Eleanor Miller’s outfit follows a crisp private-school uniform template, anchored entirely by her signature mint green color palette. Unlike Brittany’s bright pinks or Jeanette’s oversized purple layers, Eleanor’s look is neat and structured, balancing tailored pieces with a playful silhouette.
Putting this costume together relies on coordinating pale green tones across separate garments. Because you are assembling individual pieces rather than buying a pre-packaged set, matching the shade between the vest and skirt keeps the uniform consistent from head to toe.
The Vest, Shirt, and Necktie
The upper half of the outfit consists of three distinct layers: a standard white button-down shirt, a tailored mint vest, and a striped tie. Start with a fitted white shirt featuring a stiff, structured collar so the tie sits cleanly against your neck without collapsing underneath the vest’s neckline.
A sleeveless mint vest sits directly over the shirt. In animation, Eleanor’s vest is relatively fitted and cropped neatly around the waist. A tailored suiting vest or a smooth knit vest works well; just verify that the armholes have enough room to layer comfortably over shirt sleeves without bunching fabric under your arms.
The necktie provides contrast against the pale vest. Eleanor wears a striped tie featuring teal, darker green, or navy bands. Tie it in a standard four-in-hand knot and tuck the tail neatly inside the vest buttons so it stays flat throughout movement.
Skirt and Footwear
Eleanor wears a pleated mint green skirt that matches the shade of her vest as closely as possible. A tennis-style pleated skirt or an A-line school uniform skirt with crisp knife pleats matches her animated silhouette. Check the waistband height before hemming or adjusting; sitting at the natural waist allows the hem of the vest to overlap the waistband smoothly without exposing your shirt in between.
Her footwear stays grounded in classic schoolgirl basics. Plain white crew socks paired with flat or low-heeled black Mary Jane shoes complete the bottom half. Synthetic or patent-finish Mary Janes hold their shape well, and standard cotton socks can be folded down slightly at the ankle to mimic Eleanor’s animated proportions.
Hair and Pigtails
Eleanor’s hairstyle is one of her most defining features: bright golden-blonde hair parted down the center into two high, bouncy pigtails. When selecting a wig, choose one specifically constructed with a back skin part to prevent the netting from showing between the two sections.
The pigtails sit relatively high on each side of the head rather than resting behind the ears. To keep synthetic pigtails from drooping or tangling, wrap small clear elastics tightly at the base, then finish them with matching mint or teal ribbons tied into small bows. Lightly misting the curled ends with hairspray helps maintain their bounce during hours of wear.
