The prices aren't bad, I think it's just about the same that you would pay for a dress at JC Penny, Sears or even Kohls.

I might have to check them out.
No, but I was fast asleep on the sofa about 30 minutes after that post. 
Got back from Gatlinburg/Pidgeon Forge last night. We did go to this dress shop and we got one of these. But with a slightly different print.meme said:If you do go, please let us know how your trip turned out. I've been wanting to go. From my understanding it's a nice size store that they have.

And one of these, but in lavendar gingham, a size larger. These two dresses are the same pattern.
The store is big, but the first part sells tourist trap souvieners, like t-shirts, magnets, key chains etc, that say Pidgeon Forge. Then about half the rest of the sales floor has quilts, then the dresses. In the back third of the building is where they make the dresses, if you stand on your tip toes you can see little old ladies bent over sewing machines, and you can say, "I saw 'em bein made."
The selection is limited. They only have two main styles, the one we got and the one they call the "Southern Belle" which is similiar, it just has places in the skirt where it is hiked up and filled with lacy frills. They have a few other dresses, but the selection is better online, when it comes to styles and better in-store for colors.
Lemme tell you, though, next time I'm planning a wedding for a 3-yo, I'll be sure to order the wedding dress from here. This picture doesn't do it justice. It's much more elaborate in person, for a minute, I thought it was MY wedding dress shrunk down, open back and everything.
Very pretty dresses.
If you give our girl the choice of a girly girl dress or jeans and a t-shirt, she chooses girly girl every time!meme said:Beautiful dress!
I am very happy with all my lil dolly dresses too. I haven't been to the so called factory yet but after your post I think I will continue to buy mine online (better selection.) Every holiday I order one for my little girl. She wears it long enough to get her pictures taken in it and then wants to get out of it and put on play clothes. sigh....wish she was a bit more prissy!
You forgot to mention that we also got the socks and hair bows/barrettes to match the christmas dress.Dymphna said:Got back from Gatlinburg/Pidgeon Forge last night. We did go to this dress shop and we got one of these. But with a slightly different print.
