Baby Size Charts - What a Mess!

A customer asked me how does a size 1 for a Chinese Cheongsam Qipao compare to a size 2T or 18-24 months.

Sounds easy? Quick google search, nothing official looking. Another Google search and found this Children's Sizing Chart. But no 2T in there?

Hmm....

And another google search got me to eBay, few more clicks and I got this Baby Sizing Chart that is the closest to what I am looking for. And in the sizing chart it mentions that Baby Sizes vary from brand to brand... Which is why I just give measurements to avoid problems.

Cute Picture of girls

There was the cutest picture I saw last night at a gallery that has a stage I was seeing a play above it. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it, but just did not have the guts. It was selling for $250. It was 6 girls with hands around each others waist being led. It was so cute!

Champagne Girl's Dresses

A customer bought four girl's dresses for under $100, and since it was over $85, shipping was free!

eBay Changes - Should I go back II?

Sounds like eBay is starting to go back to where they were, instead of trying to compete head to head with Amazon. I hope they fix the feedback system, where sellers are not allowed to give feedback on buyers. I used to sell Flower Girl Dresses on eBay along with baby clothes. Not to mention the changes they have made to shipping. From what I can tell many sellers are leaving eBay because to many problems with a big decrease in sales.

Baby Dress Section

I have a number of girl's dresses that now have Baby sizes, but nobody is buying them...

May be a section on Baby Dresses?

Something to think about

Ao Dai - Girl's Dresses

I just revised all of the Girl's Ao Dai Dresses including the pictures. I am so tired!

I decided on a grid because I thought it was nice to show all the Ao Dai on one page.

To make it easier for customers, I also put what sizes are available, since some styles are only available in girl's sizes 1-10, while others go up to size 16 girls.

Dress Layout on Category Pages

Hmm, how should I do it.

Should I do the Columns or list, where it's like this:

a Girl's Dress
b. Girl's Dress
c. Girl's Dress

Chinese Cheongsam Qipao - the usual way.


Or should I do a grid like this:

a. Girl's Dress b. Girl's Dress c Girl's Dress

d. Girl's Dress e. Girl's Dress f. Girl's Dress

Ao Dai Cuoi Vietnamese Girls Dresses has a grid.

Something old, something used

Something old, something used - Lancaster Newspapers - ‎Mar 6, 2009‎

About how many brides are buying used Wedding Dresses and even used Flower Girl Dresses. I disagree with the used Flower Girl Dresses with how low my prices are.

Marriages with Children

Marriage with children: we thee wed! - Examiner.com - ‎Mar 7, 2009‎

I agree, let the children be a flower girl, ring bearer and make every effort to make them part of the wedding. I guess I should update my American Wedding Customs and Traditions article.

Dry Cleaning Dispute

I am shocked the Dry Cleaning Vendor would say it's their property...

Dry Cleaning Dispute - A Father dropped a Flower Girl Dress to get it dry cleaned, place went out of business, said the dress was at another place (actually place that did the dry cleaning which is owed $20K by the dry cleaner, said vendor won't let any of the customers get their clothing).

Ao Dai Vietnamese Girl's Dresses

My Ao Dai Girl's Dress page is nice, it has a nice coloring picture of an Ao Dai at the top, then you can see pictures of all the different types of Ao Dai I stock.

May be I should change it to a grid? What matters is the Ao Dai pictures. Hmm...

Chinese Wedding Trends

I do I do, I do - Stuff.co.nz

Cute Flower Girl Article

Wedding stressful for dad - of flower girl -Casa Grande Valley Newspapers - ‎Feb 25, 2009‎

Cute article about the experience of a Father having his daughter as a Flower Girl, very cute, especially the buying of the flower girl dress, shoes, and other accessories.

Girl's Dresses Photos

It's so easy to just click the button on your camera to take a picture! I do it all the time. My hubby shows off with his iPhone, when our daughter has not borrowed it to take pictures.

So what is so hard about taking girl's dress photos? Getting colors correct is a challenge! As well as getting a background that has a nice contrast.

Three options I can think of:

1. Just cheat is just hire a professional photographer...
2. Butter up a super user photoshop user daughter to help fix some photos.
3. Take lots of photos till I find a really good one.
