Sultan’s Costume “Upcycled” Wedding Dress from Salvation Army

This Sultan costume for Aladdin JR started with a $19.99 wedding dress from the Salvation Army and turned into a full royal look through simple upcycling and strategic embellishment. This page walks through how it was made, including transforming the train into a coat and pants, adding wide gold trim, building structure without a fat suit, and stabilizing a dramatic gold turban for stage.
