A California father has taken the internet by storm with his stunning Disney costumes for children, showcasing his incredible talent. What started as a hobby has now blossomed into a thriving business for this creative dad, who has three children of his own.
Meet Jake Thompson
Jake Thompson, a 32-year-old fashion designer, began crafting these magical outfits nearly a decade ago. “After becoming a parent, I realized the fashion industry didn’t quite fit my lifestyle,” Jake shared with BuzzFeed. His unique designs have gained immense popularity among Disney enthusiasts, with costumes for kids starting at $500 and adult versions priced at $1,800. Jake primarily uses organic silk sourced from Europe, stating, “I don’t offer cheap prices, but I ensure that my products are worth every penny.”
His 6-year-old daughter, Mia, is the fortunate recipient of these elaborate creations, including a breathtaking Cinderella gown. Just look at this adorable Snow White outfit! Mia also sports a second Cinderella costume that is truly out of this world. “I modified the wings of the birds to give the illusion of flight,” Jake explained about this whimsical design. The veil features faux birds and wire for added magic. Mia’s little brother makes a charming Prince Charming too!
Viral Success
One of Jake’s most viral pieces was a Fairy Godmother dress made from leftover fabric scraps for Mia. When they visited Disney World, the outfit garnered so much attention that other guests even asked for her autograph—an indication that Jake’s costumes are perfect for Disney character portrayals. “The next day, I received an order for ten costumes,” he recalled.
What child wouldn’t adore owning a Beauty and the Beast ball gown? Just when you think his designs can’t get any better, Jake reveals that the ball gown is cleverly concealed within Belle’s everyday outfit. “Mia is obsessed with transformation dresses,” he noted. “I aim to create costumes that push the boundaries.” Check out the full transformation in the video below.
Adult Creations
And for adult Disney fans, Jake has impressive creations too, with dresses taking anywhere from 12 to 48 hours to complete. His adult costumes also start at $1,800.
Jake’s Instagram account is filled with delightful family moments and his latest designs. Crafting costumes for his kids has led him to discover his true passion in the fashion world. “I dream of creating costumes for Broadway productions or live-action films someday,” he shared. “However, I will always dedicate time to making unique pieces for everyday people—I love providing them with exceptional outfits they can’t find anywhere else.”
