At first, she seems prim and proper – always wearing dresses with puffy sleeves and very ladylike behavior. But don’t be fooled, this princess is also a scientist! Princess Bubblegum is always shown experimenting in her lab and developing new inventions. Trace your template onto the felt twice. I adjusted the height so I could just fit 2 on a sheet, if your crown is taller use a second sheet. My makeup plan involves a combination of highlighting and contouring techniques, specifically tailored to achieve a round face shape for an authentic Princess Bubblegum appearance. Princess Bubblegum is a fun character to cosplay because she has such a unique look. With her bright pink skin and candy-like dress, she’s sure to stand out in any crowd. Plus, who doesn’t love Adventure Time? Wrapping Up Emma was really chuffed and we thought it would be fun to do a photoshoot before Comic-con. Rather than a wig we opted for pink hair spray, I think it looks much cuter and there will be no ‘itchy wig’ complaints tomorrow.

If you aren’t a good sewist here are some ready made dresses that would work great for this costume.Princess Bubblegum has pale pink rosy skin, lighter than her hair but still pink all the same. You can use a light pink makeup or body paint to get this look for yourself. Outfit: To add the finishing touch to your Princess Bubblegum costume, you’ll need the right crown. Bubblegum’s crown is very simple – it’s gold, circles all the way around her head and it has only one tall point with a bright turquoise jewel in the center. To add warmth and a touch of playfulness, I apply a warm-toned blush around the nose area, ensuring the character’s youthful appeal. Fold A3 sheet of paper in half and sketch the shape of the crown on the fold. Use the gem as a guide, the proportions of crown will depend on the wearer.

So after much cutting, fiddly zip inserting, sewing and hand stitching, we have one very fancy Princess Bubblegum dress that meets her royal highness’s approval. Cut out the template and test on your model. I shortened the height and narrowed the width of the band. I agreed to make a Princess Bubblegum costume with the thought that I could just buy a pink dress from the op-shop and add a lilac collar and sash, but there were no pink dresses to be found so I had to make one from scratch.

Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum was spawned from the Mother bubble gum and is immortal, meaning she doesn’t age.

I meticulously craft a button-like nose through precise contouring, adding to the charm of the character. Look for a wig with bangs, and try to find one that’s straight for the most part with just a few simple waves or curls along the bottom. Complexion:She’s also fiercely loyal to her kingdom and will do whatever it takes to protect it, even if that means going head-to-head with some of the most dangerous villains. If you are looking for the Princess Bubblegum Crown instructions scroll down, but first let me tell you about how I put the costume together. What do you think? Did I do a good job? I’m pretty pleased at how it turned out, even though it looks simple it was quite a lot of work, 8-9 hours for the dress alone. The crown was much easier (thank goodness).

We are heading to Oz Comic-Con tomorrow. We had a fun time last year when Emma dressed as Raven from Teen Titans, and after many, many weeks of deliberation, she finally settled on Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time. Princess Bubblegum (PB for short) is made of bubblegum (hence the pink), and is the ruler of the candy kingdom. Not just a pretty face, Emma likes her because she is a scientist and inventor “She’s really smart mum!”. Ok, I’ve been told. To capture Princess Bubblegum’s signature look, I use eyeshadow to create a beautifully rounded eye shape that enhances the overall effect. I used a couple of vintage patterns, one for the bodice and another for the puffy sleeves. Neither had a peter pan collar so I drafted that myself. It wasn’t perfect but will a little cajoling, it’s passable. If your felt is stiff enough the crown is ready to wear, but for a sturdier crown I’ve added another layer of felt.Jennifer aka "Mayhem's Muse" is the Cosplay Editor for BoLS and manages Ad Sales and Communications.
