"Famous person" dressing up ideas needed for 7 year old dd

[TaraQ]

Exactly that really - she needs to go to school dressed up as a "famous person" - either living or dead. She is not mad keen on dressing up so a crazy wig etc is probably a no-go. Need an idea that doesnt involve hours of costume making - any ideas?....

Long black dress / skirt and top, white apron, white headscarf, Florence Nightingale or Mary Seacole according to preference.

Blouse and long skirt, white diagonal sash with VOTES FOR WOMEN on it and lavender and green ribbons sewn / stapled along the edges, any of the Pankhursts.

Does that help?

She has asked to go as Florence nightingale - it's just getting hold of a black dress/apron etc!!!! X

Tara, do you have a black skirt you can use for her? I'm no great shakes at sewing, but I tacked in the waistband and moved the buttons on a skirt of mine for my oldest DD to wear as an Edwardian lady last term. It went down to her ankles, so looked the part. If you have any muslins left from when she was a baby, you can also tack that onto the front of the skirt as an apron (or sew some white ribbon on to make ties). All of the stitching was just removed when she was finished with it and I had my skirt back!

My dd went in her onesie and some glasses as Taylor Swift. Easy!

Hilarious Taylor swift idea! Will have to get looking through my wardrobe I think x

Marie Curie - long skirt, adult's white shirt as lab coat, and a test tube?

Ooh. Good idea to go as Marie curie! Not sure if she will go for it but will try! X
