How to Make a Jasmine Halloween Costume
Princess Jasmine, the spunky heroine of the Disney movie "Aladdin," remains a popular costume option for girls and women alike. Her exotic beauty and love of glittery jewelry combine to make a striking Halloween costume modeled on that of a belly dancer or Genie. While many stores sell Jasmine costumes and accessories, you can make your own Jasmine costume using simple clothing and inexpensive accessories.

Create Jasmine's harem costume out of blue sweat pants or satin pajama pants and a blue sports bra. The shades don't need to match exactly. The pants should be loose and slightly baggy.

Braid your hair into a long braid and tie with a blue ribbon or purchase a long black wig. Tie a wide blue ribbon around your head and attach a blue jeweled brooch or glue a plastic jewel to the center of the ribbon to serve as Jasmine's signature head dress.

Accessorize your costume with bold make-up, including kohl-rimmed eyes (a type of black eye-liner) and bronze or gold eye shadow. Add stick-on jewels or glittery dusting powder to your face to further enhance the look. See Resources for links to additional make-up ideas.

Tips & Warnings
For more coverage, wear a form-fitting blue tank top or buy 1 to 2 yards of sheer blue material to attach to the bottom of the sports bra to cover your stomach.
If making the costume for a child, purchase a blue tankini bathing suit top instead of a sports bra and attach the sheer fabric to the bottom of the top.
If you want sleeves to cover your arms, make faux sleeves by purchasing a pair of blue dress gloves and cutting off the hand part. Wear these pulled as high as possible on your arms for a bit of additional warmth.
Carry a small, Oriental rug with you and make sure you sing "A Whole New World."
