Carbon Costume

Mymble (voiced by Jennifer Saunders) is a character in the decades-old Finnish Moominvalley franchise. In the most recent remake she is a relatively minor character with a very simply design. Don’t let her design fool you, though. Putting together a Mymble cosplay will take a little bit of DIY.

Mymble is usually seen wearing a very full white coat with yellow stripes, yellow buttons, and purple cuffs that match her purple scarf. Her feet aren’t visible which means that you can wear any shoes you want. And her ginger hair is pulled up in a pointy top knot that you can gel in place so that your wig is always ready to go.

The DIY comes in with Mymbles coat. It is very simple but finding something like it is almost impossible. Your best bet is to buy a dress with sleeves, then use fabric paint to add on the stripes. A little bit of sewing will add the buttons to the front. And you can make purple cuffs by cutting off part of the large purple scarf linked above since Mymble’s scarf is fairly short.

You can also add a hoop or petticoat under the dress to fill it out like Mymble’s coat or you can leave the dress loose for the sake of comfort.

In Shrek 2, the Fairy Godmother (voiced by Jennifer Saunders), also known as Dama Fortuna, schemes to get Princess Fiona to ditch Shrek, believing that ogres aren’t meant to live happily ever after. She even shows up at the royal ball dressed in a red gown, trying to pair Fiona up with Prince Charming while singing “Holding Out for A Hero”. For this costume, do your hair up with whatever product you’ve got, and sprinkle a little stardust on top.
