Mama Imelda is Miguel's great-great-grandmother in Pixar's Coco, the stern but loving matriarch of the Rivera shoemaking family in the Land of the Dead. Her purple clothing and dark apron provide the starting point for this adult costume. The Mama Imelda Set costs $82.99.
Purple Clothing and a Dark Brown Apron
The costume combines a purple printed long dress, a purple top, and a dark brown apron skirt. Skeleton gloves and a neck chain are also included. For a photo session, you could give the purple clothing and skeleton gloves their own close-up shots, then photograph the outfit with the apron skirt as well. This keeps the attention on the specific pieces supplied with the set.
For a full-length portrait, include both the printed dress and the dark brown apron in the frame. A closer portrait can give the neck chain and purple top more attention, while a separate hand pose highlights the skeletal accessory.
The Mama Imelda Set and Your Own Additions
The included items are a top, dress, gloves, apron skirt, and neck chain. The listed material is polyester. A wig, skull face paint, and shoes are not included. If you want those additions for your interpretation, choose them separately. When making your costume checklist, list the supplied clothing and accessories together, then put your own wig, makeup, and footwear choices in a separate group.
Body Measurements for the Purple Dress Set
For this purple top, long dress, and apron combination, consider the bust and waist entries together. The M row pairs a 71-74 cm waist with a 91-94 cm bust; L pairs an 80-84 cm waist with a 97-103 cm bust. A wearer whose waist corresponds to M still needs to consider the bust entry when choosing the Mama Imelda set. The chart also includes height, shoulder, and hip measurements to review before making that choice.
The gap between those two waist intervals deserves attention: the chart does not assign a row to waist measurements between them. If different parts of your measurements point to different rows, record that mismatch before selecting the Mama Imelda set. A letter alone does not resolve it.
Viewing the Dress With and Without the Apron
The gallery includes five images: a front view, a front-and-back view, a view without the apron, a comparison with and without the apron, and a two-view image. Use the apron comparison to review both presentations of the costume. The front-and-back image offers another reference when deciding which views you would like to include in your own costume photographs.
Sugar-Skull Styling and Coco Group Photos
For a Día de los Muertos styling option, consider white-and-black sugar-skull makeup and a high bun. You can also make the included skeleton gloves a focus in photographs by choosing poses that show your hands. For a family group, pair Mama Imelda with a Héctor or Miguel costume. Decide together whether you want individual portraits, a group photograph, or both.
For a portrait combining the makeup and gloves, bring one gloved hand beside your face without covering the painted skull details. Include the high bun in the frame so that the hairstyle, makeup, and skeletal hands share the photograph.
