Elsa Costume Tutorial

How to Create an Elsa Outfit

1. An ice dress.

Queen Elsa creates her dress out of pure ice. Unless you happen to know a snow seamstress, we recommend using a regular dress instead. Fortunately, there are many options for an affordable Elsa gown. Disney does not sell adult sizes of princess costumes, meaning you have to buy from an unofficial seller online or create your own.

Premade dresses can vary in craftsmanship and sizes, so sewing your own gown from fabric of your choosing is ideal. You can control everything from the color to the length of your ice train as well. The train should be made of a sheer fabric and you can use fabric paint to add snowflake designs wherever you want.

• Shop for blue or sheer dress fabric now. See premade versions for sewing inspiration.

2. Braided blonde hair.

Elsa literally lets her hair down when she lets go, revealing a thick French braid in her almost white hair. If you’re not a platinum blonde, you are going to need a wig to pull this one off. A regular French braid, pulled to one side, will work for Elsa’s hair. Add snowflake themed hairclips to keep your plait in place.

4. Legwear.

The cold doesn’t bother Elsa, but it might bother you. Fortunately, a pair of Lurex Glitter Fashion Tights are just what you need to stay warm while still looking like a Snow Queen. These light blue tights have a silver shimmer to go perfectly with your ice magic. They also add some modesty if you’re not comfortable showing off your royal legs.

5. Ice shoes.

Similar to Cinderella, Elsa has very special shoes. Her kitten heels are made from pure ice, just like her dress. Once again, skip the ice and grab a cute pair of clear or blue shoes instead.

6. Build a snowman.

One of Elsa’s icy powers is to bring snowmen to life. Find an Olaf plush or build your own snowy companion for the night. If trick-or-treating, an Olaf candy bucket is a simple addition to your costume.
