13 Cosplays of Halloween: Uniforms of the Undead - Rosario+Vampire

Day 10! We finally hit the decade mark, ladies and gentlemen! ^^ Today, we'll be looking at the uniforms of 'Rosario+Vampire.'

Here are the main characters of the show! ^^ Moka (the pink-haired girl) will be an example, but I'll list the rest of the girls' stuff.
Another pic of the cast! A note to everybody: What Moka is wearing is the common uniform for the female characters on the show, but any kind of shoes and socks can be used. ^^

Here's what's needed to make yourself a 'monster' pupil:
  • A brown skirt or dress (a moss green one also works, too!)
  • Skinny yellow ribbon
  • A white long-sleeved button-up shirt (from the Azumanga Daioh outfit)
  • A green jacket
  • White ribbon (might need another roll. ^^;)
  • Sewing machine or Stitch Witchery (again, might need another roll. ^^;)
  • Black fabric marker (I recommend Stained by Sharpie.)
Here's what to turn yourself into a 'bat' girl on campus:
  1. Draw some plaid lines onto the skirt with the fabric marker, take some yellow ribbon and align it with the lines. Cut them to the desired length and pin them to the skirt. Either sew it by hand or run it through a sewing machine. After you're done, set the skirt aside.
  2. Take the jacket and the white ribbon. Cover the front pocket with the Witchery and iron on the ribbon, shiny side up. For the area with the buttons, align the ribbon with the edges, again shiny side up, and cut slits where the holes and buttons are. Run the jacket through the sewing machine and afterwards, sew up any mistakes by hand (i.e. slits around buttons are too big, a bit too much ribbon, etc.).
  3. Do the same thing with the collar, the cuffs and the bottom of the jacket. On the cuffs, make crosses out of ribbon and either sew them on by hand, run them through the machine or iron them on with some Witchery, of course. Once you're done, set the jacket aside.
  4. Put on the shirt and get the rest of the uniform on, including whatever socks and shoes you want. You're done!
For Mizore:
  • A black tank or a black bra
  • A white kangaroo hoodie *it's the one with a single pocket in the front!* (much like Kaede, make sure it's a little big so it'll expose your shoulders a little.)
  • Bright purple long socks
  • A brown belt
  • Purple cloth dye
  • Rubber bands
  • Turquoise or ice blue ribbon
  1. Make the dye first. This will be used to make the sleeves on the hoodie purple.
  2. Put on the tank and tie the hoodie sleeves with the rubber bands. Do the same with the socks, but make them like Jasmine's ponytail. (little 'Aladdin' ref! >w<)
  3. Dip the sleeves into the dye and hang it to dry. Do the same with the socks, but dip them in a stripe pattern (dye, leave alone, dye, leave alone, etc.) until they're done.
  4. Once the dye on the hoodie is dry, place the blue ribbon on the bottom and run it through the sewing machine. You can also use the Stitch Witchery under the ribbon and iron it on, shiny side up.
  5. Run some ribbon over the two openings of the pocket and pin the two strips to the openings. Highly recommend sewing them on by hand, since ironing them on or running them through the sewing machine may result in closing up the pocket.
  6. Check if the socks are dry. If they are, then put them on, along with the tank, skirt, belt and some white shoes. Put the hoodie on, too, but tuck in the hood and adjust it so your shoulders can be evenly visible. Spray your hair with bright purple color hairspray and you're done!
For Kurumu, leave the long-sleeved shirt from Moka, substitute the green jacket with a yellow tank, use some schoolgirl socks (found commonly online) and some loafers and finish it off with a red bow tie.
For Yukari, use a brown tube top, white long socks, the same loafers, a black cloak and a witch hat (found at Party City, Walmart, Spirit or any costume store) and finish with a yellow bow tie safety-pinned to the cloak's tie.
Hope you enjoyed! <3 And I hope you find your Tsukune...

Next character: Perona (One Piece)!
