Have you been looking for a really nice Indian costume for girls?  Halloween is coming up soon, but Halloween is not the only reason that people are in the market for costumes.  For example, last Spring my daughter’s class was performing a play at school which involved early American Indians.  My daughter and another of her friends were cast for two of the major parts in the play. The class practiced and rehearsed their parts for weeks and put a great deal of effort into making the play a success.  Now, it wasn’t a requirement, but most of the kids really wanted to look realistic in their costumes and as hard as Katie had worked, I wanted to do all I could to make sure she looked good on stage so I went online to find a really nice Indian costume for girls and was able to find the perfect outfit for her.  She looked magnificent if I do say so myself, and she also received a lot of compliments from parents, teachers and other children as well.  Needless to say, she was extremely happy and daddy got lots of hugs from his little girl.

The Indian costume that Katie and I decided on was the Princess Wildflower child costume.  Katie really liked it because it was very real looking and I was quite happy not only with the way it looked, but also in the quality and workmanship of the costume.  It was very well made.  The costume came with a dress and a poncho that you slip on over the dress. Both were brown in color with tan fringed trim along the bottom with some beads interspersed.  The costume also includes boot covers and two hairpiece accessories that really look great!  It is available in small, medium and large sizes and would make a great costume for Halloween, costume parties or just for dress up fun with friends.

Another adorable Indian costume for a young teen and new for 2010 is the Native Sweetie Teen costume.  A standout from the usual brown and tan Indian color scheme, this cute outfit consists of an artificial suede dress with an aqua color fringe trim, matching vest that ties in the front and attached fringe sleeves.  The costume also includes a headpiece with beads and feathers.  The Native Sweetie Teen Costume is available in teen sizes small, medium and large and is sure to delight your teen Indian princess.

Perhaps you had a different sort of Indian costume for girls in mind; one based on the cultural attire of India maybe?  This gorgeous Bollywood Child Costume is another new design for 2010.  Bollywood is a term used to designate the Mumbai based Hindi-language film industry in India.  Most Bollywood films are musicals.  Your child will be adored and adorned in this beautiful Indian disguise from the Far East.  The costume includes a brightly colored dress loosely designed similar to a sari with metallic fucshia and gold trim and a matching sheer full-length veil.  The Bollywood Child Costume comes in child sizes small and medium and will be available in plenty of time for Halloween.

Indian costumes for girls are a popular pick year after year and are therefore a timeless choice.  The reason for this could be a result of studying about the history of the American Indian culture in school, trying to identify with one’s own possible heritage and ancestry or its vivid portrayal in television programming or films such as Pocahontas.  Certainly the popular Disney film Pocahontas has made an impact on many young maidens, leaving them with a desire to dress up as an Indian Princess.  Sacagawea, whose image is on the U.S. golden dollar coin, was a Shoshone Indian woman who served as a guide to the Lewis and Clark expedition.  Indian women worked very hard taking care of the children, home making duties, basket weaving, cultivating the fields and tanning skins.
