Daddyo's is cute but so expensive that it's not worth it. Much easier to just get a pattern and make your own.

You know I'm always wary of ordering online anyway, when I go shopping I investigate and think "Is it cheaper to make? Or can I make it on my own and get a better quality?" When it comes to what I guess other people think is a novelty fashion, the answer is usually yes.
That said:

Meh. I've decided anything modeled by Bernie Dexter is always going to be more expensive than I'm willing to pay, and besides-that looks like a simple enough design...

True Saya...that dress is awesome! & PJ I wish I could make such clothes...I'm seriously thinking of taking a sewing class but about a month ago when altering jeans I did it by hand as I gave up fussing w/a sewing machine lol. I guess I should go custom made...

I know, and I wouldn't buy it either, but I don't have the patience to hand sew something like that and I'm not at Mom's enough to complete big projects on her sewing machine. Although I will be taking a vacation next month, maybe I'll make something cute like that then.

True enough. It's annoying how something that looks so simple is usually a big fucked up messy bit of hell to get done.

Actually, they very well could be. Their heads look huge compared to the rest of their extremities.

Wait, are you asking if the clothing is popular with midgets or if the midgets themselves are a hot commodity?

So you hate an entire group of people because their medical condition "grosses you out"? You sound like a delightful person.

I don't think she's a midget, she just looks like she's barely over 5 feet.
And come on now, DRM.

Hate might be strongly worded, but they freak me out none the less.
Which is straing since I'm just barely over five foot myself.

Crap, it's what most of the stores here sell now. Only that they seem to focus on the ugliest clothes.

Yeah that site's pretty good, but the prices make me cringe.
I found a dress almost identical to that first one in a Macy's clearance rack for $15. I was excited as all hell, considering it fit me perfectly as well, no hemming or alterations needed.
Wish I didn't think my arms were crap looking.
