Queen Elsa from Disney's Frozen

Debuted: Birthday Party

Awards: N/A

Skit: N/A

Princess Elsa is the oldest of two sisters from Arendalle. She is the eldest sister and takes the title of Queen after her parents pass and she is of age. Once crowned, she and her sister Anna get into an argument and Queen Elsa flees her kingdom after locking it into eternal winter. Queen Elsa then creates an ice castle and dawns this beautiful dress as a way to break the chains that she felt bound her for years.

 How I Made It

This was made as a Princess birthday request about two weeks before the party date. As I didn't have time to make it from scratch, eBay became my friend for each piece of this costume. I bought a prom dress and altered the look by removing four layers of tulle from the skirt and adding a slit to the front right of the dress. I bought the teal shirt to wear under the dress and altered the sleeves to wrap around my middle fingers. I added snowflakes to the wig I bought that arrived already styled. The only piece I did by hand was her "ice cape" which I cut from some great fabric I found and attached to the dress.
Queen Elsa was the buzz of the party and all the kids had a great time singing with me and pulling me all over the house. They also all posed with me for photos and that was a lot of fun as well. They were terribly disappointed when I said I needed to return to Arendalle.
