Tigger is a character from the children’s books written by A.A. Milne and the Disney animated franchise. Often referring to himself in the third person, Tigger loves to bounce on his long, springy tail. While Tigger is optimistic and confident, he can also be reckless and mischievous. His theme song is “The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers.” He is friends with Winnie the Pooh.  There are a few ways to style an outfit inspired by this energetic character. You can lean more toward cosplay with the tiger ears and tail, wear orange and black stripes, or get cozy in a onesie. This guide includes masculine and feminine options, but feel free to wear what’s comfortable for you!

Snow White is a classic Disney animated princess film that you may be familiar with. There is a brand new, live-action adaptation of it coming out next year, which starts the very talented Rachel Zegler.

To dress like Snow White from this upcoming film, starting with the top, there isn’t one out yet that is exactly like hers which looks to be a velvet material, but for now you can take the top from previous available, pre-made costumes. You can either cut off this part, but it may be easier just to wear this at the base. Over this, you’ll want to achieve the very full yellow skirt. You can wear one, or layer multiple yellow full tulle skirts. This costume cuts straight across at the waist, so wear the over-skirts slightly above the waistline of the base costume. If there is a ribbon, you can fold it under, remove it, or tuck it in. Wear white tights underneath with red ballet flats. Finally, either style your own hair in a similar fashion or style a short black wig.

Topsy Turvy is a character from the musical film, Mary Poppins Returns, and is played by Meryl Streep. Her costume is one that is eclectic and quirky, matching her personality. There are many pieces to her costume but when broken down, isn’t all that difficult to put together, and is definitely worth the crafting.

Starting with the base, wear a satin green v-neck tank top tucked into a black maxi skirt. For shoes, give the same feel of the mismatch boots by wearing green suede heels and pink and black striped socks. For her robe, take a black and multicolored kimono/ robe, and either cut off part of it at the hem to sew the trim or leave it and sew it on top. The trim is a 12+ long green fringe. You can also cover the seam with a ribbon to make it a cleaner transition. For her accessories, wear different colored chunky bangle bracelets, a necklace made of colored pencils, and champagne tassel earrings. Wear a metallic scarf or knotted turban on your head and stick two paint fan brushes in an x formation through the front knot. To create the clock belt, start with a green waist belt as the base. Make a clock by cutting out the base on Bristol board, cover with green construction paper, and put a smaller white piece over that. Here you can sketch out a clock or print out one and glue it. On the back, attach magnets with glue and to the belt. This makes for a much lighter belt than using a real clock. Finally, make your hair similar to hers or wear a wig, and for makeup, wear a yellow eyeshadow, a graphic black eyeliner, and a red lip.

Winnie the Pooh (aka Pooh Bear or just Pooh) is a good-natured, though sometimes absentminded yellow bear. Based on the character of A.A. Milne’s books, Pooh is stuffed teddy bear that belongs to Christopher Robin. He loves to eat honey, as indicated by his round belly. His usual phrase is “Oh Bother.” There’s a few ways to style an outfit inspired by this adorable character. You can lean more toward cosplay with the bear ears, wear the bucket hat for a “Disney-bound,” or get cozy in a onesie. This guide includes masculine and feminine options, but feel free to wear what feels comfortable for you!

Cinderella is a 2015 live-action remake of the original animated Disney film. This follows the same classic story of a girl who has to live with her evil stepsisters and stepmother until she meets her Prince Charming. This film has beautiful realistic versions of the costumes we know so well, and one of them that could be recreated is her casual, “peasant dress”.

To create this look, wear a blue blouse with a maxi full blue skirt. Add a muted brick red apron to the skirt and a wrapped headband created with frayed white fabric wrapped in your hair.

King Magnifico (voiced by Chris Pine) is the selfish ruler of the Kingdom of Rosas in the Disney animated film Wish.  King Magnifico siphons magic from the wishes of his people, though he only grants those wishes that benefit his rule.  When Asha makes a wish that brings a star down from the sky, King Magnifico declares her a traitor to the Kingdom.  King Magnifico wears a cream-colored regal outfit with a white tunic, a white cape with blue lining, and a pale blue sash.  You can purchase a costume set or build your own by layering two capes together over a vintage coat held closed with a blue sash.  Whether you make your own costume or buy a set, you’ll also need white leggings, shoes, and a costume facial hair set that includes a grey mustache and pointed goatee.

Asha (voiced by Ariana DeBose) is the main character of the Disney animated feature Wish.  Asha is from the kingdom of Rosas.  A wish she makes pulls a star from the sky.  Asha has long braided hair which she parts to one side and prominent freckles across her nose and cheeks.  She wears a purple-themed costume with reddish accents.  You can find costume sets for Asha, or you can create your own.  If you choose to build your own, you’ll need a patterned skirt and shimmery sheer shirt layered under a dusty purple dress.  Knot the dress at your right thigh to reveal the hem of the underskirt.  For accessories, you’ll need a beaded necklace you can loop twice, two anklets to wear on your left leg, drop earrings, and a woven belt.  Whether you build your own or buy a set, finish the costume with dark purple flats and a star plush that glows.

Giselle is a character from the 2007 Disney film enchanted, and is played by Amy Adams. Enchanted follows Giselle, a princess who is banished by an evil queen and has to go from her animated world to the real world.

In one scene Giselle wears a poofy white wedding dress in the city. This can be recreated with a white wedding dress with poofy short sleeves, a white petticoat for volume, and a white ruffled skirt to layer under the dress that will show through the slit in the skirt. She pairs this with a silver necklace, tiara, and white satin gloves.
