Disney Princess Costume Ideas for Little (and Big) Fans

A Disney Princess costume works because the characters are iconic - the silhouette, the colours, and the hair are all instantly recognizable. A Disney Princess costume is built on a few key pieces: a dress in the character's signature colour, matching accessories, and either the character's signature hairstyle or a wig. Get those right and you're unmistakably a Disney Princess. Below are the pieces that make up a proper look, split by which Princess you're going for.

How to get the look: start with a dress in your chosen Princess's signature colour, add a tiara or crown, then layer in jewellery, a wig, or both. A wig is optional - many people style their own hair instead - but a good dress will anchor the whole look.
