hello.
I am looking for ideas and advice for ....

a prince costume to be worn to a "royal fairy tale princess "
costume birthday party for 4-6 yr olds.

the princess of honor preview shows a very shiny white dress with
lots of pink and bottom made of the ?____? fine net like fabric

so i was hoping for some ideas for a 4 yr old childs "prince"
pattern to use and fabrics to use for that prince costume ?
probably do not want to pstage the princes of honor though... and
of course simplicity always seems best idea for such projects

thank you for any ideas and thoughts,
rob

I would go for a pair of elastic waisted trousers gathered at the knee,
knickerbocker style.Your favorite trouser pattern could be used to make
them, or use a simple pyjama pattern like Simplicity 4381. You could
gather them onto a band of fabric and tie the ends or into an
elasticated cuff, it realy depends on how fussy you are.
If you have a shirt white or other wise I would think about making a
Jabot/ fall of lace on an elastic or velcro, to slip under the shirt
collar. I definatly remember my brother having a lace dress shirt front
for christmas in the late 1970's he thought he looked the biz but he was
about 5 at the time!
I don't know of you want to go so far as to make a coat but if you don't
a long gillet/ waistcoat with braid on would look the part.If not think
of making a simple cloak on a velcro fastening.
I have found a couple of vintage patterns which might give you an idea

This one might show better what I mean by a jabot

and medieval costume pattern i picked up long ago.

Oh, those are cute! Personally, I'd go for the Black Knight with devil
horns on the last one, but that's just twisted ole me! ;)
