reveals her favourite picks for 2011 including hareem pants, a cotton scarf and a beautiful baby doll dress. Why not take her advice and look ...

I am trying to have my daughter a very sweet baby doll type dreess made & would like to use any color blue polka dot material that is good for a fancy dress. Cotton won't work. Can't seem to find it anywhere. I found 3 other colors @ Hobby Lobby but not blue/white. Any suggestions?

Try www.fabricmart.com
They have some nice pieces at discounted prices. You can also look at www.fabricclub.com. You mentioned chiffon, organza, etc...but you did not mention what type of material your were looking for...all of the above fabric types come in different fibers---for instance: there's polyester chiffon, silk, and blends.

If you're going to the trouble and expense to have something made then you should go for a natural fiber. Along those lines, try www.thaisilks.com---they have various types of silks at wholesale prices but they sell in small quantities to the public. Silk might sound expensive but since you're only making a little girl's dress which doesn't take alot of fabric, it's not too expensive and then it will be something that you can keep and pass down. All natural fibers are easily washable, just hang dry and an overall good choice.

If silk is a definite no-go then try lighter delicate cottons such as batiste, organdy, or lawn, they were favored choices in vintage children's clothing----for these fabrics I don't have a direct link but you can research online under heirloom fabrics. There is a huge market of stores online that cater to the heirloom community(people who make clothing using old fashioned techniques and fabrics) Again you should find a good deal on the small amount that you'll need for a child.

Offline, your resources kind of dry up depending upon what region you're located in. I believe that Joann's fabric is nationwide but I'm not sure about your area. Even if there is a mass fabric retailer in your area they may not have a huge selection.

If you decide not to take my advice and instead want polyester taffeta or satin, you might try your local Walmart for a small selection. They often carry a few colors in poly satin in their fabric section. Rayon is better than polyester but it is still not as good as a natural fiber and sometimes depending on the fabrication it can be as expensive or more than a natural fiber. Hope this helps!

Contrasting bodice with trim
Matching short leggings
Animal print baby doll top with lace petticoat net overlay

Please, no leggings!
I live California, so any local stores that you guys can think of?
My dress is a grey, black and white plaid baby-doll type of dress.
And I'd like to find some nice black stockings (maybe cotton type?) to go with it.
Thanks!
What about ones that go from the waist area to the toes, and not to the ankles only?

Price: $42.50 $42.50

I have a 24", hand-made, porcelain "Baby Bylo" doll. (I think that that's how my grandmother spelled it) And I was curious to know how much it might be worth. She has porcelain head and hands and a cloth body. She is dressed in a cotton "christening gown", also hand-made.

if she is a reproduction the price is up to the person who wants her. if she is an antique the sky is the limits. the bye lo was made by Grace Story Putnam....the face was masked from a deceased African American new born baby. if you look at your doll you will see the characteristics, like the nose and the mouth. she did a beautiful job making that baby eternally beautiful and the doll is still loved to this date. she designed a frog legged body for this doll...it makes it snugly and is very much like a new born body would be. you just have to love it.

My MIL and SIL love buying little outfits for my baby girl but they buy fancy frilly things like dresses with bonnets, impossible to put on shoes, and stiff items my baby can't move in. I don't dress my baby in them because she gets fussy when I "dress her up". I just want her to be comforatable so she wears cotton onesies, cotton pants, stretchsuits etc. Shoes just get kicked off or don't fit her little chubby feet to begin with. She hates hats/accessories etc. I know I am doing the right thing by dressing her for comfort and not treating her like a doll to play dress up with, but I feel awful that people buy her "pretty" things that just sit in the closet never to be worn, even once. One or two nice things for pictures is one thing, but an entire wardrobe of dresses is another. Should I say something to them so they don't waste their money or should I let them have their fun and not ruin it for them? I mentioned how comfy she likes to be dressed but they ignored me/kept buying

I hate that. People always buy those stupid outfits for baby showers and I have never used them either. My sister had a similar thing with room decor -- she's an interior designer and she wanted to get me all of these things for the room that were really more for the adults' taste than anything a baby would enjoy. She kept sending me links to stuff. I had lots of necessities on my registry, so eventually I just pointed out that there were a lot of useful items we needed, and that I wanted to get those taken care of before I worried about decorations. She got the hint. But I see what you are saying -- lots of people just like shopping for cute baby stuff so maybe let them have their fun if there are not things that you really need instead.
