Snow White from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Debuted: Dragon*Con 2011

Awards: Best In Show - The Art Institute of Austin’s Annual Halloween Costume Contest

When I found out one of my cosplay idols would be at Dragon*Con, we planned to meet up in costume and she suggested we do so as Princesses from Disney. She was already working on Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and another one of her friends was going as Belle (Beauty and the Beast), so after some thought I decided to go as Snow White.

 How I Made It

I used royal velvet in dark blue for the top, with Casa Satin for the sleeves. The skirt is Casa Sparkle Satin with a layer of thin cotton below it and some pretty lace sewed to that which I found in the dollar bin at Jo-Anns. The gold trim was sewn as is to the top and sleeves. The headband was originally a light red, which I covered in the same fabric as the sleeves and hand made the bow. The white collar is craft foam stuffed inside thick, white cotton fabric. The cape is black and red crushed velvet with a pretty gold clasp that I added for my own, personal touch. The shoes were bought online and I made the bows for them.

When the Princess group fell through, I wore my costume anyway (with pride because I am so very, very thrilled with how it came out). I had a fake apple with me for photos, but more people enjoyed the fact that I also had a bird with me (a black-capped chickadee). I love my forest friends!
