Here are the first two costumes released for the 2012 Holiday and Halloween season by Little Adventures, the premier costume maker for girls, toddlers, and boys dress-up clothes. All of the Little Adventure’s costumes are washable and comfortable.

New Blue Barbie Costume and Bride for 2012 from Little Adventures

The Parisian Princess dress-up costume is blue and is as nice as their more expensive deluxe line of costumes. This Paris princess  has a bodice made of soft crushed velvet  which is detailed with an inset of crushed ivory velvet and finished with silver ribbion trim. The full-length long sleeves are made of crushed velvet with detailed China Silk (polyester) ruffles.

The Princess Bride costume is a perfectly sweet wedding gown with its white velvet and satin bodice but it’s also perfect for a medieval princess. Add the optional veil or cone hat. The dress is finished with a ruched satin inset and elegant gold trims and ribbons. The sleeves have tucks and rosebuds as well. The skirt as a gold foil printed  inset and the dress rimmed throughout with a beautiful gold and white braid trim.
