What to include in a Fancy Nancy Dress Up Trunk
Has your little girl informed you she wants to dress like Fancy Nancy, and you don’t know where to begin? What items should I purchase? What dress up clothes would make my little diva look like that fabulously fashionable Nancy Clancy who was made famous by Jane O’Connor, the author of the Fancy Nancy book series?
Known for her fashionable but truly unique style of dress, Nancy’s appearance might appear difficult to imitate to some. So we will present you with parameters for creating a Fancy Nancy dress up trunk filled with extraordinary dress up ensembles that are just like what Fancy Nancy would wear. The first rule when creating a Fancy Nancy dress up trunk is this: nothing should match. Rule number two: everything should have either feathers, marabou, jewels or ribbons adorning it. The more blinged out the clothes and accessories, the better! And finally, the boas. There are never too many boas. Plenty marabou and feather boas of all colors is the Number 3 most vital rule for dressing like Fancy Nancy.
For those that are well-acquainted with Fancy Nancy, you are probably well aware that she loves butterflies. Choosing dress up clothes and accessories that include butterflies would be a great addition to your dress up trunk. Possible items to include are: butterfly slide dress up shoes, butterfly sunglasses, butterfly tiaras and of course butterfly wings.
No Nancy dress up outfit is complete without appropriate head wear. Well, a Fancy Nancy fashion look-a-like needs a fabulous pair of sunglasses. Fancy Nancy likes to wear butterfly or cat-eye sunglasses. On top of her head, the number one accessory must be a beautiful jeweled golden tiara. Nancy wears more than one hair accessory at all times. Tiaras of all shapes, styles and colors, big butterfly or flower hair clips, headbands with big bobbly stars or butterflies springing off of them are all great choices. Finally, a gorgeous big floppy brimmed hat decorated with marabou or silk flowers is the final head accessory for your Fancy Nancy trunk.
Moving on to the Fancy Nancy dress up clothes, Nancy is known for her unique style of paring leotards, tutus and frilly leggings. One of the most distinguishable outfits worn by Nancy is her cow print leotard paired with a purple satin poodle skirt. Trying to mimic this unique outfit for your dress up trunk will be tough unless you choose to purchase a licensed Fancy Nancy dress up costume made by one of the large toy manufacturers. But locating one of these costumes isn’t essential for a great dress up ensemble. A cow print leotard will be very difficult if not impossible to find, so we recommend just choosing a pretty sequined spaghetti strap leotard and combining it with a poodle skirt. Supplement your Fancy Nancy dress up trunk with lots of frilly tulle and ribbon tutus. Nancy likes to wear Capri length leggings complete with frilly fringe on the bottom. If you can’t find suitable leggings, you can complete the look with fun and bright leggings, which are also a preferred item for our favorite pint-sized fashion plate.
How would Fancy Nancy outfit her feet? Ballet slippers are always a great choice for Nancy along with any pair of extra large, extra tall heels. You can select a pair of marabou dress up slides that are a size or two big. Generally speaking, dress up slides are quite stable for little girls to wear, even when wearing a size or two too big. For bedtime, Nancy loves her extra fluffy, extra puffy slippers.
Fancy Nancy has her own dress up style, which little girls just love to imitate. With just a little resourcefulness you can amass a magnificent Fancy Nancy dress up trunk for your little diva that is sure to provide her and her friends with oodles of dress up fun.
