I am walking through the store with the outfit in hand picturing L running around it while we sing Happy Birthday to her....Then, I see the price tag...$75...Wrong! $125...Wrong! $175...DING, DING, DING! We have a winner! It seriously made my jaw drop in the middle of the store. I am sure the sales lady saw me since I was the only one in there at the time. I have trouble spending that much money on a pair of jeans I will wear every day for two years. I am still in shock over it. Even with store credit, I just could not justify it. I have been searching for a replica of it for less. Any ideas?
I found one almost exactly like it at Zulily, but it was sold out! What is Zulily, you may be asking? If you are a expecting or new mom, you MUST know about Zulily.
Let me know if you find anything similar for a good price or any other preshrunken birthday outfits for that matter.

Hi janaan....this is megans sister Jenny... She forwarded your blog to me a few months ago it's been a fun read! I wanted to tell you to check out etsy for some adorable birthday shirts/pettiskirts. I have gotten my 3 year old her bday outfit from there the last three years. Hope this helps...happy shopping!
Ok so I custom make birthday outfits and I don't even charge CLOSE to that and you know that the outfit you found in that store was probably mass produced and cost next to nothing to make! Sad...
I've come across a lot of businesses who buy from www.haloheaven.com IN FACT, it looks like the outfit you saw on zulily was from there and costs less through the actual site.. :) A lot of people claim the cutie creations as their own but in fact they aren't. :)
Hope this helps!!
Side note...if you are interested, I could make a similar shirt to the super expensive one you found for around $20 or less depending on the size. :)
You can find me on facebook: Cupcake Couture Girls.
I try to avoid even going into those stores! If the only thing I can afford is socks, I shouldn't be in there. I am always shocked that they stay in business, but I guess there are enough people willing to spend $175 on a birthday outfit. Obviously their little ones don't have explosive diapers and grow faster than a weed!! lol
My friend Marina works from home and can do a custom birthday outfit. She mainly does monogramming but I think she makes tutus as well! Just search Marina's Monogramming on facebook!
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I will definitely look into all these options and let you know what I decide!
