ABOUT MULAN:
1. CORSET – Mulan dresses in traditionally modest Chinese attire. Sophisticated? No doubt, but that’s not what we’re here for! To make our sexy Mulan costume we started with a floral blue corset that was form-fitting and elegant.
2. SHAWL – To protect our modesty, we then added a beautiful shawl with an intricate paisley pattern to imitate oriental styling.
3. FOOTWEAR – Your choice of footwear is entirely up to you. With so many vibrant colors, green, yellow, blue, and black heels all pair perfectly with Mulan’s outfit.
4. WRAP – For Mulan’s flowy skirt, we chose a yellow beach wrap. This replicated her dress well while also tastefully flaunting more skin in a sexy but not overly slutty way.
5. WIG – Mulan has silky black hair which almost feels impossibly straight. If necessary, we recommend a long black wig (around 40 inches) to fall just below the shoulders.
6. SASH – Next, we added a red silk sash over our corset to imitate Mulan’s belt.
7. MUSHU – Optional accessory but Mulan never went far without her trusty sidekick Mushu. Plus, it definitely adds an extra cute factor to this costume.
8. CRI-KEE – Another loyal sidekick, Cri-Kee is a cricket who is supposed to bring good luck in Chinese lore.
9. CAGE – If you want to carry Cri-Kee around with you then we also recommend an ornate gold birdcage, very similar to the insect cage Mulan owns.
Mulan is often overlooked as a sexy Disney Princess costume option. However, that just means there is an opportunity to make a unique and irresistible DIY outfit for your next Halloween party.
This adult Mulan costume is super easy to make at home and full of beautiful and oriental mystique.

This is a colorful, Mulan-inspired party outfit built from a blue corset, patterned shawl, yellow wrap skirt and red sash. It is a creative adaptation of her layered clothing rather than a replica of her armor or matchmaker dress.
Fasten the wrap at its intended waist closure first, then tie the red sash over the top. Keep the knot snug enough to hold its position without restricting movement. Try sitting and walking before the party to check the wrap stays comfortably covered.
A fitted blue camisole or blouse can replace the corset in this guide. Wear it with a yellow skirt and use a red fabric sash to define the waist. The patterned shawl adds another layer, making ordinary separates feel more like a complete costume.
They are optional, but either sidekick gives this loosely inspired outfit a clearer Mulan connection. Choose a Mushu plush if you want one simple prop. The Cri-Kee plush and decorative cage are an alternative for anyone who enjoys carrying a more detailed accessory.
Straight dark hair worn loose works well with the outfit shown here. You can use your own hair or a black wig; it does not need to be unusually long. Tuck the front sections behind your ears or pin them back to keep the shawl and neckline visible.
Friends can dress as Mushu or Li Shang for a Mulan theme. For a wider princess group, combine this colorful outfit with Rapunzel and Snow White. Each person can choose their own dress length and accessories while keeping the character colors.
