Ok I will admit I am desperate. I have checked high and low for this particular dress for Buffy so she will match her sisters. I bought the dresses for Brandy and Kallie before I knew we were going to adopt Buffy. Maggie has checked all her Walmarts and Leigh Ann has checked her area as well. But if ANYONE can check at their local Walmart to see if they have the below dress in a "SMALL" size............ P L E A S E...........buy it and I will pay you for the cost of the dress and shipping and a big THANK YOU.

Carol,

I tried 2 different Walmarts here and no luck, they didn't even have that dress in a different size.

Sorry :(

There is another one on the other side of town that I go by, but it will probably not be until this weekend. I will keep watching and if it has not been found by the time that I go, I will check there.

Carol, I joined the hunt in my area and sorry to say I had no luck here. How long ago did you buy them? In my area they had a few dresses in clearance
but none like the one you are searching for. I will continue the hunt, there are a few more stores in my area. I even checked in fabrics for material like the dress for an alternative :awink:

I bought them about the third week in June right after I gave both girls a hair cut.............it really hasn't been that long ago but I guess things go fast and especially when you are looking for a particular size.

Thanks so very very much for checking the Walmart stores in your area. I may just have to resign myself to "DEFEAT" on this one.:(:(:(

Anyhow, do you enjoy sewing? Do you sew anything else besides dog dresses? Are you going to make Toby some overalls? ;)

I HATED sewing when I was a teen. In those days they made you take home ec. in jr. high. I still hate sewing. It frustrated me beyond words. When I got married, I took a sewing class cause I thought every "good" wife should sew. :lol2: I made a blouse but I still hated sewing and still do and now I DO NOT sew anything.

Who, me sew???? Oh yes I was a big time seamstress (sewer: an artificial usually underground conduit for carrying of sewage or water.......so no I am not a sewer now nor have I every been one; sorry I just could not contain myself on this one). I use to sew all my children's clothes, my mothers pant outfits with designs around the edges, my own clothes, suits, etc. There wasn't anything I could not make. But after the kids were grown..........and patterns went sky-high, I quit. I still have a machine I bought a few years ago for repairs but I thought I might just give making the girls some dresses..........but don't plan on a wardrobe like what little Miss Mia Pia has! :)

I also do scrapbooking and ceramics but haven't done much of either since I have found MT.............need to get back to some of my creative abilities. I also love to garden.........I'd much rather work outside then inside but not on those very very hot days. Of course I LOVE TO MOW MY YARD NOW with my new machine. :) :)

BTW - my youngest son works at Walmart and he is going to check "his" store for the desperate dress. :D

Tell your son thank you very much for looking; I really appreciate his kindness.

Yep, I knew you wouldn't be able to leave that one alone. :D I really didn't mean to call you a sewer. :lol2: I just don't like the word seamstress for some reason.

Wow, you really are talented, aren't you? My mom was like that when we were growing up. I didn't really like the clothes she made for me in grade school cause they were different from the other kid's clothes. :(

I like to garden, too. I just don't like to weed. :D I do scrapbooking -well, like you, I used to. I really enjoyed it when I was more active in doing it.

I wonder what some of us would do if we didn't have computers? What else would we accomplish during the day? (or night) I don't even want to think about how much time I spend staring at this screen. :(

I would love to mow the lawn too,if I had a monster like you do to get the job done. :)

I would for one, lose some weight if I didn't sit at this computer screen so much.:o:o:o:o

And I most certainly would get more scrapbooking done. I don't really sew any more nor do I do the ceramics. Keeping the house tidy, dogs brushed "daily," pool in tip top condition, yardwork, cooking ........... well, it's a wonder I even have time to sit here and do MT or YT. LOL

I bought the same dress for Angel about a week ago in a size XS and I'm waiting for her to grow into it. There was plenty at the time. I'm not sure if they're still available but if you're still searching for it I can go check it out after my son's baseball game tonight.

Oh yes, please do!!! I am looking for a "SMALL." I tried the med and it was too big and I tried the xsmall and it was too little. It has to be a small!! Thank you very very much. I hope they have one.......it would make my whole month! :) :)

No, I didn't get the dress and don't expect to at this point. :(

Okra is a vegetable that is green and can be steamed, deep-fried, put in soups, etc. I personally do not like it but it is served in a lot of restaurants, especially in the South.

What a bummer. I was at Walmart today and saw the dress you wanted from a distance and I was so excited... but they only had x-small. :(:(

Sorry - I tried.

Thank you............BUT, I did find two x-small and bought both. The x-small will fit around her dogy but it's a wee bit short on top of her back so I am going to take the bottom of the one and sew it on to the other and it will be just fine. A tad different than the ones Kallie and Brandy will have but theirs' are bigger anyway and it will just look a little more cutesie..........so problem solved and I am no longer desperate!!!!! Can't wait to show you how lovely the girls look in those dresses and the beautiful bows that Leigh Ann made to match them..........they look fantastic.
