Updated: runDisney Mashup Running Costume Idea: Princess Fennec Shand
This post originally appeared on the blog on January 7, 2022. Since then I've run in this costume, during the 2022 Princess Half Marathon, and made a few more pieces available in my Etsy shop. I figured now would be a good time to update this post and feature it again for the upcoming Princess race weekend.
I love a good mashup costume! After runDisney discontinued the Star Wars themed races (Dark Side forever!), I thought I would continue to run races at Disney, but I'd try to incorporate Star Wars into my costumes as much as possible.
I was thinking about Star Wars / Princess mashups for the 2022 Princess Half Marathon weekend, and figured that combining two strong characters portrayed by the amazing actress Ming-Na Wen would be perfect! So here is a fun costume that mashes up her Fennec Shand from the Star Wars universe with Mulan, a character she voiced in the original animated feature.
Princess Fennec Shand was especially perfect for the 2022 Princess Half Marathon race weekend, because Mulan was the featured princess for the half race!
The mashup design is based on a simplified, cartoonish version of Fennec Shand's look, including a control panel up by the shoulder, and several waist belts. Instead of her almost all-black look, though, this mashup design uses the colors of Mulan's iconic "matchmaker" dress.
Featured here is the Princess Fennec Shand costume t-shirt.
You can match this up with the costume leggings below, or the skirt that I wore for the race last year. I also offer the design in a t-shirt dress style; all of these are listed below.
