Uma from Descendants Costume

My daughter Ginger absolutely loves Disney’s Descendants and has been running around singing Uma’s theme song, “What’s my name” for months. Needless to say, she begged me to make her an Uma costume. Typically each year I make costumes for all of us and we have a family Halloween Party. This year, we couldn’t pull off a party, so all my efforts went into this! (My teenage son made his own.)

While there were costume pieces we obviously bought - the wig, the hat, the gloves - a lot was made & adapted (including those gloves & the hat).

The jacket was a hand-me-down fuschia faux leather. After attaching a faux leather back flap to it and some lapels (heat transfer & glue), I lightly spray painted it with black, pastel blue, and bright teal. It worked!

I bought scrap fabric for the gold sequin lapels and the underskirt. Spray painted the skirt gold. Bought fringe for shoulders & boots and spray painted lightly, ditto with gloves. The fringe skirt was made from purchased craft scrap leather, and also painted. The shirt was an old one found in a drawer made to fit, and the logos on back of jacket and shirt were drawn with paint markers.

The bracelets came from my own stash, as did the belts. I added the ribbon and sea bits to the hat - secured through craft store shopping, fabric scrap we already had, and collected old shells & bracelets. Hot glue!!!

She had an ABSOLUTE blast wearing it and we, as always, loved Halloween!
