Princess Merida Costume Ideas

Princess Merida, Brave's heroine, will be the hottest costume from the movie this year for Halloween. Disney's newest princess dons a green gown and a blue gown, so girls have two choices for which version of the heroine they want to dress up like. Even though there are two choices for a costume, they are sure to be difficult to get as October draws nearer.

Merida is one of the first princesses who has taken control of her own destiny. She is not relying on prince charming to give her a happily ever after. In fact, she may or may not end up having a happy life without a man. One thing is certain, during the movie she is not ready to lose her freedom to marriage. She provides little girls a strong, positive, female roll model, and you can be proud to help you daughter dress up like this strong woman.

The good news is that a curly red wig completes each costume choice. If you wear one of the gowns and a wig, everybody will know that you are Disney's bravest and newest princess. Other recognizable accessories for this outfit will be a bow and arrow. Archery has recently surged in popularity for girls, and there are plenty of options to help compliment a Brave costume.

Princess Merida will be the most the obvious Brave Halloween costume choice, but there are other exciting options from the movie for both girls and boys, men and women.

Popular ideas are as follows:

• Fergus
• Elinor
• The Witch

Even the triplets Harris, Hubert, and Hamish would be a perfect costume idea for three children to wear. Boys who love Brave will love dressing up as these cute characters who even spent a bit of time as bears during the film. There are nearly endless opportunities for one child or groups of children.
