Aaryn Costello is searching for the perfect dress, a 30-inch-long light-blue number with a sparkly bodice and a detachable white cape.
That would be the Princess Elsa dress from the Walt Disney Co. (DIS +1.13%, news) hit “Frozen,”? the most sought after fashion item among the kindergarten set. Stores across the U.S. are sold out, and originals are being offered for as much as $1,600 on EBay Inc. (EBAY +1.99%, news) Desperate parents are sewing their own or shelling out up to $225 for replicas on craft sites like Etsy.com.
“Every mom in the world is dying for this dress,”? said Costello, a Los Angeles marketing consultant with a “Frozen”? obsessed 4-year-old. “The lucky moms who have found this dress for their daughters brag about their success and unanimously proclaim how their kid can’t stop wearing it.”?

I have 3 boys under 5 and even they are mesmerized by frozen. Disney understands their customers, and has MASTERED the ability to capitalize on it.

Re: Frozen Bubble?
This is part of the "princess" bubble, in which every little girl thinks she is a princess. Unfortunately the parents are playing along.
It won't end well.

I get what you're saying, but there is nothing new with Frozen in that regard. And for the record, I'm married to a princess and it has its challenges.
