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.

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
