June Way (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a character from the adult animation series Unicorn: Warriors Eternal.  June has battled against many versions of the Order of Unicorn by harnessing energy from the Evil.  She is a nine-tailed fox who sometimes appears as an anthropomorphic fox in green and white Victorian garb.  To create your costume, you’ll need to choose an era appropriate dress.  If you can’t find an exact match, look for similar silhouettes and shades of green.  You can even layer a high necked blouse under a dress if it doesn’t have the right neckline.  Then, add a pink broach, white opera gloves, and white tights with green heels.  Finish the look with a fox mask and a wide brimmed hat.  You can add a headband with fox ears over the hat so it looks like June’s ears, which protrude through her hat on the show.

She wears a black undershirt with a light green collared blouse-like dress over top, tied with a red ribbon around the neck, and sheer flower patterned dark pink tights.
