The love we have for Disney Princess costumes is a tale as old as time. No longer just waiting for their Prince to come, recent Disney Princesses have a much tougher core. Being a princess means people might underestimate you under that sparkly dress costume, but they’ll learn their lesson. We’re looking at you, Hans.

Even if you can’t sew, don’t be discouraged. Learn the tips and tricks for creating a true showstopper for your Halloween costume.
Tailor-made just for you, once you create a DIY costume, you will never go back to buying one. In addition, creating homemade costumes with your family is a true bonding experience – even more than watching Moana of Motusi together.
So, if you think there’s more than this provincial costume life, get inspired here and create your best homemade Halloween costume this year!
