Mulan Costume Guide

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.
