This amazing version of Princess Jasmine was created by Maleah’s grandmother. We used turquoise chiffon (6yds) for the over lay of the skirt and part of the top. We used a Satin underlay about three yards. We also topped it off with silver and white lace with a beautiful design on it for the top … Read more
My husband and I love Halloween. We kinda got together on Halloween several years ago and every year we try to go big. Well, at least I do and I think my husband is just fine to go along for the ride because he knows how happy it makes me. In 2009 we decided to … Read more
I’ve been working on my daughter’s dress since March! I wanted to get it just right. I looked everywhere for just the right fabric and finally found it at an interior decorating place, but it was stretch velvet, which is impossible to sew. So, I backed the entire thing with iron-on interfacing, which worked beautifully. … Read more
My daughter is Cinderella. My mother-in-law made the Homemade Cinderella Halloween Costume. It’s all handmade, every piece of it!
This Prince Charming and Cinderella Costume were our costumes for a Halloween Piano Recital where I accompanied my daughter on the song “So This is Love” from Walt Disney’s “Cinderella.” I adapted the McCall’s pattern for a Civil War uniform to make my outfit, and adapted and combined Simplicity’s patterns for Snow White and Sleeping … Read more
This is my version of a Cinderella costume. I made it for a convention. I went there with my friends, so all together we were Cinderella, Tinkerbell, Alice in Wonderland, Sally from ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ and Peter Pan. For my homemade Cinderella costume I bought some satin fabric in blue and white – 4 meter … Read more

I altered the pattern to get a v neck in the front and I wanted cap sleeves I like in the R&H Cinderella that Brandy and Whitney Huston are in. The only problem with … Read more
Last year, on Halloween, I made my daughter a dress similar to those in the 15th century because she wanted a princess costume. The only fabric where I had enough was the green broadcloth and white (dyed pink with pink dye found in the kitchen). That year, I didn’t have any money at all. I … Read more
This homemade Prince and Princess couple costume idea was inspired by Disneyland Cinderella and Prince Charming. I used Simplicity patterns for Cinderella and the Prince. Bought material to suite. I enjoy sewing and thought it would be fun for my husband and I to wear at the next Halloween dance. Always wanted to be a … Read more
Although I love crafting, my sewing skills are preschoolian, so I decided there’s no reason a princess gown has to be one piece and that I will create an ‘almost no sew princess homemade costume’. My princess wore a shiny white blouse she already owned, along with a “gowny” skirt I assembled (you’d hardly call … Read more
While my young daughter was thinking a “princess” I had something more along the lines of a medieval “Lady” in mind. This Medieval Lady Princess Costume was fabricated entirely with findings and fabric scraps I had already so the cost was $0 for me. I had a green satin and a gold silk fabric, and … Read more
I had to dress up for work and I wanted to do the whole princess costume thing but with a non-traditional flare. I had read about this guy who had made a tuxedo jacket and pants out of duct tape for his prom and I thought why not make a dress out of duct tape. … Read more
