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.
Regarding her intricate outfits, Sarah says:
The impersonator also naturally has Disney princess-like features, which helps her pull off each look.
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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
