To save her father’s life, Mulan dresses as a soldier and takes her father’s place in the army. The catch: if she is caught it means death due to the fact that Women were not allowed to serve. However, this was a chance she was willing to take for her family.
In the Disney movie, Mulan struggles with who she is, unable to do things right according to their traditions and honor. When her father is called off to war, she takes his place and leaves home. The ancestors of her family come alive once they realize the horrible decision Mulan had made. They call upon the Great Stone Dragon to bring her home. Unfortunately, Mushu, destroys the dragon while trying to wake him up. He instead embarks on the journey with his little cricket friend, to help Mulan become a soldier and save China.
I have made 3 different Mulan dresses. This is 1 of 3. She wears this dress in the beginning of the film before she dawns the dress to see the matchmaker. It is really ironic that while this dress is seen for maybe only a few moments, most art pieces have her wearing it.
