Patterns Used:
None
Leotard:
Really complicated here. I bought the suit from a dancewear site, and I added the yellow zipper pull.
Boots/Gloves:
The gloves were bought locally and the boots were from ebay, and Chase cut leather strips out, dyed them yellow, and we glued them to the top of the gloves and front of the boots.
Accessories:
The fishnets I bought online, as well as the wig. Both wigs – I didn’t love the original one I wore at Dragoncon 2008 so I replaced it in 2009 with a new wig (which I fell in love with and wore with like 10 different other costumes over the coming years!)
History:
It’s an incredibly comfortable costume, a nice change of pace from EVERYTHING else I took to Dragoncon 2008! I’ve worn this a ton in the years after, because it was so easy to wear – despite it’s simplicity it became one of my favourite costumes, and my go-to “comfy” costume for several years running.
Please note that none of these costumes are for sale! This is my personal portfolio.
