fairytale party in 3 weeks - help!

[fransmom]

please bear with me as this sounds vaguely silly - even to me! 0my dd has been invited to a fairytale party and she is to go as her fave character. i have not had to take her to a themed party before and am now panicking slightly.can she go as a character that isn't from a fairy tale?! and where can i get a costume from???????

see - i said it sounded silly

woolworths do lots of dressing up clothes M&S Tesco's and Asda do too if you can spare £15 I would just buy an outfit ime these seem to be what is worn

I go for any storybook charcater. DD had these theme for her party this year. She had a Red Riding Hood costume from ebay, and I made a basket out of card and mesh type material, with play food on top covered with a napkin.

Or what about princesses or fairies - lots of costumes for £10-£15 a time in Woolworths and Asda. More expensive ones in Disney Store. M&S do fancy dress too, as do Adams and ELC/Toys R Us, etc. Infact most children's clothes and toy shops.

Or if you are practical you could make one.

brill thanx spidermama!

hows u? i remember posting on one of your threads but now cannot find it

asda do cheap dressing up cozzies i picked a rainbow fairy one with wings and a wand for 6 quid last year try there

Woolworths

sleeping beauty - wear a pretty nightdress if she has one?

Any princess dressing up - can be any one of a number of princesses

red hooded cape (hoody/anorak...) and basket, little red riding hood

ears, one leg of tights stuffed as a tail, eyeliner whiskers and wellies - puss in boots

any of those any good?

hulababy - all the cozzies are from 3 years she is only two. why don't places like that do smaller ones too?>

buy wings from elc, add tiara and wand - tinkerbelle. Will fit her for years too

thank you looks like i'm going up to town at weekend then!

Many of the age 3-4 come up small though. DD had the Tinkerbell dress when she was 2 and it fit fine.

from woolies? sorry

It was from either Woolworths or Mothercare, can't remember which.

dd had her first dress up from mothercare was 3 years and she was younger but it kinda fitted her

Red riding hood is easy if you (or someone you know) can run up a quick red cape and hood.

Or yes as others say, Snow White, Cinderella etc are from fairy tales.

Asda and Sainsbo's sell costumes in tiny sizes. They ofetn come up small too, DD had a Belle dress in 3-5 but it would fit a 2yo frankly (and certainly not any 5yo I know lol)

dp bought her a generic fairy outfit from adams and it cost him £18 for a dress type thingy, a wand and a little fairy bag

i wish i'd known about the asda one - could've saved a bundle!

ps he said she can go as a tooth fairy. not sure...... does it count?

also went to woolies and there was a full fifi and the flowertots outfit, can't remember how much but not sure if dd would've worn it lol thanx for all help x much appreciated x fm

I am sure the tooth fairy will be fine Hope she has a lovely time!

thanx hulababy! have never been to fancy dress party myself ( i obv haven't lived!) so wasn't too sure
