Every little girl wants to be a princess.  There are so many of them that it makes choosing a Halloween costume more difficult.  Should your little girl be Belle from Beauty and the Beast?  Why not Ariel from the Little Mermaid?  Or, better yet, Tinkerbell from Peter Pan.

Tinkerbell is a popular choice for girls of all ages, but it is most common to see elementary-aged girls dressed up as the sassy fairy.  To help your daughter dress up as Tinkerbell, you can order one online, search the local stores, or, you could even make your daughter a Tinkerbell costume from scratch.

Making The Costume

In order to make a Tinkerbell costume, you should be able to sew fairly well.  First, measure your child to determine how much fabric you should get.  Then, decide on the fabric you will use.  Although the Tinkerbell costume is typically a light green color, you should feel free to alter the costume to fit your preferences.  Find a pattern online, or, if you’re feeling completely ambitious, you can sew the costume completely from scratch—the choice is up to you.

One important part of making a Tinkerbell costume for a younger girl is making sure that the dress is age appropriate.  The Tinkerbell costume is typically low cut and fairly revealing, which might not be ideal for a pre-teen girl.  To fix this problem, you might want to consider using skin-colored fabric to cover the arms and upper chest.

Accessorizing

To complete your little girl’s Tinkerbell costume, make sure not to forget about the proper accessories.  A Tinkerbell costume would be nothing without a pair of fairy’s wings.  These can easily be found at any local costume store and come in many different sizes and styles.  Other accessories you might want to include in the costume are a pair of sparkly leggings or tights, and perhaps a fairy’s wand. 

Making Dreams Come True

You can make your daughter’s dreams come true by helping her to be Tinkerbell for Halloween.  If you make the costume from scratch, she will be even more appreciative of your hard work.  You yourself will feel a great sense of accomplishment.  So why not go for it?  Take the extra step and make a Tinkerbell costume instead of purchasing one—the end result is something to dream about!

Toga parties are famous worldwide.  This is not only due to the Romans but also to John Belushi and his character is the movie Animal House.  Toga parties have become almost a rite of passage on the college campuses of many schools around the globe.

White does not have to be the color of your toga; it is often the most popular choice because often time’s people with just use a white sheet that they have lying around the house.  However, if you don’t have white sheets or if you are interested in putting a bit more style into your toga costume, a fabric store will have the perfect solution.

Toga Costume Basics Are Simple Directions To Follow

When creating your toga costume, remember that the toga itself is long and narrow.  This is a basic reason why most sheets don’t work well as there is too match fabric and it is in the wrong shape, you end up carrying a large amount of extra cloth that becomes quite bulky.  The second important consideration is if you plan to wear a tunic or long t-shirt under your toga. 

The creation of the toga costume itself is the same with or without the tunic but you will want to have the tunic on when you are practicing tying your toga costume or it will be more difficult when preparing for the party later.

When buying cloth for your toga, most costume directions advise buying six yards of fabric but that can vary depending on the size of the person wearing the costume.  Obviously for a child that measurement would be much smaller.  It is best to go about one-yard per foot of height, stopping at six yards maximum. 

Tying The Male and Female Toga Costume

Once you have purchased your fabric and decided about the tunic, you should begin practicing tying the toga costume.  For men, the first step is to pin one end of the toga around your waist.  Then you will want to wrap it at least one full circle around your waist, having the length hang down to your knees.  After wrapping it at least one time around the waist, pin the toga again at the waistline to insure that it remains in position.  Throw the rest of the fabric up over one shoulder and you now have your completed toga in place and ready to go.

For women, creating a toga costume is a bit more complicated but easily done.  To begin, pin the material just under the armpits, making sure that your fabric hangs down to the general knee area.  Wrap the fabric at least one full circle around your body and pin into place again, making sure that the fabric is held tightly.  Throw the remaining fabric over your shoulder and your costume is complete.  It should be noted that there are many variations of women’s toga costumes and a simple online search can reveal different options if you are looking for something a bit sexier than the traditional toga costume.

‘Star Wars’  is a major cultural phenomenon.  What began as a few movies has snowballed into a series of sequels, collectors items and fan clubs.  Not even the internet has escaped the “Star Wars effect”—the discussion forums for Star Wars are numerous.

For those who love the movies, it might at some point be necessary to have a Princess Leia costume.  Whether the costume is for a meeting of a Star Wars fan club or a Halloween costume, you have the option of ordering a costume or creating one yourself.  Why not take the creative route?  Creating a Princess Leia costume is not hard to do!

When making your Princess Leia costume make sure that you include all of the elements of the character in order to make the costume as authentic as possible.  The most important part of the costume is the white dress that Princess Leia wears.  The dress can be made by using a pattern, which can be found at a local fabric store or online.

The accessories are also an important part of the Princess Leia costume.  The belt can be created from leather, and you can burn the edges to make it look more realistic.  Though little is known about the boots that Princess Leia would have worn, most people purchase white snow boots or white patent leather boots.

Perhaps the accessory that most distinguishes Princess Leia is her hair style.  The two braids rolled up on each side of the head have become iconic of the princess.  In order to recreate this style with your natural hair, it must be long enough to do so.  However, most women end up purchasing a long wig and then styling it. 

You can style the wig for your Princess Leia costume by first parting the wig down the center.  Next, put on the wig and put each section of hair in a pony tail close to the ear.  Braid each side, and then roll each up into a wig and secure in place with bobby pins.

A Collection Of Characters

If you are trick-or-treating for Halloween, or to a convention of Star Wars fans, then you can stand out even more by arriving in a group of people all dressed as Star Wars characters.  In your group, you might want to include characters such as Luke, Hans Solo, Yoda, and a few Wookies.  This will make more of a lasting impression on the people at the event you are attending.  What people will remember most, however, is a home-made Princess Leia costume!
