A princess dress is a long or knee-length costume dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt, often with tulle, shine, or a tiara. People look for a princess dress for carnival, a costume party, a school party, or a children's party, and this section of the Fairytale costume is about the dress itself, while the crowns, hats, and wigs have their own section. Carnival is the busiest time here, but a theme party or gala works just as well.
Which princess dress is right for which wearer?
The selection is divided by target group, and that is the quickest way to choose.
- For women, there are long dresses in pink, yellow, blue, and deep red, ranging from Renaissance and medieval styles to queen dresses in sizes S to XXL.
- For children, the dresses range from body length 98 cm to 158 cm, where you choose by length and not by age (128 cm is approximately 8 years).
- For men, there is a princess costume with a dress and crown in M-L and XL, intended as a funny option for a costume party.
- Some items are a complete princess outfit with a sash, belt, headwear with a veil, tiara, cape, or hoop skirt, while others consist only of the dress.
Tulle or shine, short bodice or hoop skirt: which do you choose?
The biggest difference within this selection is the skirt. A model with a hoop skirt or wire hoop stands out and keeps its silhouette all evening, which looks beautiful on a stage or in a parade but is less practical at a table. A dress with tulle or a shiny overskirt falls more softly and is easier to take to a party. The second difference is the length: long women's styles suit a gala or a fairytale party, while shorter children's dresses are better for playing games. Princess dresses owe their shape to the court fashion of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, in which a narrow fitted bodice and a wide skirt together determined the silhouette, and you can see that contrast in these models. Color also helps you choose: pink and yellow read as a classic fairytale, blue and deep red as a queen look.
Where do you start with the crown, hat, or wig?
Start with the head, because that is where you complete the look. If you are looking for something that immediately reads as royal, then you choose a princess crown, because a tiara or crown fits every hair type and every dress color. If you prefer a fairytale pointed hat with a veil, then the princess hat is the right section. And if your own hair color does not fit the role, you will find long locks in the princess wig that complete the dress.
A princess dress for carnival, King's Day, or a theme party
Carnival and costume parties are the busiest times for these dresses, and they are also worn a lot on King's Day and at a fairytale or children's party. For children, a school party or birthday is often the occasion, for women rather a theme party or gala. A princess costume dress does not therefore have to be tied to one season.
