If you know how to sew, you simply need to follow a tunic dress pattern for the under-tunic and over-tunic. The under-tunic should be white or cream colored in a comfortable fabric, while the over-tunic will also be neutral, but more of a brown or tan color as this is classic of the Viking princess style.

2. The Faux Fur Wrap For The Viking Princess: Purchase a faux fur shawl to wear around your shoulders, or you can get a faux fur cape to go over your dress. With some basic sewing knowledge, you can buy faux fur fabric and make these items yourself. You may also want to sew strips of faux fur fabric to be attached to the tops of boots.

3. Viking Princess Boots: For your shoes, boots that match the color of your dress work great, especially brown or black. Makeup can be kept natural, or any type of makeup you prefer to wear. Your hair should be kept natural as well, avoiding fancy hairstyles. Keep it long and down, without any type of updo or hair accessories.
