HOw to Make a New Cinderella Costume

In honor of AP signups yesterday for the Princess Half marathon, here is one of the costumes I wore: New live action Cinderella.

Missed the recaps for the 2015 Princess Half marathon weekend? Here they are: Princess Frozen 5k, Glass Slipper Challenge (10k +Half). 

The new live action Cinderella came together because I figured not many people would have it or know who I was and that seemed like fun!

My mom loves making butterflies so she made my top for me. I sent her a blue shirt and she added the ribbon and sewed the butterflies on as well. 

The skirt was pretty easy and she made me a blue sheer one. It's great because I can definitely reuse it. 

I would suggest if you do this costume to do a lighter blue than I used. Not many prints had been made at the time and we were going off of grainy internet photos. I had a light turquoise shirt so we went for it. 



SUPPLIES NEEDED

• light blue shirt
• butterflies (my mom made mine out of fabric and pipecleaners)
• A way to attach butterflies to it (I used ribbon). After that, they were sewn to the shirt (you could also pin them if you want to reuse the shirt again)
• A light blue bottom. Mine was a skirt made with elastic and sheer blue fabric
• Glass slippers! I just used my rundisney Cinderella shoes
  
• blue sweatyband
• bottoms-i wanted to wear shorts but it was still cold (about 45 when we started) so I opted for capris
• I packed a long sleeve shirt but ended up just using a throwaway coat

Have you ever run as Cinderella?
