ABOUT DRAGON:

Dragon is a female dragon who initially guards Princess Fiona in her castle, but later falls in love with Donkey and becomes an ally to Shrek. She has ruby-colored scales, bat-like wings, and a prehensile tail. Despite her fearsome appearance, Dragon has a tender-hearted personality and regularly puts on lipstick hoping to find a mate. In the films, she helps defeat Lord Farquaad and Lord Rumpelstiltskin. Dragon and Donkey’s relationship produces hybrid offspring called Dronkeys. She is a satire of Disney dragons and a feminist twist on the classic dragon-slaying trope.

How To Dress Like Dragon

1. TOP – to make our Dragon costume, we started with a red scale-print crop top that is simply perfect for this look!

2. SKIRT – Next, we added a matching shimmery short skirt.

3. TAIL – This dragon tail is an optional but cute accessory that we personally could not do without!

4. EARS – These ears are identical to Dragon’s and another fantastic addition to this look.

5. WINGS – Rounding out the Dragon aesthetic, we have these cute little wings that simply strap to your back like a backpack.

6. SHOES – Could you ask for a better pair of heels for this look? Matching the color scheme exactly, we slipped into a pair of red and black stilettos.

7. NAILS – Where would any dragon be without a deadly set of claws? Just like these sharpened fake nails in a deep wine red.

8. STENCIL – If, like us, the thought of sketching your own dragon scales brings you out in a hot sweat then this simple stencil can be a huge timesaver.

9. EYESHADOW – Finally, a purple eyeshadow palette can be used to add the finishing touches as well as paint your scales on, if needed.
