Evolution of Sailor Moon Costumes

The first Sailor Scout Naoko Takeuchi Created is Sailor Venus in manga Codename: Sailor V, which tells the story of a thirteen-year old middle school student, Minako Aino, who has the mission to protect Earth from Dark Agency, with the magical power of transforming into the sailor-suited beautiful Soldier of Justice, Sailor V. This is Sailor V in her Sailor Venus fuku look:

At the end of the manga, Sailor V has another mission to find the other four Sailor Soldiers and the moon princess, and then the Sailor Moon manga begins. This new pretty soldier has Usagi's hairstyle, but she is wearing the same goggles as Sailor V and a very slightly modified sailor scout costume.

This is the original five Sailor Scouts team in their sailor costumes:

In the early versions of Sailor Moon, she wears a red cape like superhero and a gun in her hand:

Sailor Moon’s hair is supposed to be yellow before transforming and silver after transforming:

In the original sketch Sailor Moon has the white boots, but she actually only wears white boots in the incarnation as Eternal Sailor Moon.

Now we have the final anime version of Sailor Moon, all Sailor Senshis wear the same pattern sailor suits:

At the July 6, 2012 event celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi announced that a new anime adaptation was in production and is scheduled to begin broadcasting in summer 2013 for a worldwide release. Do you think that the sailor scouts will have their new costumes again?

How to Make Your Sailor Moon Suit

Sailor Scouts

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.
