I love a good mashup costume! After runDisney discontinued the Star Wars themed races (Dark Side forever!), I thought I would continue to run races at Disney, but I'd try to incorporate Star Wars into my costumes as much as possible.
I was thinking about Star Wars / Princess mashups, and figured that combining two strong characters portrayed by the amazing actress Ming-Na Wen would be perfect! So here is a fun costume that mashes up her Fennec Shand from the Star Wars universe with Mulan, a character she voiced in the original animated feature. Princess Fennec Shand is especially perfect for the upcoming Princess Half Marathon race weekend, because Mulan is the featured princess for the half marathon!
The mashup design is based on a simplified, cartoonish version of Fennec Shand's look, including a control panel and several waist belts. Instead of her almost all-black look, though, this mashup design uses the colors of Mulan's "matchmaker" dress.
Featured here is the Princess Fennec Shand costume t-shirt. You can match this up with the costume leggings below, or opt to wear the costume t-shirt dress instead.
In their Zazzle shop, Disney offers a huge selection of officially licensed apparel and other gear. I previously shared how to use Zazzle's tools to customize race t-shirts, and shared some simple printed costume pieces using leggings with matching tank tops.
