Disney Princess Costumes
From LoveToKnow Costumes
Most little (and big!) girls dream of "happily ever after," and Disney princess costumes provide a wonderful opportunity to indulge that wish.
Year Round Fun
Although the Disney princesses are a favorite choice for Halloween, the costumes are equally popular year round. A Disney princess costume is ideal for:
- Everyday dress-up fun
- Tea parties
- Princess birthday parties
- Carnivals, fairs, and festivals
- School plays
- Religious parties or festivals
Is it Authentic Disney?
Before you shop for your princess costume, you should be aware that there are many imitators eager to capitalize on Disney's massive appeal. If you want a true Disney product, make sure that the tag or the website displays the Disney logo. Non-licensed manufacturers should simply claim to be Disney Inspired, Disney Themed, or something similar. It is still very possible to look fabulous in a non-Disney princess costume, but you should be aware of what you are buying.
Disney Princess Costumes for Babies
The selection of Disney princess costumes for babies is pretty limited. Most princess costumes are a bit itchy for the youngest wearers, but Annie's Costumes has a beautiful infant-sized ballerina Cinderella for 2007.
Kids' Costumes
You are in luck if your older daughter wants to be a princess. All of the most popular Disney beauties, including Ariel, Belle, Aurora, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, and Cinderella, are widely available in preschool sizes and larger. You can find them at your local costume shop, toy store, or online. The following web sites sell these beloved costumes:
Adult Disney Princess Costumes
Disney royalty costumes are also popular for the young at heart. If you are a grownup who still craves that fairytale ending, consider these adult-sized Disney Princess costumes:
- Snow White (fits up to size 14)
- Prestige Princess Jasmine (fits up to size 14)
- Belle (fits sizes 12-14)
- Annie's Costumes offers a nice collection of Disney costumes, many fitting up to an adult size 16.
Pet Costumes

Accessorizing Your Costume
Authentic Disney princess costumes can be rather expensive, and elaborate accessories only add to the cost. Most costume shops sell a wide variety of licensed Disney merchandise. However, it is not necessary to use high dollar extras and props. In fact, many of your princess add-ons can be found at the dollar store or craft store. Many can even be made at home. Finishing touches to your Disney princess costume include:
- Costume wigs
- Dewy princess makeup
- Tiara or crown
- Bejeweled shoes
- Beaded necklaces
- Bangle bracelets
- Fake flowers
- Decorative hair accessories
- Sequined purses
- Shimmery tights, leggings, or pantyhose
- Magic wand
