This Woman Has Paid $14K to Transform into Disney Princesses

The Denver, Colorado marketing manager (no, being a princess isn’t her job; it’s more of a super pricey pastime) spends her time morphing from the girl next door into your fave on-screen ladies.

With a collection of 17 costumes and 16 wigs, she is able to become any one of nine Disney princesses. Taking hours to achieve each look, Sarah takes turns becoming Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, Rapunzel, Merida and Elsa or Anna from Frozen.

This may have to be my favorite princess dress. 🌹😍 Either this or the sparkly Little Mermaid dress. But not going to lie... It's painful. The skirt weighs like ten pounds and actually gives me bruises. 😂 Not that it's going to stop me from wearing it. 😁

“It takes a lot of time to get into the outfits,” she told Hotspot Media. “Then I have a different wig and makeup look for each princess. I have to contour my face when I play Aurora from Sleeping Beauty because my face is much rounder than hers. And as I have hazel eyes, I have to wear blue contact lenses for the Little Mermaid and Elsa from Frozen.”

Perfect day for a snowfie when your sister is coming into town! 💖 ❄️ Hurry up @faith_ingle what's taking you so long? 😁 Also not liking these contacts... Circle lenses do not work with my big eyeballs. 😂 Will be sticking with my Freshlooks. 🙃

Creating each look herself, Sarah explained that “each dress can take up to six months to make, and I source many different materials from all over the world, including silk and organza before drawing my final designs.”

There was only one time ever I got to wear this... I had an urgent request to visit a girl the following week so I practiced the accent all week long. Literally every day and I would listen to Scottish podcasts and try to repeat them back. I thought I finally had it down and was so excited! Finally the day arrived ...and the whole family had Australian accents! 😂 It completely threw me off and I'm pretty sure my attempt at the Scottish accent was a total trainwreck. 🙊😳

Her finished looks are incredible and bring each animated character to life. And, considering the fact that Sarah has spent an estimated $14,000 thus far, the costumes are as justifiably impressive as they are wildly gorgeous.

Getting ready for another radio interview this morning. Snow White is clearly intrigued. 😂 🍎 Shoutout to my Canadian friends! 🇨🇦 Radio station is in Canada this time -- very grateful for the chance to talk with some folks up north of me. 😄💖
