I knew before I even saw the film, I'd love Vanellope and want her costume on my body. She's the type of character I cosplay: spunky and cute who doesn't take crap from people. But her adorable candy-coated hair nailed it for me. I love wearing tons of bows and accessories on a daily basis, wearing candies in my hair? Perfect. So I poured all my skill and time into making this costume, and I'm honestly really proud of it.

The hoodie and leggings are jersey spandex, with elastic for the purple stripe on the leggings. The hood of the hoodie is lined with the same material. I carefully lined up the stripes so that when I sewed the leggings together it would make that continuous swirl on the one leg, and the horizontal stripes on the other. The skirt is a midweight satin heavily interfaced and accordion pleated so that it would look like a reese's peanut butter cup wrapper (cause that's what they used as a model for her skirt). The candy pieces (minus the gummy bears, peppermint and sugar hearts) are made from sculpey and painted.

Wig is an Arda Jeannie in Black 064. I pulled the Jeannie into a higher ponytail. I took the ponytail extension, cut and thinned it down, then sewed it onto the existing ponytail. The candy hair pieces are glued onto the wig/hair.
