Well we have finally hit the year where they are asking to be princesses and at the same time, each wants something different. I thought I would ask here first to see if anyone has any ideas on where to get the costumes or perhaps, if I am lucky, someone will have one of them.

One wants to be a princess with a green dress. Size 5T, or 5, possibly as small as 4T in Gymboree.
One wants to be a princess with a pink dress. Size 5T, or 5, possibly as small as 4T in Gymboree.
One wants to be a white rabbit. Size 6, or 6x or 7, possibly a 5T in Gymboree.

I should dress up as the queen of hearts! Off with their heads!

I like the Disney princess dress-up dresses, I have bought them at Target. They tend to be much more durable than Halloween costumes. One could be Aurora (pink) and one could be Tiana (green). Then they could continue to play with the dresses as dress-up costumes.

I am going on at least my third year with all three of my girls (two 4yo's and one 6yo) wanting to be the same princesses, wearing the same dresses we already have. Not sure how long I can keep this going but it beats buying new costumes every year!

Maybe if you take them all to Target and the want-to-be-a-bunny girl sees her sisters picking out the princess dresses she might change her mind and pick one of the other princesses?

Otherwise I have no advice about the bunny idea. Good luck!

I saw Halloween costumes out at Costco this past week. I bought princess costumes there last year, and they have held up well over the year as dress-up clothes.

White rabbit... not sure. There seems to be a surge in Alice in Wonderland costumes this year in the catalogues.

Good luck!
Mine are going to be Alice, Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter this year
