Why I chose this costume:

Snow White and the other Disney Princesses have been reimagined so many times and in so many different ways. When a group of friends decided to make Pokemon Trainer versions based on fan art that was popping up online, I couldn’t resist making Snow White! I agree that Snow White would for sure have a lot of forest-friendly pokemon in her collection and on her team.

How I made this costume:

The skirt was handmade from extra sparkle satin casa that I had from my original Snow White cosplay . I made a simple pencil skirt for the first time and LOVED how it turned out! I then added pockets that close with Velcro and sewed gold pokeball symbols on them. The shirt is actually three store bought shirts that I cut up and sewed together. I cut the white collar off one and the sleeves off another and sewed them to the darker blue shirt. I added a yellow zipper for the shirt and also added gold trim to the sleeves and matching pokeball symbols on the sleeves in red. I sewed the cape from dark blue and red crushed velvet and it attaches to the shirt with a few hidden snaps. I made and sewed red bows to my gold shoes as well. The pokeball is made of smooth Styrofoam, painted half red with a black line from sharpie around it for the closure and button. The wig was used from my original Snow White and I bought the red bow from ebay.

Thoughts on this costume:

This costume is comfortable and fun to wear. A lot of people love to see the Disney Princesses in any form and a few even made the connection to pokemon trainer as well. I was excited to meet up with a small group of other pokemon trainer Disney characters at Dragon Con 2013 as well!
