I used to be afraid of moms yelling at me about their kids…now I’m a mom and I’ll bite the other mom’s freakin’ head off…RAWR!!!
I actually get irritated (but not mad) if I turn my back and my son (who is 2.5) does something wrong to someone, and they don’t correct him for fear of me. Anyway…
So a 2.5 year old is probably even more difficult to fit…just because while running after him to fit the bodice, it’s so small, it’s hard to make markings while holding the wiggle monster down. I kinda just have to hope it fits right.

Ooo! I’ve been yelled at by a mommy for yelling at her kid before! Not cool. Granted, I didn’t YELL at said kid, I just asked him nicely to stop kicking my seat. And his mom said, “Don’t tell my child what to do. That’s my job.”
And then I opened fire on the whole family. In my HEAD.

Lace locks, for some unknown reason children are fascinated by the things.

on the subject of sticking pins in kids I can commiserate, I made the mistake of promising my daughter I would make her one particular princess costume for Halloween, before checking and discovering that the only pattern available for it was three sizes too large for her. while she loved the much altered dress, I lost count of how many times I threatened to stick a pin in her if she didn’t stand still as I was sizing down the bodice and cinching up the skirt to shorten it.

If you put one of those plastic things on the drawstring to lock it in place they would understand – it is on most ski equipment, and hoods.

Good luck – having costumed my own children for many years, I completely agree with the vast majority of what is written here.
