Step 8: Get a robe.
The main part of the costume will be the one you layer over.You can cover the pockets with another fabric if the robe has pockets.
Step 9: There is a navy blue fabric.
It will work if you can find a wide scarf or shawl.You could wear a long tube top or a short dress.You can buy dark blue fabric.The piece should be able to wrap around you from front to back.To make sure the piece is long and wide, try it on or hold it up to you.If the piece is loose fabric or a scarf, have someone help you pin it closed on the back.If you want to put it on yourself, you can apply Velcro to the piece.
Step 10: You can use a red fabric.

Step 15: Start by wearing a light blue shirt.
Since Mulan was a soft blue, make sure it isn't too dark.You want it to stand out against the blue piece.If you can find one, use a long-sleeved blouse with peasant sleeves.Peasant sleeves end in a band of trim at the wrists.
Step 16: The skirt is light-colored.
You can choose a skirt that is ankle length or floor length.At least a shade lighter than your shirt, the color should be somewhere between white and powder blue.Look for a skirt with some flare to the bottom.
Step 17: The dress has layers on it.
Look for a dark blue dress that is about knee-length, with short sleeves, such as exaggerated cap sleeves or short kimono sleeves.You can either get a sleeveless dark blue robe or cut the sleeves off a robe yourself.
Step 18: You can add a sash.
If you can't make a sash or buy one, you should get the same length in an extra wide ribbon.If you put it around the back of your neck, it will hang evenly in front of you.Wrap the fabric around your waist and back to the front after crossing it at your navel.Wrap the sash around your waist until there is a bit left, then tuck the bits in and pin them.If you want the fabric to look like it comes to a "V" rather than an "X", wrap the sash around your waist with a safety pin.

It should be placed over the top of the other one.If you are about to make a simple knot, loop the fabric over itself at the left front of your waist.Instead of crossing it again, put the two straps on top of each other.To hold the waist belt and straps in place, use a safety pin concealed inside the pink sash.
Step 20: You can choose shoes and hosiery.
You could get away with navy blue or black flats if Mulan wore dark gray flats with rounded toes.In any shade from nude to white, wear pantyhose, tights or knee highs.

The amount of detail you want to get is up to you.You have many options.You can wear gold on a necklace or ribbon.You can make a simple or complex version of Mulan's Crest.Cut out a circle from foam board or cardboard.Draw the dragon with a pencil and then use bronze and gold metallic paint markers to color it.Attach it to a necklace with gold ribbon by punching a hole in it.The hot gun glue can be used to attach the gold ribbon.You can use craft foam, wood, or clay to make a medallion, and then paint it.
Step 22: Make a prop sword.
Mulan carries a sword.The length of the sword is between her knees and hips.The tip of the sword is similar to the head of an arrow.You can buy a prop sword online.You can make a template out of foam board.To make the sword's handle, use toilet paper rolls and masking tape.The full creation should be covered with a paste and strips of newspaper.You can paint it with acrylic paints once it dries.You can wrap the middle of the sword with brown paper or beige fabric and tie it with a burgundy string, the way Mulan presented it to the Emperor.You won't have to carry it around with you if you add another loop of string to the knot.
