Three-year-old Lane Rouch is Instagram's tiniest cosplayer.

Cosplaying is the practice of designing and wearing costumes based on characters from books, movies, and television shows. For Lane, this means dressing up as her favorite Disney characters, with a little help from her mom's sewing machine.

The Rouch family lives in Florida, so Lane regularly visits Disney World to snap photos with her favorite characters.

Lane's Instagram account, run by her parents, is a great way to get a closer look at her creative outfits. She may be little, but Lane already has over 350,000 loyal followers.

Check out 22 Instagrams of Lane's amazing costumes.

Lane has been cosplaying since she was just just 10 weeks old, when her mom sewed her a baby-sized version of Princess Ariel's tail from "The Little Mermaid."

The Littlest Mermaid. Lane's very first costume when she was barely more than a week old.
