DIY ideas for a princess costume for 5 year old?
Ok so this is my daughters first real fancy dress - all the kids from Pre primary to yr 6 are having a dress up day and being a 5 yr old girl she HAS to be a princess...
I want to try and make it really special for her...
Any tips or ideas which I could use to make a one of a kind outfit... (I figure half the kids will be princesses, so it be nice for her to feel special)
she is SO excited - thanks everyone
1] a 1/2 to 3/4 sleeve old, fancy [ ruffles or lace ] blouse of mom's, as a dress
2] a gold or silver chain belt [ can double it up ]
3] jewels [ ropes of costume jewelry ]
4] gold or silver covered crown [ with 'diamonds, rubies, emeralds. sapphires, pearls ], or a tiara [ costume shop ]
5] silver or gold buckles on shoes
6] very, very curly hair
7] if she was a fairy princess she could have a set of wings
[ butterfly type ] and a wand...
8] they have patterns at the fabric stores [ my son says get her gloves or mitts if you can - princesses need those ]
9] can order costumes from Disney, etc - suggest looking on ebay, and thrift stores for discarded flower girl dresses
10] a little blush,and some clear lip gloss - pretend to 'curl' her eyelashes so she thinks she's hot stuff
