As it turns out, these are your daddy's princess dresses

June 1, 2017 11:04 AM

Nephi Garcia is Designer Daddy. He creates elaborate costumes for clients and his family, usually based on Disney Princesses. For Mother's Day this year, he re-imagined those Princesses as Queens.

Garcia's YouTube videos often feature his costume dresses meeting the "real" thing at Disneyland. Sometimes they offer tutorials or construction walkthroughs.

Ohhh...these are so pretty. I do wish I could get a closer look at those after pictures.

I like how he is clearly a talented designer, and that this is a business... but the real goal is to play dress up with his wife and kids.

I have met him and his adorable family and seen his work first hand! He brings so much joy to everything he works on.

I love that he does this for his family, and most of the queen costumes are brilliantly imagined and absolutely wonderful, but the model's boobs are falling out of that Ariel costume.
