Fairy Costumes
Permalink   


Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a fairy costume that will fit my gumpy doll? As far as that goes can anyone tell me where to purchase a fairy costume for any of the Secrist Dolls?  I am new at this and don't know where to look for cute outfits for
my dolls.    I see so many dolls with cute outfits and costumes but I can't seem to find
any.  So I have resorted to getting outfits from department stores, but they do not have what I am realy looking for.   For instance my gumpy doll.  Any help anyone can
give will be greatly apreciated.
Thank You
smile

Sweet Pea 54, WHere do you live ? I went to Winter Wonderland Doll show in June and Collectablekids were there. www.collectablekids.com.au, I bought some lovely little ballerena outffits but you would have to put organza under the frill and attach little sleeves and maybe some floaty ribbons. Here in the 2bucka shops you can get butterflys for wings to, so you dont have to make them.weirdfaceJune M from Oz

Hi June
I live in South Carolina.  The town I live in has almost nothing except Wal-Mart,
and they do not carry anything hardly.  I live in a small town.
Everything is a minimum of an hour away to go anywhere to find anything.
Thank you for giving me the information!  Now to find ballerena outfits...
At least that is a start...I will give it a try.  Thank you so very much, you
are so very helpfull.  I realy don't know how to thank you properly so please
take my heartfelt thanks for all you have done.
Kathie

Kathie, got a local craft store like Michael's around?  They have a section where they sell teddy bears and assorted doll things and also have some costumes that work well on some of the Secrist dolls...

Thanks Pat but there isn't a Michaels here..  :(
Nearest one is 2 hours away.  Yuk!  I realy wish we
had more here...Where I live is nothing but resturants, Churches,
and Wal-Mart.  Wal-Mart doesn't carry much of anything that can
be used for dolls.  I realy do hate not having much here,  although it is

a quiet little town and a realy nice place to live. 

Thanks so much for suggesting Michaels though. clap.gif  tomarrow  we are going  to visit My sister in North Carolina, so if there is one there I will check it out

and hopefully find something there. I know she has a Hobby Lobby there, so
I will check that out as well.
Thank You Again!!!

Sweetpea,

I live in a town much like yours. About all we have is the Wal-mart and a Farm and Fleet store. You might try buying some fake flowers at Wal-mart and sewing the petals together to make a fairy costume. I did that for a Berenguer elf once.

Hi Heather
Thanks so much for telling me about the fake flowers!  I probably never would have thought about doing that at all.   I realy do apreciate the suggestion.  Now to search through them at Wal-Mart to see if I can find some that would look good.
Thanks again from the bottom of my heart.

sweetpea,

No problem. I am glad the suggestion helped. I know how it is when you have limited shopping options. I try to make Wal-mart work for everything because if it doesn't, I have to order online. Fake flowers work fairly well. I bought a bag of them on clearance for only a few dollars.

 BravoHeather, that's a great idea that I had not thought of... I have done that to make outfits for the mini bears I make, but had not thought about doing that with a doll.  Good for you!!
