Dress Up

Little Girl is getting more and more interested in dressing up. I've been looking for simple and non-character (a.k.a. cheaper) ways to do this. These tiara and tutu patterns look pretty simple and you can make something princess-y (if needed) without having to help her figure out which Disney Princess she identifies with. Here are instructions to make fairy wings. Not in the mood to make something? Chinatown has cheap n' fancy brocade mary janes, parasols and brocade jackets. Most party stores have fabric leis and kid's hula skirts right now. And the good ol' 99 cent store has plastic fireman and construction hats.
