Looking for last-minute girls’ fancy dress ideas? We’ve got you covered:
Elsa from Frozen
Parenthood changes everything. From not being able to function without your daily dose of caffeine to singing Let It Go at 7 A.M. like a morning ritual, life comes at you without a warning. If your little one also likes Frozen, she’s going to love dressing up as Elsa.
Here’s what you need for this girls fancy dress:
- A light blue dress as the base
- A cape made from organza or sequinned fabric
- Lots of sequins and rhinestones for detailing
- Sparkling white or cream shoes or ballet flats
Pull the entire look together with a white braided wig and let your daughter channel Elsa’s icy powers.
Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family
Thanks to the recently released Netflix series, Wednesday Addams has once again become an iconic character to dress up as. Although Wednesday’s looks have changed over the years, the basics remain the same. You need:
- A black skater dress (bonus if your little one has already got one)
- Black tights
- Black boots
For hair and makeup, you need brunette braided pigtails, pale foundation, and smoky eyeshadows. Many fancy dress stores offer Addams Family costumes.
Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries
Is your little one a fan of The Princess Diaries? Have them dress up as Mia Thermopolis, specifically the character’s pre-makeover look. The Princess of Genovia turned heads, and now it’s your little one’s turn.
Here’s what you need:
- A classic pleated plaid skirt (preferably in blue and white)
- A light blue button-down shirt
- A tie in coordination with the skirt
- Blonde, bushy wig
- Accessories like round glasses, scrunchies, and notebooks
Jessie from Toy Story
Toy Story is another household staple. Jessie, the spirited cowgirl from the franchise, is kids’ favourite, and for a reason. She is lively, energetic, brave, adventurous, and above all, a loyal friend.
Here’s what you need:
- A white long-sleeved shirt with yellow cuffs
- Blue jeans with flared legs
- A brown belt with a gold buckle
- Brown cowgirl boots
- A red cowboy hat
Jessie’s outfit is not the easiest to create at home. Consider looking into online fancy dress stores to find a pre-stitched outfit. You can get it altered and add more details to make it to your daughter’s liking.
Rapunzel from Tangled
If your girl dreams of castles, magically long hair, and a chameleon for a confidant, dressing her up as Rapunzel is the best choice.
The classic Rapunzel costume features a pink and purple dress, adorned with gold lace and sequins. The real show-stopper is the wig. You can either buy the complete costume from a reputable fancy dress store or just the blonde braided wig.
Be it for Halloween or a princess-themed party at school, your little one will sing When Will My Life Begin? all day long!
You can also add accessories, such as:
- Purple silk gloves
- A tiara
- Plastic stick-on flowers for the braid
- Purple shoes with rhinestones and embellishments
