    Evening!
    Doesn't seem to be many people around tonight.
    Does anyone know a good place to get a fairy princess dressing up outfit from for my 2yo?? We got her a peppa pig toy dressed as a fairy so she wants the same thing! My eldest wasn't into things like that when she was that age so i've never bought one before! :D

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    Welcome to the world of girls! My 7 year old daughter loves dressing up and we've often bought from Woolies. I love dressmaking and do loads of fancy dress stuff but often you're often cheaper buying ready made.
    The only problem is getting something for a 2 year old. Maybe you could have a bash a making something and just buy the fairy wings!!

    The only dress up things I've managed to get for my almost 2 year old is Upsy Daisy (In The Night Garden!)

    How about looking on eBay or even freecycle?

    Have you got an Asda/Walmart nearby. I get all my kids' dressing up stuff from there. Really good prices, loads of choice and I buy plenty - DD1's birthday is on Halloween and we go overboard every year!!!!!

    Thanks for the help!
    I couldn't find any on ebay. I don't know what freecycle is?

    Sorry I have no clue about fairy dresses for your dd, I wouldn't have a clue where to start looking other than eBay which you say you already tried. it does look as if some of the others had some good ideas though :)


    Just seen the announcement from Webby, I thought we were already at 600 seconds for pms? :confused:
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    if you have a Matalan that does the 'Matalan Party' section they have nice ones. Also George at Asda sometimes do them. Good luck with your search.

    Bella - hope things start improving for you. xxxx
    The Rock Chick, she say 'courtesy costs nowt' - spread the word! :D
