Ten princess crochet dolls in costume

The Princess Halloween Cosplay Villains crochet doll set takes ten princesses — Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel and Alice — and dresses each one as a villain for the night.

It is a better idea than it sounds. Every doll needs two things read at once: the princess underneath and the costume over the top. That means keeping a recognisable hairline and face while changing the entire palette of the dress, which is a harder brief than making either doll on its own.

An October set that is not spooky

Parents buy this one for children who want Halloween without anything frightening in the room. The dolls are handmade to order in five sizes.

The straight versions are in the Little Princess crochet doll set; the villains they are dressed as are in the Villians crochet doll set. More in seasonal crochet dolls.
