My daughter does as authentic as I can convince her to. :-) I even make her jewellry to make sure it all looks right. (except for the tiara in this photo set, she thought she should have a proper tiara befitting a princess. :-) ) Just because it's fun to think Bjarne might get all weak at the knees over the stuff I make just because it's on my little one *grin*, here's my little girl's Christmas concert dress this past winter, based roughly on Bia De Medici and some Disney Princess thrown in to make her giddy. :-) There are proper sleeves to tie onto the puffs, but they were just a little long at the time and were annoying her, so we took them off. http://picasaweb.google.com/49victor/2006ChristmasConcert
She has a pretty convincing little Norse kit as well that she likes because she can grub out in it - its all wool and linen so it washes without trouble.
