Carbon Costume

Wendy Darling (Ever Anderson) is a character from the new Disney film, Peter Pan & Wendy. This film follows the classic story of Peter Pan about a young girl who meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Wendy and her brothers travel to Neverland with Peter where she encounters the evil Captain Hook.

Wendy’s costume is one that is reminiscent of previous versions but also is a unique take on the costume. She wears a vintage style teal quilted robe with a pirate-inspired white pajamas. This can be recreated with a teal coat or sweater, a white blouse, and cropped pants. She also wears brown boots. Add a prop pirate sword to add to the look!

Gawain and the Green Knight is a classic Arthurian tale. And like Arthur himself, the knights have been gaining new audiences as their tales are once again retold.  Written for the screen  by David Lowery and starring the incredible Dev Patel, the movie is billed as a fantasy retelling of an already fantastical tale. And one can only hope Gawain fares is well in the adaptation as in the original, green sash and all.

Gawain has a yellow cloak that can be reproduced with golden fabric, or a white capelet and Rit dye. Because this movie is stylized and not aimed at perfect historical accuracy, a set of fold-top leather boots (which are great in other cosplays) are also perfect for the costume, as well as a pair of black pants, a chain mail shirt, and a black tunic. A sword and scabbard can be slid into a a medieval belt and you’re ready for your own Arthurian adventure.
