So tell me about dress-up clothes

I know a couple of you have mentioned having a collection of dress-up clothes. What do you have, where did you get it, does your DD like it?

I guess I was hoping more for a wide variety of dress-up clothes beyond just the princess outfits that I've seen.

Thank you!

    We have a big bin of dress up clothes that the kids love to use.  It was started when DD1 was about  1 and 1/2 years old.  Her older cousin made her a dress up box for Christmas.  The kids love to play with hats the most.  DD has a couple princess type outfits and tutus but it is mostly hand me downs like dance outfits, hats, scarves and aprons.  DD also has a couple pairs of heels that she loves to walk around in.

    DD loves her dress up clothes.  We have a few of the standard princess dresses.  We also have hats, shoes, necklaces, bracelets, cheerleader/pom poms, hula outfit, tutus, boa, etc.

    I have gotten a lot of stuff from resale shops.  I have also gotten stuff from Wal-Mart, Target, Big Lots, the dollar store, etc.

    DD has several tutus, a little apron, lots of hats, a boa, a Snow White dress, some gloves and a couple purses. She is still on the young side for this, but she adores it!!! We keep the collection in a storage ottoman. Most of the collection were gifts, but I did find some great things at Big Lots.

    She has a tutu and butterfly wings and some dress up jewelry and gloves. Right now its in storage for another month or two and then I will bring it out. (I made the tutu and the wings came from the dollar tree store).

    Now my sister got her about 7 or 8 costumes after Halloween was over for like 75% off, so basically a couple bucks each is what it ended up being. She is giving them to her for her birthday though. I think she got tinkerbell, Dorothy, pirate, Little Bo Peep.... just to name a few.

    I got DD some used super dressy dresses at consignment shops that are 1-2 sizes too big for DD.  She loves them and I don't mind so much if she wants to wear them out in public.

    My girls have TONS of dress up cloths!  MIL bought all of it for them.  Most of the jewelry, tiaras, boas, wands, butterfly wings came from Claires in the mall.  She got a lot of the dresses and tutus at Marshalls or TJMaxx.  Target has some cute stuff too!  MIL also made a lot of the head pieces and tutus.... pretty easy.

    We have a ton of stuff. We mostly get it as gifts since DD rarely leaves the house in "normal" clothes. This Halloween I'm going to stock up on the clearance sales and buy her more animal costumes. The neighbor boy and her run around dressed up as a monkey and a lion whenever the weather is cool enough.

    When last Halloween was over, my sister also stocked up on costumes for her DS when they went 50%-75% off.  He has tons of dress-up costumes now:  firefighter, doctor, policeman, construction worker (the last time we were over there playing with them, I joked that we should all dress up like the Village People...LOL!), and several character ones (Woody, Buzz, GI Joe, Transformers, Power Rangers, etc.) 

    I'm hoping to do the same this year!

    I so was not up on this.  Then I started noticing basically all little girls have this! DD doesn't seem very concerned, but she does love to put on the little fake plastic jewelry (just the ones that aren't choking hazards :D) so we give her the little sunglasses and necklaces and bracelets. We really need to get to work on her fake wardrobe! :D
