A while back, I made it a goal to create a Once Upon a Time inspired Pullip collection. Last year, I showcased my Emma Swan. Today, I’d like to introduce you to Mary Margaret aka Snow White. Mary Margaret is played by actress Ginnifer Goodwin in the hit TV show.
Once Upon a Time chronicles the lives of storybook characters who were cursed by the Evil Queen to live in a ‘world without magic’ known as Storybrooke, Maine. Mary Margaret is Snow White’s Storybrooke identity.

The first thing I needed for this custom was the perfect stock face. I found that in the Roman Holiday Pullip. Her dark eyes and pale skin tone lent itself perfectly to the character.
Roman Holiday
Her stock wig was practically perfect, as well, though it’s not 100% screen accurate. Roman Holiday has a short hairdo, styled with high, tight curls in the back and short bangs in the front.
It’s not exactly Mary Margaret’s boy cut, but I can live with it for now. In a way, it’s a nice call back to Mary Margaret’s Enchanted Forest look. Ideally, I would like to find the stock wig for Sabrina, another Audrey Hepburn inspired Pullip, because that wig looks like it could be perfect.
The outfit fell into my lap. Like my Emma Swan custom, I thought it would be best to hire someone on Etsy to make a screen accurate outfit for this Pullip. While searching Etsy for possible designers, I stumbled upon a complete outfit that was perfect for Mary Margaret. It was designed by SquishTish. I wasn’t disappointed in the least!
While it isn’t an exact copy of anything specific, the style is on point with the character, with the stylish cape jacket, colorful sweater and skinny pants. Originally, this outfit came with a white tank top, but I switched that out to this striped shirt to fit the Pullip stock body better. The outfit was originally designed for an obitsu body, but even with teflon tape, the head was way too wobbly for me to replace the stock body for this custom. Mary Margaret was seen wearing very similar outfits to this in the past, especially in season 1. The shoes were purchased at Puddle 2015.
I’m very happy with how this Mary Margaret inspired Pullip turned out. I think she looks great. I’m not sure who my next Once Upon a Time custom will be, but I do hope to get to it soon. Creating these Pullips has been so much fun so far!
