How to Make a Disney Princess Costume
Girls love and admire Disney princesses. For this reason, Disney princess costumes are quite popular. While you can buy one, they are usually expensive. On the other hand, if you make your own you will save money and look unique at the same time.
Things That You Will Need
- A basic bodice pattern
- Some fabric
- Matching thread
- A sewing machine
- A pair of fabric scissors
- A zipper
- Make the basic bodice. Leave the back open for a zipper.
- Cut out two fabric ovals measuring 7 inches long and 14 inches wide.
- Sew each end of the oval piece together.
- Sew a gathering stitch on the top and the bottom of the sleeve.
- Gather the sleeve together until it is small enough to fit around your bicep.
- Hem the bottom of each sleeve.
- Sew the sleeves to the bodice’s arm holes.
- Cut out a piece of fabric that is 1 inch wider than your waist on top and that slants down so that it is 45 to 60 inches wide at the bottom. It should also measure around 45 inches long.
- Sew the slanted edges of the fabric together.
- Leave 4 inches open at the top for the zipper.
- Hem the bottom of your skirt.
- Decide what princess you want to be. For Snow White you will need to sew the top of the skirt to the bottom of the bodice making sure that the open edges in the back match up. For Ariel or Cinderella you will need to cut out two pieces of fabric measuring 16 inches wide and 45 inches long. Sew a gathering stitch all around the sides and bottom of these pieces. Gather the pieces into a bustle shape. Sew one bustle on each side of the basic skirt so that they rest on your hips once the costume is completed.
