Princess Fantasy Dress Costumes – Pretty Pixie Child Costume

By the age of three, children are beginning to define themselves, both in terms of gender and as individuals. Little boys dream of power, strength and skills beyond their current capabilities, in short about being some sort of super hero. Little girls, on the other hand, dream of being princesses. The princess phenomenon has now reached fever pitch and has been dubbed “the princess syndrome”, with sales of everything pink, jewelled and sparkly, from princess costumes to Sleeping Beauty’s castle in the playroom, reaching new highs.

It has been argued by some
paediatric experts that parents, in pampering their daughters like royalty, are placing their little princesses on to pedestals, never criticising, giving in to their every whim and turning them into little divas with a hugely-inflated sense of entitlement. The worry is that such traits may follow them out of the actual princess costume stage and into adulthood. Such parenting has been labelled “princess parenting”.

With princess paraphernalia now ubiquitous, some parents are becoming uneasy with the whole phenomenon and questioning whether the princess message is a good thing. These days, that message begins from birth with everything from baby princess costumes, princess bibs and slippers, to princess-themed books, photo frames and even cribs. By the time these babies are toddlers, they are attracted to princess costumes, sparkly crowns and even make-up.

As the children get older, they will be drawn to princess themed dolls, such as Barbie in one of her many guises, along with her fairytale castle, carriage and horses, and Ariel the “Little Mermaid” princess. Then, of course, there is the “king” of all things princess – the Disney company, with films featuring princesses such as “Cinderella”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “Snow White”. Recent additions to the Disney princesses are “Mulan”, an Afro-American princess, Tiana and the movie “The Princess and the Frog”.
