Pint Size Dress Up Closet



After having three boys, I was ecstatic when my little girl came along. Now I'd be able to trade the baseball hats in for bows and shorts for dresses.

My little girl is four now and by the time she could dress herself at age two she's been changing clothes at least three times a day. Why didn't anyone tell me this? Oh, and now that she' four she only wants to wear dresses. What about all those cute short and capri sets I bought her? Well, basically it was a waste of money.

About a year ago I got tired of her messing up her big closet. I'd come in her room to see her pretty church dresses thrown all over the place and a gigantic mess for me to clean.
I wanted a solution and thought if she had her own "closet"where I could put her princess and play dresses, that would solve all my problems.

I searched on line and at ever store in town, but couldn't find one small enough or affordable, until I found this closet at Target. It's sturdy enough (after we anchored it to the wall for my little climber. Hey, she has three big brothers!) and big enough to hold all her favorite clothes. My husband added the bar and wallah! A perfect pint size closet for my little princess! It's truly been a life saver for me and her!

This is great. I wish I had thought of this when my girls were little. Instead we gave up and got rid of everything except about two weeks worth of dresses. They wore dresses only (with shorts or bloomers underneath) for an entire summer. They loved it.

Brilliant! All of our dress up clothes live in the playroom in a lidded Rubbermaid bin, but I love your dress-up closet!

Now THAT is a good idea. I will be passing this idea along to some of my friends with little girls. This is great!

How cute! It looks so fun for her. My girls would love this.

what a great idea...your daughter sounds like my 3 year old. Dresses only...I can get her into pants occasionally if I tell her they're teenager clothes.

Good one...sounds like our girls were born twins in a former life. I've got her dress up dresses hanging in the playroom now on a cute little flower rack.

Love this idea! I'm bookmarking it, in the hopes we'll have a daughter who likes to dress up someday. :)
