Miyuki Hoshizora from Pretty Cure

Pretty Cure! – also known as Glitter Force to English-speaking audiences – is a relatively new magical girl anime show focused around a group of friends and the foes they fight. Miyuki – Emily in Glitter Force – is the fanciful and somewhat flighty member of the group. She’s also more or less the leader though that can shift from mission to mission.

Miyuki’s color is pink and that is the main color in all of her costumes. For her main costume you’ll want a long pink wig done in ponytails. For her crown you’ll need a basic white crown and pink gems that you can glue in place. The bow on her shirt also requires some DIY to glue or sew the gold button in the center of the bow.

For her main outfit you’ll want a white puff-sleeve undershirt, a pink vest with matching skirt, a white crinoline to make the skirt flare out, and pink bike shorts under that. White boots finish off the look though you can use paint to add the pink tips to the toes.

True from True and the Rainbow Kingdom

True (voiced by Michela Luci) is the big-hearted and strong-willed main character on True and the Rainbow Kingdom. This Netflix original teaches viewers the power of empathy and gratitude as well a community and imagination. And while those watching might not have their wishes granted by The Wishing Tree like True does, they can learn from True’s compassionate nature and eagerness to help those around her!

The most iconic part of True’s costume is her hair. Her bright blue pigtails  and white headband are part of her signature. A little glue and some felt balls recreates the bow on her headband so you can more closely match her look. For the rest of her outfit you will need a white blouse with puffed sleeves and a white Peter Pan collar. A pink skirt, pink leggings, rainbow socks, and yellow rain boots complete the look. And of course a stuffed black cat can go along on your adventures the way Bartleby does with True!

Trevor Belmont from Castlevania

Trevor Belmont voiced by Richard Armitage in the Netflix animated series Castlevania is the main protagonist. Trevor’s lineage is that of the Belmont Clan, famously known as a family of vampire killers. He is the last known survivor of his family. During his travels, Trevor meets The Speakers in a town names Gresit. He notices how the people of the town prosecute them and tries to lend a helping hand. An elderly man tells Trevor that his grandson is in the catacombs seeking “the sleeping soldier” who would defeat Dracula’s army. Trevor finds Sypha Belnades turned to stone and defeats a cyclops in the catacombs. After returning above ground in Gresit, the two accidentally land back in the catacombs while battling monsters. This is where the find “the sleeping soldier” who is revealed to be Alucard. The three travel together to gather information and defeat Dracula’s army. Trevor’s personality is a bit cocky and sarcastic. He is especially rude to and untrusting of Alucard due to their family’s century-old history of hatred for each other.

Trevor’s costume deals with a lot of layering. I first recommend ordering two sizes of stencils or making your own with an Exacto knife and mylar paper. If you do decide to order a pre-cut stencil I would choose a small 4×4, and a larger 8×12 or bigger. These stencils will be for the Belmont Crest (you can find high res pictures on google). The smaller crest will go on the right side of your White Medieval Gothic Shirt. You will need to put cardboard in between and use a stencil brush for the cleanest look.  Now do that on the Brown Vest and/or The Black And Red Hooded Cloak using the same process. Once your crests are dry you can put on the outfit. The White shirt will go over your pants, followed by the Red Medieval Cowl (wrap it around almost like if you were tying a flannel around your hips). Keep everything in place with the black leather belt at your waist. Next put on the Red Harness and then the Brown Vest. after that, you can put on the other accessories. Once completed you will have a very original DIY costume for any cosplay event.

Maggie and the Ferocious Beast is a long-running children’s show in Nick Jr. (in the United States, it has other homes in other countries). Maggie (voiced by Kirsten Stone) is an imaginative and adventurous little girl. She lives in Nowhere Land with her friend, the tame Ferocious Beast. Thy explore their world and make lots of friends along the way.

Cosplaying as Maggie is very easy! You start with a pith helmet and some red ribbon to make it look just like Maggie’s. Add a curly orange wig under that and you’ve got most of her most notable costume pieces all set! After that all you need is a yellow t-shirt, denim dress, yellow socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. There are, unfortunately, no Ferocious Beast plush toys as they’re super rare. But if you have a little time and some sewing skills, you can certainly make an adventure buddy of your own!

Although Ronnie is a tried-and-true tomboy she seems to love the color purple. A lavender hair tie and lavender socks go well with black cuffed shorts and purple slip-on shoes. A purple zip-up hoody completes the look of this fun-loving prankster!
