Retro-inspired cosplay: Sailor Moon!
So far, our posts have been focused on bridal pairings. While you could definitely use the following pairings as a super-fabulous Senshi-inspired bridal party (who wouldn't like Neo Queen Serenity's dress as a bride??), this is also a glimpse in other ways to dress up as some of the most iconic anime/manga characters out there.
In the name of the moon, I will... outfit you!
Let's start with Sailor Moon, since she's the first one most of us will have met through the series (Sailor V manga notwithstanding). Try pairing this beautifully beaded Unique Vintage gown with our "odango flower" hand made clips. You can use them with or without corresponding odango hair style!
Next, channel your inner brainiac with our Mercury "Bubble Blast" cap and swing dress from Lindy Bop. The cap features dotted tulle, iridescent bubbles, and hand beaded Mercury symbol.
More of a fire sign? We've got you covered! Mars dazzles in a beaded chiffon gown, with feather flame arrow fascinator in shades of red, yellow, orange, burgundy and gold.
Strength and femininity are not mutually exclusive, as Jupiter knows. Pair this grass-green Myrtle halter dress from Lindy Bop with our Supreme Thunder veil. The gold feathers remind us of her lightning rod, but we've flipped the script on her colors-- the flowers are green instead of pink!
Wrap yourself in love and beauty with this shimmering gold brocade dress from Unique Vintage, and our Venus Love Chains hair jewelry, featuring iridescent rhinestone hearts and hand beaded combs.
Grab your keys, because Guardian of Time Sailor Pluto is next! Combine a classic plum chiffon tea dress with an orchid & feather clip with metal key charm.
As peaceful as the ocean, and as melodic as a violin, Sailor Neptune comes to life in this teal chiffon tea dress, perfect for an afternoon out with Sailor Uranus (scroll down for a unique take!). Neptune's fascinator features a variety of flowers on a silk water droplet base, and is accented by a hand beaded planetary symbol.
If you thought we were going to put Uranus in a dress or skirt, we have a surprise! Inspired by the "Teddy girls" of yesteryear, we've put together a head-to-toe look for Haruka that features separates from Mod Cloth and a hand made silk bow tie with her iconic space sword!
Finishing things off, as she is the Soldier of the End, here is our take on Sailor Saturn. Pair an inky black satin dress with our shield-shaped purple & burgundy fascinator with heart crystal, mounted on a narrow black satin headband.
We hope you enjoyed our sample styles for retro-inspired Sailor Scouts! Most of these styles are available in a full range of sizes, and won't hit your piggy banks too hard, either! Let us know what you think, or share your style suggestions in the comments!
