Choose your dress for a magnificent start to your costume. You can choose either blue or pink. Check out the Resources section for a link to both color costumes. If you know a seamstress, you can be extra creative, and do a dress that is half pink and half blue. The fairies kept changing Aurora's dress color at the end, so either color will do. It depends on your personal favorite. Make sure to try on the costume before purchase to ensure a perfect fit!

Put on a long, golden blond wig. Aurora was the name of the Roman goddess of dawn, and her hair should be as radiant as her name! Make sure it is a lustrous wig that flows freely.

Add a little tiara to your costume. A princess, even a princess denied for sixteen years, deserves a tiara. You can have pink or blue hints of jewels in your tiara. It all depends on your dress choice and preference. Sleeping Beauty deserves her royal recognition, after all!

Wear very light make-up. A princess must look her best, but natural beauty is best. You are representing the dreams and admiration of children, and it's important that your costume always be in the best of taste. While you are in costume, very small children may actually believe that you are Aurora.

Wear flats that match your dress. Jewelled slippers are probably your best, most princess-like choice. Use your imagination here as Sleeping Beauty merely needs beautiful shoes that compliment her dress for dancing with her prince.
