Julia Chang (Tekken)

Haw and osiyo, everybody! ^^ Part 2 of my NAHM costume recipes! Today, we'll be looking at Julia Chang, who, like her mom Michelle, is from 'Tekken.'

A picture of Julia. Many thanks to CreativeUncut for letting me use this!

Here's what's needed (NOTE: Most of the materials needed are from the Michelle cosplay, so use any leftovers):

• A green tank top or sports bra
• A brown bra
• Feathers *from the Michelle costume* (found at any craft store, i.e. Michael's, Walmart, JoAnn Fabrics, etc.)
• A blue headband
• A denim skirt
• Brown fingerless gloves
• Black string or a black shoelace
• A brown belt
• White socks
• Brown cowboy boots
• Scissors
• Red fabric marker
• Black marker

How to do it:

1. Put on the two bras. Have a friend or a parent cut out holes for the shoelace. Afterwards, feed the lace through the holes to make an X shape. Tie it and hide the bow inside the brown bra.
2. Put on the skirt. If it's too long, have a friend or a parent mark it at the upper thigh and have them cut it. Make sure you don't show any butt! Put on the belt afterwards.
3. Put on the socks and boots. The socks should at least be seen a little.
4. Now for the headband! Do the same thing you did for the Michelle costume; draw the arrows and dots onto the band with the red marker, but only color the outside of them. Tip a large feather and a smaller feather using the black marker and lightly sandwich them between your hair and the headband. Think stereotypical Native headgear.
5. For her band, just paint some cardboard silver, hot-glue it to a long strip of cloth and leave it to dry and cool.
6. For the necklace and the earrings, you can use any Native American-inspired jewelry.
7. For the hair, just do a pair of braided pigtails and tie them with some colorful hair ties. Put on your gloves, tie the band around your arm (not too tight!) and you're done! ^^

That's it for my costume recipes honoring 'Native American Heritage Month!' On Nov. 18-22, I'll do recipes for five cooks of the anime world in celebration of Thanksgiving, so stay tuned. Nu' tus payni ('Goodbye' in Hopi), folks! ^^
