Sarah Ingle has taken Disney princess
impersonations to an entirely new level. The 25-
year-old from Denver, Colorado, has spent more
than $14,000 on custom-made costumes for the
nine princesses she transforms herself into:
Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora,
Rapunzel, Merida from Brave, and Elsa and Anna
from Frozen.
Sarah, who works as a marketing manager during
the day, owns 17 different outfits and 16
different wigs for her princess transformations,
which take three hours each to achieve.
"It takes a lot of time to get into the outfits
because they have lots of layers that tie up at
the back," Sarah 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."
Regarding her intricate outfits, Sarah says:
"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. I'm very fortunate to
have a full time job that pays for the beautiful
dresses and material because I'm so passionate
about looking the best that I can for the
performances."

The impersonator also naturally has Disney
princess-like features, which helps her pull off
each look.
"I was born with really big eyes, and people were
always telling me that I looked like a cartoon doll
or Disney princess. I suppose that my big eyes
just help me to appear more cartoon-like, which
is great for what I do."


Sarah's gotten so good at her transformations
that she and her boyfriend started a business
called Princess Ever After, where people can hire
princesses for their events (her boyfriend
occasionally accompanies her as a prince). She
charges about $145 to make a princess
appearance at birthday parties and events, but
she also visits children at hospitals and
volunteers (in costume, of course) as well.
"I'll never forget the day that I was asked to
perform for a little girl who was celebrating the
beginning of a break from her cancer

treatments," she says. "Seeing her face light up
as she sang along with me was just incredible
and it was just the most amazing day."
Though Sarah has already made a career of
dressing like princesses, she says her goal is still
one day to be a "real" one. "It would certainly be
a dream to be a real Disney princess - I'd love to
be Ariel. Maybe one day I can go for an audition
and they'll give me my dream job."
