I bought the pair of canvas type high-top shoes that Margo wears at the flea market for $4. Obviously, this would be something that one could save money on. I could have purchased a smaller skirt and modified it I'm sure to make it fit me, but I chose to purchase one because I could and it was easy. There were skirts available, but not in my size. *Note: I looked high and low for a plaid skirt (like a schoolgirl skirt) at the flea market and second hand store.

one pair of Converse shoes - purchased at the flea market for $4, cleaned and painted as shown in Steps 2-4.

one pair of socks with stripes on them - purchased at the dollar store for $1Īccessories Used (not shown here but throughout the Instructable).

one plaid skirt - purchased from Amazon for $39.95 plus shipping*.one white shirt that shows under the black one - purchased from a second hand store for $3.25.one green colored jacket - purchased from a second hand store for $3.50.one black t-shirt - purchased at the flea market for $1.I had many reservations of 'putting myself out there' for the world to see, but I believe in the purpose of this website (to share what I made) and I know that the many respectable people who will read this Instructable will hopefully see the enjoyment I had into making this costume just by reading about it.Īs everyone who may come up with a Margo Gru costume would get the components of the outfit in different places, I will tell you what I used, how much each piece was and where I got it from. The thing that took the most amount of time was painting the shoes (Steps 2-4.) I spent about $60, and that was because I couldn't find a plaid skirt at the second-hand stores in my size, so I ended up buying it new online. I finished my Margo costume over the course of two weeks. You can see my kids dressed up in their respective costumes in the last step of this Instructable. My youngest ended up changing his mind about three times in the course of a couple weeks and finally decided that he was going to be Mario from Super Mario Brothers. I couldn't pass up that compliment so I got to work to specifically be Margo from Despicable Me 2, because purple minions only show up in that movie. My daughter told me that I looked like Margo and I should be her for Halloween. My youngest had originally decided that he wanted to be a purple minion. Why did I choose to be Margo this Halloween?Īs with most cool mommy's who choose to dress up, it's usually because of their children. (Yeah, I didn't know either until I started searching for info on her.) You can see more about that in Step 8.Īll of this information can be found on /wiki/Margo_Gru.

In the second Despicable Me movie, Margo is wearing a graphic of Wangan-Kun from the Japanese series Bayside Shakedown. In the first Despicable Me movie, Margo is wearing a Lorax on her shirt.

If you haven't seen the movie(s), Margo is the oldest sister of the three adopted daughters of the main character 'Gru.' In true cosplay style, I bring to you my version of Margo Gru from Despicable Me 2.
