Aspects of an Authentic Sailor Moon Costume

Manga and anime is Japan’s contribution to the world of entertainment. It is not widely known that these animes originated as mangas, or the Japanese version of comics. Pokemon is an example. One anime that appeals to young girls in particular is Sailor Moon.

Sailor Moon has been dubbed in several languages and is widely popular especially among teeners. One reason for its popularity is the heroine, a young girl in a sailor outfit. It is not commonly known in most cultures, but in Japan, schoolgirls often wear a variation of this outfit to school. The appeal of Sailor Moon is the presence of pretty girls with magical powers. Anyone who likes Japanese art and fashion would love Sailor Moon.

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. Not only will a girl love the ensemble, she can also roleplay as her favorite Sailor Moon character.

How to Create a Sailor Moon Costume?

Start with a white blouse with a sailor collar. A short skirt should match the color of the upper garment. As for the length of the skirt, it should reach the spot just above the knee. The skirt’s length is crucial to the Sailor Moon outfit because you have to show off your boots. Knee high boots are recommended but those who don’t have boots can wear socks that reach the knees and a similarly colored pair of shoes.

A sailor moon ensemble is not complete without the hairstyle. Although a woman need not have long hair to re-create the now-famous Sailor Moon hair-do, to pony tails on both sides of the head are recommended.

Chibi Moon Variation

If you want to prettify the Sailor Moon outfit, you can go for the Sailor Chibi Moon look. 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. If you're costume playing as chibi moon, you can cut out hearts and stars as accents.
