| If you are in Auckland, Geoff's Emporium have lots of dress up stuff & cheap so its worth checking out if you are in AK. |

| I saw some little Christmas outfits at K-Mart, but not sure if they were just baby sizes or if they had older kids' sizes too... |

i cant find any on trade me theres one but the size is wrong! lol maybe im looking in the wrong bit? Geoffs Emporium burnt down a couple of months ago not sure if they are back open yet...... hopefully they will open again i loved that shop for all our crafty stuff! kmart will have to venture out one day soon! i have heard there normal dress ups are meant to be quite cheap! :) downtown warehouse has sold out of santa costumes as was looking online and sent hubby to look after work.... adult ands kids ones were only $5!!!!! classic |

there's another Geoffs too on Sandringham road more central auckland, so depending on where you live could be worth a shot. What about spotlight? I know from time to time they have things ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Here is the Santa suit I just made for Oliver. Well I still have to finish the top but I thought It would be really cute to take some pics with just the pants and hat.
I am going to make a dress for my DD as well, she is 6 but about the size of a 4 year old. If you are interested I can make you one as well just send me a pm or contact me on my facebook page (just search for Tania's Treasure Trunk and it should come up) -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
