Supergirl – DC Comics (70s Version)
Made for: Dragoncon 2013
Background: This was another “maybe” costume I put off til closer to Dragoncon to see if I had the time/funds to make it. I was able to buy the fabric with coupons and finished the bulk of it in an afternoon!

Patterns Used:
KwikSew 3502, KwikSew 3239
Leotard:
The leotard I made using a leotard pattern, just edited for the neckline (although I cut it too long and had to do a quick fix! Which is why there’s that little dart there right underneath it LOL). I bought the Superman symbol patch online and attached it.
Shorts:
For the shorts, I used a pattern for boy-short swimsuit bottoms.
Cape:
The cape I also made out of red spandex – just a gathered square with a neckband.
Accessories:
My belt I made using my old Batgirl belt (since I was remaking it for Dragoncon 2013). I still had some of the fabric from it left-over, and used that to cover the new belt boxes. The boots were my Scarlet Witch boots.
History:
This was a simple and easy costume; not sure when I’ll ever wear it again but it was great easy late night Dragoncon costume.
Please note that none of these costumes are for sale! This is my personal portfolio.
