...

Home Made Mickey Waffles

I usually make eggnog pancakes for Christmas morning, but I waited too long to get eggnog and it was all sold out.  I remembered that I purchased a Mickey waffle maker (why have I not been using this appliance?) and I thought Ahh, holiday Mickey waffles!  I just used a regular boxed waffle flour but added a little vanilla extract and green and red food dye!  Very festive! Also on the menu was omelet roll, potato casserole, fruit salad, candied bacon, and cranberry sauce.  It was all super yummy!
