Sailor Moon is a popular Japanese anime series about a team of teenage school girls who transform into warriors with the destiny of saving the planet Earth, and later the entire galaxy. Usagi Tsukino is the main character and leader of the female warriors. She is one of the most immediately recognizable and iconic anime characters worldwide. And her costume is versatile for women and girls in that you can make it as fun, cute, and flirty as you want. With time, patience, and the right materials you can transform yourself into one of these heroines.

The following steps describes how to make the costume of Usagi Tsukino, however, you can always change it up and dress up as one of the other members of the group. This is also a great idea for a group Halloween dress-up idea for girls. First of all, please find a picture of Sailor Moon for reference when you're creating this outfit.

1. Dress Start with a plain white bodysuit and a navy blue school-girls uniform skirt. Depending on your preference and want for accuracy, you can make it as short as you want. You can make a naval collar like Sailor Moon's from dark blue fabric. Make two large bows out of bright red ribbon. One bow should be glued or sewed on the chest onto your naval collar. The second bow will be attached at the small of your back near the top of the skirt.

2. Accessories Find a gold locket and attach it to the center of the front bow. You can find cheap tiaras at your local toy store in the "dolls" aisle. Put red wristbands at the ends of the gloves. For added details paint small moon designs at the front ends of the boots, on your locket, and tiara. Complete the costume with white elbow-length gloves and red knee high boots.

3. Hair If you don't already have long, long blonde hair, obtain a wig or extensions. Tie the hair into two long pigtails, securing each one with red hair ribbons.

You can complete your sailor scout costume with red socks, boot covers and a tiara. If you are not good at handcraft, My suggestion is to buy an affordable Sailor moon suit with necessary items included.
