The Complete Guide to Dress Up in Mulan Costumes

The Disney classic movie Mulan, which premiered in 1998, has gotten its inspiration from a Chinese legend named Hua Mulan. In this Chinese story, Mulan donned the armor of his father to take his place as a warrior. There was a war in the country at that time, and his father was drafted to become a soldier.

Though he was old, he wanted to fight to serve his country and avoid facing dishonor. Mulan feared for his father’s safety due to his age, which prompted her to hide her true identity and take his place. This element was captured and represented well in the animated movie, making Mulan a very popular female character. It also made her one of the popular choices for women to dress up in during costume parties, comic cons, or photoshoots.
