Tools and materials:
- Purple jacket
- White pants
- White flouncy shirt
- Big hair wig
- White scrap fabric for cummerbund
- Two matching pairs of round sunglasses
- Scissors
- Wire cutters
- Superglue
- Eye pencil
Prince costume piece 1 – the cummerbund
Create 4 pintucks in your cummerbund fabric by folding the fabric down onto itself to make a pleat. Make the folds extend from one side of your waist to the other.
Then, you can just cut all the excess fabric off and attach one piece of sewing elastic to each end of the cummerbund to hold it in place.
Prince costume piece 2 - the glasses
From one pair of glasses, cut off one of the lenses using wire cutters. Superglue that lens to the top of the nose bar on the other full pair of glasses. You can use a bit of duct tape to hold the third lens in position and then super glue it.
Prince costume assembly
Tuck your flouncy white shirt into your white pants. Put your purple jacket on over your flouncy shirt. Put on your wig and make it big! Tease it out if it’s not big enough. Add your glasses… after you do the next step if your glasses are really dark.
Prince costume makeup
Use an eye pencil to draw a Prince mustache and a little soul patch (also called a mouche) beard under your lower lip.
