Aspects Of An Authentic Sailor Moon Costume
Manga and anime is Japan’s contribution to the world of entertainment. What people normally do not know is that these animes originated as comic series created by Japanese cartoonists or mangakas. Pokemon is an example. One anime that appeals to young girls in particular is Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon is a fantasy series that everyone watches for various reasons. One reason for its popularity is the heroine, a young girl in a sailor outfit. This get-up is not widely seen in other regions, but in Japan, most school girls look like this. Another compelling aspect of Sailor Moon is the magical power of the heroine. Even if you’re not into the story, you cannot help but be amazed by the details drawings of the costumes that the heroine and her cohorts wear.
Needless to say, most girls who love to put on costumes for events and even for Halloween are compelled to try a Sailor Moon ensemble at least once. The girls can roleplay as Sailor Moon and even show off the characteristic hand sign that the heroine does whenever she shows off her magic.
How to Create a Sailor Moon Costume?
A white blouse with a sailor collar is the best way to start coming up with your costume. A short skirt should match the color of the upper garment. The short should reach the knees but not cover them. The skirt’s length is crucial to the Sailor Moon outfit because you have to show off your boots. The legs should be covered up to the knees with boots or socks.
The sailor moon hairstyle should also be considered in the ensemble. Big ribbons should be placed on either side of the head, holding up the hair in a pony tail.
Variations of the Sailor Moon Costume
Chibi moon is a unique character in the series because she is flashy and more animated than the rest. Chibi moon is considered as the cutest among the characters because her clothes are always over the top and girly. The best part of choosing a chibi moon costume is that you can wear as many accessories as you want. Head accessories are a must, and you can even wear heart cut-outs as accents.
