Put on the light blue ballgown, adjusting the off-the-shoulder sleeves for a comfortable fit.

Add a petticoat or hoop skirt underneath the dress if you want extra volume.
- 3
Carefully pull on the white satin opera-length gloves, smoothing out any wrinkles.
- 4
Fasten the thin black velvet choker around your neck.
- 5
Style your hair into a high, polished bun, then place the blue satin headband just in front of it.

Disney Princesses costume FAQ

- Wearing a multi-layered tulle petticoat or a structured A-line hoop skirt underneath the dress is essential for achieving that classic bell shape.

- Silver glitter ballet flats or metallic silver sandals are comfortable, on-theme alternatives that still look magical.
