With Halloween looming it feels like I can’t walk five paces without being confronted by nylon creations which make my stomach turn. We love dressing up here at Bambino Goodies but like everything else, we want it to be stylish. When I spotted these dressing up patterns I was instantly transported back to the timeless [...]

Bandit Bambi

Ever since we went to Giffords Circus my children have been practicing their feats of daring and circus skills. There has also been a lot of talk about the costumes (take a look at my blog for some costume pictures), especially red ones! So when I was browsing Orfeo for gifts last night I was [...]

The turquoise fairy wings, £12.99, are wonderfully detailed [...]

Make Your Own: Bunny Costume

As soon as I saw this tutorial from The Purl Bee I knew I had to make it. The tutorial and pattern won’t have you pulling your hair out and I was able to stitch mine up in an hour or so. The costume itself is wonderfully minimal just a hat and paws mittens which are easy [...]

Dressing up…NASA space suit

All this talk of Halloween has me thinking about playing dress up although I don’t think that kids become conscious of Halloween until they’re at school, hence why we don’t go nuts for it here at BG as we’re all about the under 4′s.

Make Your Own: Dressing Up Clothes

I’ve been taking Milla to an amazing dancing class called Twinkletoes (if you live anywhere near Winchester you have to come along – the teacher is outstanding). All of the children in the class love wearing their fancy dress outfits and after only one class Milla was angling for her own. Without the budget for [...]

Ah, dressing up as a fairy, or a princess, or a fairy princess for that matter has never been so bright and funky. Bye bye baby pink and white! My little princess is 8 and still loves to dress up in her tutus and I shall have to put one of these, dare I say [...]
