Description
Minnie Mouse is the level-headed bookkeeper and show planner who works behind the scenes of keeping the show running at the House of Mouse. Here's the tutorial of how to make the outfit that she wears in the show if you want to be like her and dress like her.

1. Get a small purple bow to place on the side of your head. Minnie is seen with a bow just at the side of her head where her left ear is. Place it on the left side of your head.

2. Wear a white long sleeve T-shirt. She wears that long-sleeved top. Get one that has a round neckline.

3. Wear a black sleeveless blazer. Get one that is open front and has a shawl collar.

4. Wear a black skirt. She wears a black straight pencil skirt at about knee length.

5. Wear white tights. Minnie wears those tights with her outfit.
* Alternatively, you can wear white leggings instead.

6. Wear purple ankle high heel boots. She wears purple ankle high heel boots with cuffs at the tops.
* Try and get them with a block heel.
* Either in a leather or suede, but they would look better in suede.
* If you can't find a pair with the cuffs, you can make the cuffs in the same or similar material in the same colour.
* Alternatively, you can wear purple calf or mid calf heeled boots.

You can make your own out of ordinary pair. The best pick would be Dansko Bobbi Ankle Boots as they are more accurate where they have the fold down cuffs.

Here are the instructions to make your own cuff boots that Minnie Mouse wore in the show.

1. Rub the leather on the boots and the cuffs with the leather preparer and deglazer to remove the factory finish and to ensure that the paint sticks to the leather well. You may want to sand the leather done with a fine grit to remove the factory shine.
2. Paint the leather with white leather acrylic paint. Do it in thin layers evenly.
3. Paint the soles with white acrylic paint as a primer.
4. When the white paint is dry, apply thin layers of purple leather acrylic paint.
5. Apply the clear sealer to the leather and the soles.

Here's a pro tip: It's recommended to use the leather preparer and deglazer, leather acrylic paint and finisher from Angelus. When painting the soles, it's also recommended to use Mod Podge as a sealer, but add another finisher over that is waterproof.

*****

7. Wear a pair of white gloves.

8. Carry a handheld device. Minnie always has the small handheld computer that acts as the show's schedule. You may want to carry a clipboard that has the schedule.

And there you go, you're now dressed like Minnie ready to organise and plan everything for the show. Have fun wearing this costume at comic cons or at night events if you wish.
