My first half marathon was the 2010 Princess 1/2 Marathon. My favorite princess is Ariel, mostly because she swims and is a redhead. I wanted to be Ariel, but not run in costume, so I decided on running clothes inspired by the mermaid.
Green skirt to represent the tail, purple tank for the shell and I glued a tiara from the Disney store to my visor. (I had to add the legging because it was freeeezzzing)
In 2011 I did the Princess 1/2 again (and the Disneyland 1/2 but I went with boring running clothes for that) I wanted to dress as Ariel again, but this time in her town dress.
For this one I made the bow and cut the straps of a black tank to make the corset look. Added with a blue top and darker skirt and you have town Ariel.
Princess 1/2 2013 I made the costume! Yep made it (mostly). I used 2 shirts from target in my desired color, a target skirt in an undesired color, and some gold fabric. The hair is once again all mine :) Mom helped me out a lot with making this one, basically she pinned the pieces together (no pattern btw) and I sewed. Mom also sewed on all the trim pieces for me by hand. (Isn't she wonderful?)
Merida!!
And for Tinkerbell 2014? Nope not a fairy...It's everyone's favorite cowgirl:
I custom ordered the arm sleeves and calf sleeves. I have a sleeveless collared shirt that I will be painting the top of to look like Jessie's shirt and I will be wearing running shorts under that denim skirt :) I'm also getting a red visor to wear. I cut my long hair off in May (to donate), I'm hoping I have enough to put a braid.
Show me your race costumes!
