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
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.June 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
Hi June Just wanted to let you know that the link you gave me in your reply did not work. Just thought you would want to know. Thanks again for all the help you gave me. I will give that a try... ~Hugs~
Can you buy the Australian Dolls Bears and Collectable Magazine over there. Sydney Phone No 02 96279782. They sell Secrist Kits and I think they are under Reborn Supplies. Did you type it in to search the web? They were only $5 at the show Ozzy dollars that is.June M
I am not sure if I can get that magazine over here. I have never heard of it till now. I am quite new to reborning and newborning. I didn't try to type it in the address bar at the top.. OOPS ! I will try that though. I just clicked on the link. It will be wonderfull if I can get it to come up. Thanks Again for everything. Kathie
Sweet Pea, my 2nd favourite flower, The Rose comes 1st. My Mother had 210 rose trees. I,m glad you found it. I,m not much with the net yet either, but I,m learning.June M from Oz.
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. 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!!!
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.
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.
Heather, 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!!
