Thousands of cosplayers around the world enjoy dressing up as their favorite Disney princesses. All the costumes are all intricately made to look very similar to the original dresses worn in the films. Since Disney remains to be one of the most successful companies in the world today, it’s only natural for cosplayers to take an interest in recreating them. The most popular Disney princesses who cosplayers love to portray are Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Elsa from Frozen and Merida from Brave. Today, let’s take a look at the Best Disney Princess Dresses for Cosplay.
1. Ariel
Ariel is one of the most beloved Disney princesses because of her endearing personality. She goes through a drastic physical transformation starting as a mermaid and then becoming a human being. She wears several dresses on the film but we’ll focus on the simplest one you can easily make. You can purchase any sky blue long sleeved top from your favorite clothing brand. Make sure that it’s tight fitting. You’ll also be needing a black corset to wear over your long sleeved top. Make sure to purchase one which has a model panel on the back. For the skirt, find a dark blue one with a slight sheen to it. Using a satin fabric will do the trick. It’s usually available in stores which sell apparel for dancing. You will also be needing a petticoat to cinch your waist and complete the look. For the shoes, Ariel wears plain black flats so you can use any pair that you have at home.
2. Belle
Princess Belle wears the most beautiful yellow ballgown which makes her stand out from the rest of the Disney princesses. Make sure to purchase a professional grade satin fabric to achieve the same glossy effect of Belle’s beautiful dress. You can customize it and have it tailor fitted to your body shape. Make sure to create a peplum effect on the waistline so that it will be truly form fitting. You will also be needing a petticoat and matching bright yellow gloves. Finally, you will need to purchase clear circular jeweled studs which will be put on the lower part of the dress. It is also essential to create floral patterns using swirls to perfect the look.
3. Elsa
Many people consider Elsa as the most beautiful and talented among all the other princesses. You can achieve her ethereal dress by wearing a pale blue sparkly long dress. It is the main focal point of her outfit so it’s very important to find a plain colored blue strapless maxi dress. It’s also essential to use body glitter to spray on your arms to mimic her sparkly sleeves. Because Elsa is a queen, she wears a cape. You can make your own fluttery cape using a sheer piece of fabric which is transparent. Then, you can securely pin it to the back of your dress. You may purchase the cape from any store who sells fabric by the yard. Finally, it would not be Princess Elsa without her signature long blonde braided hair.
4. Merida
Merida is the bravest of all the Disney princesses. She wasn’t scared to express her true self to her family and to her people. She asked a witch to change her destiny and she even fought a bear at the end of the film. To create Merida’s beautiful dark green dress you will only need a few key pieces. You will be needing a dark green wool fabric, a cream coated leather chord and a cream chiffon to create the ruffles. You can easily purchase fabric from your nearest local shop or online. Make sure that the dress is tight fitting and long sleeved. The cream chiffon will be used as an accent on the neckline of the dress. It should also be put on the sleeves and the elbows. Merida’s signature look is her bright orange and very curly hair. You may either purchase a regular wig and dye it yourself or you can easily purchase a ready made one.
