How to Make an Alice in Wonderland Costume

She's cute, adventurous and gets to go to tea parties-it's great to be Alice in Wonderland. Now you can be by creating your own Alice in Wonderland costume. The sweet look may soon become in vogue for costume parties as talk of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie starring Johnny Depp revives interest in this classic Disney character.

Things You'll Need

• Sky blue, knee-length dress
• White apron
• White tights
• Black Mary Jane flats
• Blonde wig
• Black headband

Instructions

1. Wear a sky blue, knee length dress with a full skirt. Add several petticoats to add volume to the skirt for the classic Alice in Wonderland look. If you can't find one with a white, rounded collar, create your own collar by trimming a piece of felt and attaching it with simple stitches or double-stick tape. If the dress you find doesn't have puffed sleeves, try tucking the sleeves up into themselves for added volume.

2. Layer a simple white apron on top of the dress. Although Alice in Wonderland's has straight and plain edges, an apron with a lace or scalloped edge will give the costume a fancy touch.

3. Wear white tights and black Mary Jane flats. Be sure to walk with small, lively steps like the eager and petite Alice in Wonderland.

4. Don a long, blonde wig if you're got dark or short hair. Alice is nothing without her lovely locks. Part it in the middle and fluff the long bangs a little before adding a narrow black headband.

5. Perfect your English accent to mimic classic Alice in Wonderland lines like, "It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change" and "curiouser and curiouser."
