How to Make an Elsa Costume

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Choose a top.

   For the shirt, unless you are wearing a dress, try to find something sparkly with long sleeves.
   
   Or, find two tops––one that is light blue and sparkly, and one with netted sleeves.
   
   You can stitch the netted sleeves onto the light blue top.
   
   If you can't find netted sleeves, find normal sleeves in the same color.

   Try to find a skirt that is the same or a similar color that your top is.

   Again, try to find a shirt with netted sleeves and sew the sleeves on or wear the shirt underneath, so as not to ruin the shirt.
   
   If you can't find a dress, do what was outlined with the shirt and skirt (above). , Have it start in the middle of the scalp (a French fishtail). , See How to do Elsa's coronation hair style for details. , This will give it the icy sparkling look which Elsa has. , Elsa has pale skin, which can be achieved by using foundation. , Elsa has thick lashes.
