Once Upon A Daydream

Once Upon A Daydream Bespoke tutu dresses - individually handmade to order. Any theme available; Disney-inspired dresses, We make, entirely by hand, bespoke tutu dresses.

They can be Disney-inspired, fairytale characters, fairies, princesses; anything to fulfil your daydreams. Whatever you want - the sky's the limit! The bodices of the dresses are made from stretch velvet - allowing room for growth - and the skirts are made from over 150m of tulle. I then decorate the dresses to match the character or, for imaginary princesses and fairies, I let my imagination (or your requests) take over.....

The story of Rapunzel can be traced back to the 10th century Persian tale of Rudaba, where the title character helped her lover Zal climb up to her bedroom by letting her hair down.

In Disney's modern retelling of the story Rapunzel's companion, Pascal, was nearly a squirrel instead of a chameleon!

Walt Disney's favourite piece of animation ever is reported to be when Cinderella's ragged clothes are transformed into her beautiful ballgown :-)

It's one of my favourite dresses too!

Cinderella is one of the most popular fairytales in the world - with over 700 versions.
But did you know that it is over 2000 years old??!

A tale dating back to the 1st century BC is perhaps the earliest of all Cinderella stories. The story is about a Thracian courtesan, Rhodopis, who ends up marrying the King of Egypt. It features a royal figure searching for the owner of a shoe....sounds familiar to anyone? ;-)

Woohoo! My double-sided postcards have arrived :-)Another step closer to being ready for Tinkerbell's Fantasy Fayre!

Back to work after a very busy and fun weekend.
First thing on the 'To do list' - completely gut spare room and turn it into my workspace. Working with so much tulle around young children and a puppy is just not working. Not to mention that my husband is getting fed up of finding all my stuff spread around the kitchen, dining and living rooms! I need a dedicated space....

As well as filling orders, when I have the chance I like to make new dresses for displays and to try out new design ideas
(My children get to dress-up in them too!)

What dress would you like to see me try next?
(It doesn't have to be a princess dress either - next week I'll be working on a Little Red Riding Hood dress)

Just realised that it's actually only 5 weeks until Tinkerbell's Fantasy Fayre - I need to start thinking about our stall and getting some postcards printed...

Any recommendations for competitively priced printers?
