ABOUT SNOW WHITE:

Disney’s ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’ (1937) is a classic fairytale and the first full-length animated film in cinema history. At the time, many believed such an endeavor could not possibly be economically viable. Snow White essentially launched the animated genre as we know it.

Based on the German fairytale “Schneewittchen” by the Brothers Grimm, it follows Snow White, a princess who escapes her wicked stepmother and befriends seven dwarfs, each with their own distinct personality traits.

How To Dress Like Snow White

1. CORSET – We started our outfit with a stunning blue corset with delicate floral patterning. Form-fitting and seductive, what more could you ask for?

2. SKIRT – A yellow mini skirt is a great option we also considered but in the end we decided to go for a tutu to emulate the flowy and whimsical quality of Snow White’s dress.

3. SHOES – Blue and white heels will also work perfectly well for this DIY costume but we opted for red stilettos to match the bow accents on our socks, as well as our gloves and headband. Choose whichever pair makes you feel the hottest!

4. SOCKS – Next, add a pair of white knee-high socks. The red bows are a cute extra little something which – along with the headband – really tie this whole look together (please excuse our terrible pun).

5. GLOVES – This is an optional accessory but it never hurts to wear protection when handling poisonous apples. Lace wedding gloves and satin opera gloves are great options.

6. HEADBAND – Finally, no sexy Snow White costume could be considered complete without her adorable red bow headband.

Snow White Costume: FAQ

What colors do you need for a Snow White costume?

Use blue for the top, yellow for the skirt and red for the finishing accents. That combination identifies Snow White even when you use separate clothes instead of a dress. This guide pairs a blue corset and yellow tutu with a red bow headband.

Is a yellow tutu a good alternative to Snow White’s skirt?

A yellow tutu gives the outfit a full, playful shape with very little styling. A pleated skirt or simple yellow midi skirt also works if you prefer less volume. Pair any of them with a blue top and let the red accessories bring the look together.

How do you turn Snow White into a group costume?

The Evil Queen is an easy partner for a heroine-and-villain duo, while the Seven Dwarfs suit a larger group. Friends can also wear different princess costumes, such as Ariel or Aurora, without coordinating identical outfits.

Do you need black hair to dress as Snow White?

A short black bob gives the closest character match, but the costume still works with other hair colors. The red bow headband is particularly useful because it keeps the reference visible around your face. You can curl longer hair under if you want a temporary bob effect.

What can you use as a Snow White apple prop?

A lightweight artificial red apple is easy to carry and reuse for photos. You could also attach a small apple charm to a bag. The prop is optional, so there is no need to carry something all evening if the bow and outfit already complete your look.

Which Snow White accessories can you leave out?

The lace gloves and bow-trimmed stockings add detail, but neither is needed for recognition. Keep the blue-and-yellow outfit and red headband first. If you already own red, blue or neutral shoes, use those instead of buying a separate pair just for the costume.
