Carbon Costume

Yukishiro Honoka (voiced by Stephanie Sheh in the American dub) is one of the two main Cures in the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure.  Alongside Misumi Nagisa, Honoka gains the power to turn into a Cure, a legendary warrior.  As the White Cure, Honoka wears a white dress with light blue accents and ties her hair half up.  If you choose to dress as Honoka at school, the process will be relatively simple.  However, to recreate her White Cure costume, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves for a little creativity.  First, you’ll want to layer a short white dress over a light blue petticoat.  Then, you’ll don white arm and leg warmers.  To add the blue details of her costume, you can use iron-on heart-shaped patches on the arm and leg warmers.  Likewise, you can use a hot glue gun to add a heart to your hair bow, as well as add another bow and light blue ruffles to the dress.  You can always adjust the amount of detail you add based on your skill level or commitment to DIY.

Yui (voiced by Ito Kanae and Stephanie Sheh) a supporting character in the anime series Sword Art Online. An A.I. designed to help monitor the mental health of users, Yui is adopted by Kirito and Asuna when they mistake her for a child-aged player lost in the game.  Yui has two primary costumes, a simple white dress with a bow around the middle, and a more complicated pixie-inspired outfit when she is fulfilling navigation duties in ALfheim Online.  Purchasing the pink cosplay dress can be pricey, and doesn’t come with the necessary accessories, so altering a medieval-inspired dress with an asymmetrical hem by removing the sleeves can help evoke the same look, if you’re willing to be a little crafty.  Similarly, stretchy pink bracelets can be worn to mimic Yui’s anklets.
