Jasmine and Aladdin are one of the easiest couple costumes to get right, because the colours do the talking: turquoise for her, a purple vest, red sash and little red cap for him, and gold on both. Where most versions fall short is everything around those colours. A sheer pant that turns see-through under flash, a ponytail that collapses by ten, a vest that gapes. From the sewing side, I'd rather spend an evening on fit and fabric than on a pile of accessories. The 35 looks below run from the classic animated outfits and royal Prince Ali pairs to live-action layers, thrifted no-sew builds, kids, families and even the family pet, with notes on breathable layers and shoes for the kind of night you're planning.
A Bubble Ponytail That Holds Its Shape
Nearly every Jasmine here wears the segmented bubble ponytail, and it's the part that sags first. The trick is preparation and a few more elastics than you'd think.
- Brush the hair into a low ponytail at the nape and secure it with a strong, snag-free elastic. If your hair is short or fine, clip a long ponytail extension over this base and hide the join with a strand wrapped round it.
- Add the next elastic about 8 to 10 cm down, then gently pull the hair between the two outward with your fingers to make the first bubble. Tease the underside lightly if it won't hold the round shape.
- Repeat down the length. Shorter gaps make more bubbles; on shoulder-length hair, three is usually plenty.
- Cover each elastic with a turquoise or gold band, or a thin strip of ribbon, so it matches the costume.
- Mist with hairspray at the end, and slide a couple of bobby pins up into the first bubble so it can't slip down.
A long synthetic ponytail piece is easy to style this way too, but keep it away from heaters and candles; synthetic fibre frizzes and can melt with heat.
1. Classic Jasmine And Aladdin Couple Costume
The classic pair sticks to the shapes and colours everyone remembers. Jasmine wears turquoise harem pants with a matching cropped or full-length top, gold flats and big gold earrings, with dark hair in a low bubble ponytail tied off in turquoise bands and soft liner over warm neutral makeup. Aladdin wears loose white pants, a cream shirt or fitted tank, a purple vest and a red sash, with brown slip-ons and a small red cap. A light gold lamp makes a shared prop. Before buying, I hold the turquoise fabric up to a lamp; if I can see my hand clearly, it'll be see-through in photos, so I either line it or pick something heavier. An elastic or drawstring waist on both pairs of pants makes sitting much easier.
2. Prince Ali And Red Jasmine Costume
Switching to the royal palette makes the couple look far more dramatic. Aladdin becomes Prince Ali in white trousers, a long white or ivory coat, a gold-trimmed sash and a tall white turban with a faux jewel at the front, plus white or gold loafers. Jasmine goes red: flowing red pants, a fitted top with gold trim, a draped overskirt and pointed gold flats, with a long bubble ponytail in red bands and a gold headpiece. Warm gold eyes and a soft berry lip suit it. If you're making the turban, I build it around a close-fitting cap so it can't slide forward over the eyes. A lamp or a rolled length of patterned fabric as the carpet gives you a family-friendly photo prop.
3. Live-Action Jasmine And Street Aladdin Costume
The live-action look relies on layers and texture rather than flat bright colour. Jasmine wears turquoise tapered pants under a long embroidered tunic with a matching belt, fine gold jewellery and embellished flats. A thick braid or a softly waved half-up style with small gold accents suits it, alongside luminous skin, defined eyes and a natural rose lip. Aladdin combines striped or textured trousers with a rust shirt, a fitted vest, a soft sash and worn brown ankle boots, plus a small fabric shoulder bag instead of fussy props. I mix jacquard, plain cotton and a narrow metallic trim, which gives depth without stiffness, so you can still move freely at a party or outdoors.
4. Jasmine And Aladdin Royal Wedding Costume
For a costume contest or a dressy event, the wedding version is the one to sew. Jasmine wears a flowing turquoise or ivory gown with gold embroidery, long sheer sleeves and a jewelled waist, plus gold flats or low block heels, drop earrings and a delicate crown-style headpiece. Her hair can go into a polished bubble ponytail or long waves, with glowing skin and gold liner. Aladdin wears tailored white pants, an embroidered ivory coat, a gold sash, a jewelled turban and cream loafers. Swap the bouquet for a small lamp or a tasselled cushion. You don't need identical fabrics; I match the gold trim on both outfits, and that alone ties them together.
5. Jasmine And Aladdin Magic Carpet Costume
The wearable carpet turns a familiar couple into the pair everyone wants a photo with. Jasmine wears the classic turquoise outfit, gold jewellery, bubble ponytail and gold flats; Aladdin wears white pants, cream shirt, purple vest, red sash and brown slip-ons. The carpet is a light rectangular frame covered in purple patterned fabric, hung around Aladdin's waist from hidden shoulder straps, with soft fringe at the edges so it seems to float. Jasmine can stand beside him or wear a smaller matching panel round her hips. I build the frame from foam board or a thin pool-noodle edge rather than wood, and keep it narrower than a doorway. A foam lamp keeps the weight down.
6. DIY Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
Closet basics get you a recognisable pair without buying a costume. Jasmine starts with loose turquoise lounge pants and a matching fitted shirt, with gold ribbon around the neckline and waist held on with removable fabric tape, gold hoops, ballet flats and a blue headband. Divide a low ponytail with several matching hair ties for her signature hair. Aladdin uses white joggers, a plain cream tee and a thrifted purple vest, with a red scarf round the waist and brown flats or sandals. His cap is quick to make from red felt, and a plastic container wrapped in gold craft paper becomes the lamp. Felt is my choice for the cap because it doesn't fray, so the edges need no finishing.
7. No-Sew Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
With fabric tape, safety pins and ready-made separates, a no-sew pair can look surprisingly finished. Jasmine wears turquoise palazzo pants with a matching sleeveless tunic or peplum top, gold trim tape along the neckline and hem, and a detachable sheer scarf at the waist, plus gold flats, statement earrings and a smooth bubble ponytail. Aladdin wears white drawstring pants, a beige long-sleeve shirt and an open purple vest, with a red scarf for the sash and brown loafers. Cut his cap from adhesive red felt over a cheap fabric hat, and paint a plastic lamp or bottle gold. Fabric tape lets go on stretchy knits and in the heat, so I test every taped edge by moving around the house first.
8. Last-Minute Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
When there's no time, matching the colours closely does most of the work. Jasmine needs a turquoise jumpsuit, a matching two-piece set or a blouse with pants in the same shade, plus gold earrings, gold shoes and a blue ribbon threaded through a low segmented ponytail. Defined liner and a warm pink lip finish her face in minutes. Aladdin pairs white pants with a tan shirt, a purple cardigan or vest and a red waist scarf; brown sneakers are fine if you don't have other shoes. Draw or print a gold lamp on cardboard and tape it to a craft stick as a shared photo prop. I'd spend your few minutes matching the turquoise top and bottom, since a mismatched pair of blues gives the costume away faster than anything.
9. Modest Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
A modest version keeps the colour story and adds coverage. Jasmine wears a long-sleeve turquoise tunic with gold edging over wide-leg pants in the same shade, with a sheer floor-length vest, gold flats and tasteful drop earrings. Her hair can be a long bubble ponytail, a braid or a covered low bun with a turquoise headband, and soft gold shadow with defined lashes is plenty. Aladdin wears loose white trousers, a cream long-sleeve shirt and a hip-length purple vest held with a wide red sash, plus brown boots or loafers. A lamp or rolled patterned fabric is the prop. When I make the long vest, I pick a breathable chiffon or voile rather than polyester organza, which traps heat under all those layers.
10. Cold-Weather Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
October cold is easy to handle if you hide the warmth inside the design. Jasmine wears a fitted turquoise thermal under a long-sleeve tunic, lined harem pants and opaque socks inside gold ankle boots, with a matching velvet cape or embroidered long vest over the top. Her bubble ponytail, gold headpiece, earrings and soft makeup keep her looking like herself. Aladdin layers a cream thermal under a purple sleeveless coat, with lined white pants, a red sash and brown boots, and a white or ivory cloak turns him into a winter royal. Wear gloves in colours that match each outfit. A foam lamp stays light and doesn't get icy to hold like metal. I line harem pants with brushed knit, which adds warmth without bulking up the gathers.
11. Summer Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
For a warm party or a summer parade, lighter fabrics matter most. Jasmine wears breathable turquoise cotton pants and a matching sleeveless top that stays put, with gold flat sandals, light earrings and a satin headband around a loosely segmented ponytail. Waterproof liner and very little foundation stay fresh in the heat. Aladdin wears loose white linen pants, a sleeveless cream shirt, a thin purple vest and a soft red cotton sash, with brown sandals. Skip heavy velvet, thick wigs and metal jewellery that holds heat. A small hollow plastic lamp is all the prop you need. I always pin or stitch scarves and sashes down at a couple of points, because a loose sash in a crowd ends up trailing on the ground.
12. Glam Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
Sequins, metallic trim and jewel tones make a dressier couple without changing the outlines. Jasmine wears a turquoise sequinned jumpsuit or embellished two-piece with a sheer overskirt, pointed gold flats, crystal earrings and a jewelled headband, with a glossy bubble ponytail, gold shimmer, winged liner and a berry lip. Aladdin wears slim white trousers, a satin cream shirt and a deep purple brocade vest, with a sparkly red sash, gold loafers and a jewelled red cap. A rhinestone lamp suits them. I keep the sparkle to a few areas, because sequins everywhere flatten out in photos, and sequinned seams scratch the inner arm unless you line them. Matching gold accents keep the pair looking coordinated.
13. Casual Jasmine And Aladdin Costume With Sneakers
If your night involves a lot of walking, build the costumes around sneakers. Jasmine wears turquoise joggers with a matching fitted hoodie or a long-sleeve crop top, and clean gold or white sneakers. Big gold earrings, a turquoise headband and a bubble ponytail keep the casual outfit tied to the character, with simple liner and a rosy lip. Aladdin combines white joggers, a cream tee, a purple zip vest, a red waist scarf and brown or white sneakers, plus his red cap and a small gold crossbody bag shaped like a lamp. Pick athletic fabrics in close shades so the pair looks planned. It's the version I'd suggest for a long night out with friends.
14. Plus-Size Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
Flowing separates and adjustable layers make a comfortable plus-size couple. Jasmine wears high-rise turquoise palazzo pants with a fitted or relaxed tunic, whichever shape she likes, plus a long sheer vest, a gold belt, supportive gold flats and bold earrings. A bubble ponytail or long braided wig finishes the hair, with warm metallic eye makeup. Aladdin wears wide-leg white pants with an elastic waist, a soft cream shirt and an open purple vest that falls below the hips, with a broad red sash, cushioned brown shoes and the red cap. Skip cheap costume fabric with no stretch, which strains at the seams. I reach for a good jersey, satin or light cotton, all of which drape better and stay comfortable for hours.
15. Maternity Jasmine And Aladdin Couple Costume
A maternity Jasmine can be regal and still comfortable. Start with a turquoise empire-waist maxi dress or a stretchy jumpsuit that sits easily over the bump, then add a sheer turquoise robe, gold flats, drop earrings and a flexible gold belt worn above the bump. A long bubble ponytail and glowing makeup finish her. Aladdin wears loose white pants, a cream shirt, a purple vest, a red sash and cushioned brown loafers. For a playful touch, a small gold lamp shape on the front of the dress, fixed with removable fabric tape, always gets a smile. Skip heavy belts, rigid corsets and heels. Stretch knits and light accessories mean neither of you is adjusting anything all night.
16. Kids Jasmine And Aladdin Sibling Costume
Sibling costumes have to survive running around. The child as Jasmine wears a turquoise long-sleeve jumpsuit or tunic-and-pants set, gold sneakers and soft fabric jewellery, with a bubble ponytail made with snag-free ties, a flexible headband and a little washable shimmer. The child as Aladdin wears white joggers, a cream tee, a purple fleece vest, a red sash and brown sneakers. A loose cap gets lost in five minutes, so I swap it for a red beanie or headband that stays on. A plush lamp or fabric carpet is safer than a hard prop. Skip anything dangling or trailing. Elastic waists and machine-washable layers make the pair practical for school days and trick-or-treating.
17. Toddler Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
For toddlers, soft fabrics come before everything else. The Jasmine look uses a turquoise cotton romper or long-sleeve top with matching pull-on pants, gold soft-soled shoes, a fabric belt and a comfortable turquoise bow headband; if there's enough hair, a loose segmented ponytail without heavy extensions. The Aladdin look uses white cotton pants, a cream bodysuit, a purple fleece vest, a red fabric sash and flexible brown shoes, with a soft red cap on elastic that fits without pinching. No makeup beyond optional child-safe shimmer. A plush gold lamp or a padded carpet toy makes a sweet prop. I check every accessory for anything small enough to pull off and swallow, and stitch it down or leave it out.
18. Jasmine Aladdin And Abu Family Costume
Adding Abu turns a couple into a family of three. One adult wears Jasmine's turquoise pants, matching tunic, gold flats, bubble ponytail and gold jewellery; the other is Aladdin in white pants, a cream shirt, purple vest, red sash, red cap and brown shoes. The child becomes Abu in a soft brown sweatsuit with a tan belly panel, a red vest and a small purple cap, plus brown sneakers and rounded fabric ears. A full animal mask gets hot and blocks a child's view, so I'd use simple neutral face makeup instead. Carry a light gold lamp and a rolled purple blanket. Repeating red and purple across all three outfits links the family in photos.
19. Jasmine Aladdin And Genie Family Costume
Bright blue makes the third family member easy to read as Genie. Jasmine wears her turquoise two-piece, gold flats, statement earrings and a long bubble ponytail. Aladdin needs white pants, a cream top, purple vest, red sash, cap and brown shoes. Genie wears a bright blue sweatshirt and matching pants with a red waist sash, gold wrist cuffs and soft curled-toe shoe covers, plus temporary blue hair colour or a blue headpiece and a little blue makeup around the eyes and cheeks. A black faux ponytail can attach to the headpiece. Share one lamp. Full blue face paint is hot and slow to remove, so for a child I keep it to a few light touches, patch-tested first.
20. Jasmine Aladdin Rajah And Sultan Family Costume
Four people can make a palace group with Rajah and the Sultan. Jasmine wears turquoise pants, a matching top, gold jewellery, flats and a bubble ponytail; Aladdin wears white pants, a cream shirt, purple vest, red sash and brown shoes. Rajah wears an orange sweatsuit with soft black stripe appliqués, a tan belly panel, rounded ears and orange sneakers, with gentle cat-eye makeup and a fabric tail sewn firmly to the waistband. The Sultan wears an ivory tunic, white trousers, a gold sash, a jewelled turban and cream loafers, plus a soft white beard if comfortable. I cut Rajah's stripes from felt and stitch them, since iron-on stripes lift off fleece. Shared gold details pull the group together.
21. Jasmine And Aladdin Group Costume
A bigger group can add Genie, Abu, Rajah and even the carpet. Jasmine and Aladdin stick to turquoise, white, purple and red with their signature hair, headwear and practical shoes. Genie wears a bright blue set with gold cuffs and a red sash. Abu needs a brown outfit, red vest, rounded ears and a purple cap. Rajah wears orange separates with black fabric stripes, cat ears and a tail. The last person becomes Carpet in a purple patterned tabard over black clothes and purple sneakers; a tabard is just a rectangle with a head hole, so it's the easiest piece in the group to sew. Matching makeup details beat restrictive masks. One gold lamp sits at the centre, and distinct colours keep the lineup readable.
22. Jasmine And Aladdin Best Friend Costume
Best friends can borrow the famous pair without making it romantic. Jasmine wears turquoise harem pants, a matching tunic, gold sneakers, statement earrings and a long bubble ponytail, with soft gold eye makeup and a natural lip. The friend as Aladdin wears relaxed white pants, a cream long-sleeve shirt, a purple vest, a red scarf, the red cap and comfortable brown shoes. Give each person their own prop, like a foam lamp for Jasmine and a rolled purple carpet for Aladdin. I love adding matching friendship bracelets in turquoise and red; it's a personal touch that doesn't change the costume. Pick breathable pieces so the pair works at school, a convention or a casual party.
23. Gender-Swapped Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
Swapping the roles lets each person wear the shapes they prefer. The Jasmine-inspired outfit uses turquoise wide-leg trousers, a fitted embroidered jacket, gold loafers, bold jewellery and long dark hair in a low segmented ponytail, with subtle gold liner and a jewelled headband. The Aladdin-inspired outfit uses white harem pants or a flowing white jumpsuit with a cream top, a structured purple vest, a red waist sash, brown ankle boots and the small red cap. Makeup can stay natural or go warm and bronzed. A gold lamp ties the two together. Build it around the colours, accessories and proportions, not around who usually wears what. I'd have both pieces fitted properly, because tailoring is what makes a swap look deliberate.
24. Women’s Jasmine And Aladdin Duo Costume
Two women can make a polished duo by adjusting each piece to taste. Jasmine wears turquoise palazzo pants with an embellished fitted top, a sheer waist drape, gold flats and a bubble ponytail, with gold earrings and luminous eye makeup. Aladdin wears high-waisted white pants, a tucked cream blouse, a cropped purple vest, a red sash, brown ankle boots and a fitted red cap, with hair in a low braid or tucked under the cap. A gold lamp and a folded purple scarf are the shared props. I try to keep the fabric quality similar on both outfits; one shiny satin next to one matte cotton looks like two different parties. Either of you can add or remove coverage without losing the colours or shapes.
25. Men’s Jasmine And Aladdin Duo Costume
Two men can recreate the pair with tailored, comfortable separates. The Jasmine-inspired costume uses turquoise pleated trousers, a matching embroidered tunic, a sheer long vest, gold loafers and bold gold cuffs, with dark hair in a low ponytail or a segmented wig and turquoise headband, and gold eye makeup as subtle or theatrical as you like. The Aladdin costume combines loose white trousers, a cream collarless shirt, a purple vest, a red sash, brown shoes and the red cap. A jewelled accessory for Jasmine and a light lamp for Aladdin mark the roles. Played straight, with good tailoring and decent accessories, it looks sharp; I'd skip anything that turns it into a joke. Both adapt easily for coverage, weather and shoes.
26. College Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
A college costume has to move, photograph well and stay put in a packed room. Jasmine wears a turquoise jumpsuit with proper straps or sleeves, gold sneakers, hoops and a small crossbody bag hidden under a sheer waist scarf, with a sturdy bubble ponytail and long-wear liner. Aladdin wears white joggers, a fitted cream shirt, a purple bomber-style vest, a red sash and brown sneakers, and his red cap needs to fit snugly so he isn't fixing it all night. I put the foam lamp on a wrist loop so it can't be left behind. Skip trailing fabric and wide structures. Machine-washable pieces earn their keep if you'll wear the costumes to more than one party in the season.
27. Work-Friendly Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
For a relaxed office party, small character cues are enough. Jasmine wears a turquoise pantsuit or wide-leg trousers with a matching blouse, gold loafers, simple earrings and a turquoise headband, and a neat low ponytail split with two or three bands hints at her hair without looking theatrical. Polished liner and a neutral lip suit the setting. Aladdin wears white chinos, a cream button-front shirt, a purple sweater vest, a red belt or scarf and brown loafers. The red cap goes on for photos and comes off for the working day. I'd put a little decorative lamp on the desk rather than carrying it about. These stay professional and comfortable while still reading clearly, with no bulky props or revealing cuts.
28. School-Friendly Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
School events call for full-coverage layers, practical shoes and nothing that gets in the way of lessons. Jasmine wears turquoise pull-on pants with a long matching tunic, gold sneakers, light earrings and a secure turquoise headband, with her hair in a braid or simple bubble ponytail and minimal makeup or washable shimmer if allowed. Aladdin wears white joggers, a cream long-sleeve shirt, a purple vest, a wide red fabric belt, brown sneakers and a soft red cap. A flat cardboard lamp stuck on a notebook or tote is a clever prop that won't distract. Skip floor-length scarves and jangly jewellery. In cotton layers, I find both costumes last through lessons, lunch, a school parade and after-school clubs.
29. Jasmine And Aladdin Parade Costume
A parade costume needs impact from a distance, solid construction and shoes for a long walk. Jasmine wears vivid turquoise pants, an embellished long top, a flowing sheer overskirt, cushioned gold sneakers and large light earrings. I reinforce her bubble ponytail with strong elastics plus pins at every section, and outdoors she'll want transfer-resistant makeup and sunscreen. Aladdin wears bright white trousers, a cream shirt, a structured purple vest, a broad red sash, the red cap and supportive brown boots. Gold trim on both outfits reads well from the crowd. Fix the lamp to a short handle rather than holding it loose. Keep hems off the ground, and add breathable linings and hidden pockets for a long route.
30. Jasmine And Aladdin Stage Costume
On stage, bold shapes and strong contrast hold up under bright lights. Jasmine wears saturated turquoise harem pants, a fitted longline top, a gold-edged overskirt, gold dance shoes and oversized light jewellery, with a long bubble ponytail secured well and kept clear of any microphone. Liner, blush and lip colour need to be stronger than usual so they read from the seats. Aladdin wears full white trousers, a cream performance shirt, a purple vest, a wide red sash, the red cap and flexible brown dance boots. Pick trim that catches light without shedding glitter on stage. Make props from foam or painted plastic. When I sew for movement, I add snaps, stretch panels and reinforced closures so nothing shifts during a quick turn.
31. Thrifted Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
Charity shops can supply a detailed costume on a tight budget. For Jasmine, look for turquoise palazzo pants, a matching blouse, gold flats, costume jewellery and a blue scarf, then add removable gold ribbon and a low bubble ponytail. For Aladdin, find white linen pants, a beige shirt, a purple waistcoat, a red scarf, brown loafers and a small red hat. Shades don't have to match exactly when repeated accessories link the two outfits. A light gold vase or plastic container can stand in for the lamp. I wash every thrifted piece before altering it, since some shrink, and I use temporary tape or hand stitches so the clothes can go back into your wardrobe afterwards.
32. Modern Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
Streetwear gives the couple a fresh look while keeping the colours. Jasmine wears a turquoise utility jumpsuit with a gold belt, platform sneakers, hoops and a sleek bubble ponytail, plus a turquoise mini backpack and clean winged liner. Aladdin wears white cargo pants, a cream fitted tee, a cropped purple utility vest, a red crossbody sash and brown high-tops, with a red beanie in place of the cap. A gold metallic water bottle with a curved handle hints at the lamp and is actually useful. Keep logos and graphics to a minimum so the colours stay clean. I'd match the silhouettes, both utility, both relaxed, so you look like a pair and not two people who happen to be standing together.
33. Formal Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
For an upscale theme party, the formal version avoids that cheap dress-up feel. Jasmine wears a floor-length turquoise gown with a fitted waist, gold embroidery, sheer sleeves and a subtle front slit for walking, plus gold block heels, drop earrings, a jewelled headband and a soft bubble ponytail. Luminous makeup, precise liner and a muted rose lip suit it. Aladdin wears an ivory dinner jacket with gold edging, white trousers, a cream shirt, a purple waistcoat, a red pocket square, polished brown loafers and a jewelled turban. Carry a small decorative lamp rather than a novelty plastic one. If you're adding the embroidery yourself, I'd repeat one motif on both outfits; it's the detail that makes them look like a set.
34. Neon Jasmine And Aladdin Costume
Neon brights make this pair stand out at a lively party. Jasmine wears an electric turquoise matching set with reflective gold trim, metallic sneakers, big gold earrings and a high bubble ponytail wrapped in glowing blue ribbon, with vivid turquoise liner and a glossy pink lip. Aladdin wears bright white pants with a cream shirt, a saturated purple vest, a bold red sash, the red cap and reflective brown sneakers. Wrap battery micro lights around a foam gold lamp and tuck the battery pack into a closed pocket. Skip flashing lights, which bother other guests. Reflective tape is worth sewing rather than sticking on, in my experience, because the adhesive kind lifts at the edges after one wash.
35. Jasmine And Aladdin Costume With A Pet
A pet can join in as Abu or Rajah, as long as nothing bothers the animal. Jasmine wears turquoise pants, a matching tunic, gold flats, earrings and a secure bubble ponytail; Aladdin wears white pants, a cream shirt, a purple vest, a red sash, the red cap and brown shoes. For an Abu-style pet, use a comfortable brown harness with a soft red vest panel and a light purple fabric accent. A larger orange pet can be Rajah in a loose orange harness with removable black stripes. Skip masks, booties, tail attachments and anything over the face. Keep the pet on a lead while you carry the lamp. I'd let the animal wear the harness at home for short spells first, and take it straight off if they seem unhappy.
Sewing Aladdin's Vest and Red Cap
Shop-bought Aladdin vests are often shapeless and too short. Making your own is one of the quickest sewing jobs in this list.
- Trace an existing vest or the front and back of a loose tee, then trim the front edges so they curve away from the centre. His vest hangs open and never closes.
- Felt or a medium-weight cotton works best. Felt doesn't fray, so you can leave the edges raw; cotton needs a narrow hem or bias binding.
- Fit it a touch loose across the chest so it doesn't pull open when he raises his arms.
- For the cap, cut a strip of red felt to your head measurement plus a little ease and about 8 cm tall, sew it into a tube, then stitch a circle on top. A strip of interfacing inside keeps it upright, and an elastic loop under the hair stops it falling off.
Turquoise Fabrics That Won't Turn Sheer
Harem and palazzo pants usually come in chiffon or thin polyester, which can go see-through under a camera flash. I hold any fabric up to a light before cutting, and if I can see through it clearly, I add a lining in matching jersey or wear skin-tone shorts underneath. For the gathered ankles, a channel with soft elastic is more comfortable than tight cuffs and lets the pants balloon properly. Chiffon frays badly, so finish the seams with a narrow zigzag or French seams, or they'll come apart by the end of the night. If you dislike the feel of synthetics, cotton voile in turquoise drapes well and breathes better, though it creases more.
Turquoise for Her, Purple and Red for Him
Every good version of this pair starts with the same colour code and then fits it to the people wearing it, the weather and the event. Turquoise separates, white pants, a purple vest, a red sash, gold accessories and well-styled hair set the theme quickly. From classic couples to maternity, children's costumes, formal outfits, family groups and the family pet, all of them can be made your own. I'd put breathable fabric, secure accessories, coverage where you want it and shoes for the walking ahead of any extra trim. Ribbon edging, thrifted pieces, foam lamps and fabric carpets lift plain clothes, and with a little care the two of you will look polished and comfortable all night.
