Carbon Costume Women
Squigly (Sienna Contiello) from Skullgirls
Squigly (voiced in Japanese by Miyuki Sawashiro and in English by Lauren Landa) is one of the DLC characters in the fighting game, Skullgirls.
While her life as Sienna is covered through the backstory part of her story mode, she’s seen in the rest of the game modes as her undead form, Squigly. Like Filia, she is connected to a parasite, hers being named Leviathan, and he is the being that is keeping her in a ‘living’ form. Her fighting style closely incorporates Leviathan, and also uses song in attacks.
Squigly has light blue skin and dark blue hair worn in two pigtails in red ties (I didn’t include materials for Leviathan, but may try to make a tutorial later), a stitched shut mouth, and intense red eyes. She wears a low cut dark magenta shirt with scooped sides, a giant cartoony skull over her chest, red and white striped disconnected sleeves with a starry flared base over her hands (one of which is skeletal), her skirt is tight and dark blue, with the same sort of flare at the end, with cutouts circling the base, a pair of red and white striped stockings, and it’s finished off with a tall black collar with a white x at the front.
Victoria Page from The Red Shoes
Victoria Page is a character from the 1948 classic film The Red Shoes, and is played by Moira Shearer. The story comes from a folktale and published by Hans Christian Andersen. The film follows Victoria who is an aspiring ballerina who is faced with the choice of choosing between dance and the man she loves.
In the iconic ballet performance scene, she wears bright red ballet shoes that tie up with ribbon, white tights, a blush or cream long tulle skirt, a leotard with appliqués and a blue bow in her hair. If you enjoy sewing and want to add the blue details to her top, sew or attach a blue ruffle/pleated trim along the edge that matches her hair bow.
PJ from Bottoms
PJ is a character from the film Bottoms, and is played by Rachel Sennott. Bottoms follows PJ and her best friend Josie who are seniors at Rock Ridge High School. They create a fight club together at their school to get the attention of her crush Brittany.
PJ has a big personality compared to Josie and this reflects into her costumes. While Josie sticks to cool colors, PJ wears warm ones with lots of red. One recognizable costume is her red rugby s oversized shirt that would make a great duo/matching costume with Josie in the scene that wears a blue one. Add a bandage to your nose and makeup to create a bruised eye to complete the look. Another look is this bold and colorful outfit with a multicolored striped shirt, black suspenders, and brown corduroy pants.
Winona from Don’t Starve Together
Winona is one of the playable characters in the survival horror game series, Don’t Starve.
She is Charlie‘s older sister, and ended up getting pulled into the Constant in her quest to find her and save her, after she went missing. She’s a mechanic and found her way closer to what was going on by working at the Voxola factory.
Winona has black swirled hair like her sister, but it’s swept up into a high hairdo with a red wrap, and she’s got white eyes like a lot of the other characters. Her outfit consists of a white shirt with rolled up sleeves, dark grey overalls, with matching gloves, and black workboots.
Blake Belladonna (Formal Dress) from RWBY
Blake (voiced in English by Aaryn Zech and in Japanese by Yū Shimamura) is one of the main title characters of the animated series RWBY.
This is the formal dress outfit that she wears in the episode ‘Dance Dance Infiltration’ in Volume 2.
Blake has very long black hair (at this point) that she wears a hairbow headband over (in certain shots it’s black, in others it’s this tealy-green? So personal choice on that one), and she has golden eyes. For her formal outfit, she wears a deep purple dress with a slit up the side, a mesh top, black wristbands, and black pumps.
Peyton from Platonic
Peyton (played by Emily Kimball) is a character on the Apple TV show Platonic. Peyton is the much younger girlfriend of Will, who he begins dating following his divorce. She also babysits Sylvia‘s children. Peyton has platinum blonde hair and dresses fashionably even when hiking. She wears a number of different outfits in the series, but for her birthday, she dons embellished jeans, chunky white heels, and a sparkly purple top. She finishes the look with pink eyeliner, silver hoop earrings, and a rhinestone belt.
Aya Tsuji
Aya Tsuji is a minor character in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. She appears in two arcs of the fourth part, Diamond is Unbreakable. She is the manager and aesthetician at the Cinderella beauty salon.

This same ability helps Yoshikage Kira change his face to avoid being identified.
