Okay... After a night's sleep, I've rethought the purple princess toile for DD.
We also have a DS (who will be 6 when we go to WDW next June), and I'm famous for dressing DD & DS in matching clothes. When they were a little younger, I was always buying them those cute little matching brother/sister outfits that you can find on-line at places like CWD Kids & Storybook Heirlooms. Sometimes, I could find matching outfits at Gymboree & even JCPenney's & Belk too. (They've had the cutest Easter & Christmas outfits!) However, as they've gotten older, it's been harder to find true matching/coordinating (same fabric) outfits, and I've had to get creative. This past Easter, they wore sage green, &, the previous Easter, they wore lavender. I found a cute dress for DD & then put DS in a matching lavender Polo shirt. (All previous holidays, DD has had to wear blues & greens to match DS, so I decided it was time that she had a Easter dress in her fav color.) While DS was content to wear his lavender shirt a year ago (year 2006), this year (2007), he really, really doesn't like wearing it - even though it still fits. He'll wear it, but it's so
not his favorite thing to wear on Sunday mornings just so he'll match his sister.
So, what's the point of the above ramble?
When we go to WDW, all 4 of us match/coordinate. Last year, on our CRT day, DD had a light blue, yellow, & white Cinderella t-shirt w/ navy shorts which she wore until it was time to change into her Cinderella princess costume. DS wore a matching light blue t-shirt w/ white & yellow stripes w/ navy shorts while DH & I wore white shirts w/ navy shorts.
So, now I'm thinking, that if I find/purchase the gorgeous lavender princess toile fabric, I'm not going to find matching shirts/outfits for the rest of us. I know I
could find lavender shirts for DH & DS, but DS wouldn't be happy
at all. (And I'm not sure DH would either!
) And, even though CRT is a "princess" meal, I still want DS to feel special too. (Last year, I bought a special "Dash" from the Incredibles ballcap for him to wear on our CRT day. The previous year, he was 3 years old, and he wore a Peter Pan costume to CRT while DD wore a Tinkerbell costume.) And I'm thinking that if I make DS wear a lavender polo shirt to CRT so that he'll match his sister, it's just really not going to be fun for him at all.
Gosh! I'm still rambling aren't I?
The point of this post?
When I was looking for the lavender princess toile, I came across some blue & white Cinderella toile fabric. However, now, I can't find it! Was I dreaming it? Or, is there really a blue & white Cinderella toile out there? If so, this would be so perfect!
DD would get a darling sundress in a princess fabric. (And I love, love, love toile!) And I could easily match DS (and DH & myself too) to DD's outfit. I can get a light blue shirt for DS & put one of his fav characters on the shirt which would make him happy, and, then, he could have a "special" outfit too. And we could all coordinate which would satisfy my "matching" fetish!
So, help, please! Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
