Ideas for making princess dress-up more versatile

[asyouwish02]

What are some good ways to make children's princess dress-up play more varied?
Accessories such as tiaras, wands, capes, bags and costume jewellery can give an existing dress a completely different feel. They can also encourage children to create their own characters rather than copying one specific princess.
A small dress-up box with mix-and-match pieces can be surprisingly versatile. What accessories have your children actually used repeatedly?

Why are you asking, eh?

Does it have to be princess dress up, or wider options? Because things like a white coat are a lot more open-ended - could be a doctor, vet, chemist, someone working in a shop or cafe. So if you have a few multi-use bits like a white coat, a cape, overalls, a generic sort of "emergency worker" jacket with then a range of hats, that can cover a lot of bases. Then some real world accessories are useful, like an empty lanyard you can make different badges for, some old plain plastic lens glasses, some handkerchiefs, ties, necklaces, a travel coffee mug, clipboard and pen or little notebook for doing cafe orders.
