Total Time 1 to 2 weeks Ages 5 to 8
Every year I make my granddaughter her costume. So far we've done Cinderella, Tinker Bell, Little Mermaid, Esmerelda and Jasmine. I bought the fabric and jewels at Fabricland and just sewed to the best of my ability. The pants have an overlay of sheer fabric, with jewels along the bodice. I made the crown out of my imagination.

How to make it
- I chose specialty fabrics with matching jewels (I think they were for curtains actually).
- I used a McCall's pattern for a gyspy outfit that also had pants.
- The crown was made out of the cardboard. I bent it to shape, covered it with the same fabric, and glued a jewel on the front.
- I bought a cheap wig and tied it with a scrunchy made from the same fabric.
- We found the shoes at a secondhand store.
