Dress up time with your little girl is one of the most fun activities you can do together. You can spend hours browsing through costume catalogs and online shops to find the perfect outfit, but let’s be honest: there are only so many princesses in a lifetime. Instead of looking through all those dresses and gowns again, here are five girl’s costumes ideas that are sure to please any little girl:
Flower Fairy
A simple flower fairy dress up is a great way to get started. To make a flower fairy outfit, you’ll need a pink or purple dress and wings. Add sparkles to your face and body, too! You can also add some fairy dust so the girls know who they are talking to.
The most important part of being a flower fairy is having fun!
Little Mermaid
Mermaid costumes are classic and easy to make! They’re also great for Halloween, costume parties and even just playing dress-up. You can find some pretty affordable mermaid costumes at your local party supply store or online. If you want something more custom, there are tons of tutorials on the internet that can help you make one yourself. You can get creative with your own color scheme or choose a classic pink and purple combination like Ariel wears in “The Little Mermaid.”
Unicorn
A unicorn is a mythical creature with the head and body of a horse, but with one long horn. Unicorns are white or light pink, and their long horns can be used to cure diseases. Just as people have different personalities, unicorns vary in temperament from being very gentle and kind to being fierce warriors. There are many types of unicorn costumes available for purchase at any store that sells Halloween costumes or party supplies.
Red Riding Hood
What you need:
- A red hooded cape and dress
- A red wig
- A basket, if you want to be extra authentic
Witch
Witches are a classic Halloween costume. You’ll probably want to be dressed in black and have green skin, warts and a broomstick. A pointy hat is fun too. If you’re really committed to being a witch, you can even get a cauldron and make your own potions!
These are great costume ideas for girls.

If you’re looking for inspiration, there are plenty of cute dress up costumes available online. You could dress up as a character from a book, or maybe your favorite movie character. If you have an animal that is special to you and the family, why not be it? Or if superheroes are more your thing, then that’s another option. For more options, be sure to check out costume experts, Chasing Fireflies!
These are just some of the costume ideas for little girls I could think of. If you want to dress up as something else, there’s always the option of making your own costume! Maybe you can get your daughter involved in helping out with that process too!
