Coustumes For Princess ?

My 9 year old daughter and I are running the 5K together. She is so excited to dress up as a princess, but me not so much. I'm more of a villains kind of girl, so I'm having a hard time convincing myself to be a princess. For those who have done any of the Princess races, have you seen anyone dressed as one of the villains? Or only princesses? It's become very important to DD that we both dress up, but I just can't bring myself to be a princess!

I have not run the race yet (I am going to run in 2014), but I have looked at lots of race reports and blogs and have seen a lot of pictures of costumes from previous races. People dress up like all kinds of things, not just princesses. Some of the costumes that I have seen are: dalmations, the evil stepsisters, a bride, Minnie Mouse, Tinkerbell and other fairies, pirates, Mrs Incredible, etc. You definitely don't have to dress as a princess.
 

I haven't done the race yet, but I did read a race report where the writer ran in normal running clothes. She said she felt a bit odd, because the vast majority of the runners were dressed up in some way, be it only a running tutu & tiara. So, if I were you, I'd definitely listen to your daughter :goodvibes.

Agree with this^^. The vast majority of runners are in some sort of "costume" even if it is just a tutu and tiara. Lots of variety too, superheroes, villains, fairies, princesses, Dalmations, Toy Story characters, Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Daisy, Goofy, etc. have fun with it!

Thanks for the help! I think it would be fun to dress up along with DD, so it's nice to know that any character will be fine, not just a princess. Although, in my searches I found a picture of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum running costumes that I'm trying to convince DD to wear. I even said I'd be Tweedle Dum. No go. She is determined to be a princess.

And who would blame her? Very few on this board! :rotfl:

Maybe you could be the villain to her Princess? Don't dress up like a Princess if you don't want to be one, dressing up is half the fun though so do dress up. (if you're comfortable doing it.)
 
I love that skirt! Not sure about the price tag, though. I think I'd have to be the Evil Queen for every single Halloween and runDisney event in the future!

they aren't cheap but I have heard nothing but rave reviews on their skirts.

Maybe you can find a less expensive black skirt at Target or a sporting goods store and sew a purple panel on the front. Add a rope stitched low so it doesn't rub and you are good to go.

I love this idea! Should be easy to do and would just as cute!

I ran in a tutu I made for the Royal Family 5k this year, but don't think I would do more than a 5k in a tutu. It didn't itch, but I know I was tugging at it a lot to straighten it for photographers! I made my own sparkle skirt for the upcoming Halloween 5k (was just a test run, but it was green & cute, & I just happened to have a purple shirt -- looks like Ariel!!).

As far as an iron on for a C9 shirt, I would think it would be ok, just make sure you don't move things around because with how tech fabric can be crawly, it might move while you iron and mess up your design!! I also wouldn't wash it before the race because I'd be scared the design would crack.
