Zatanna – DC Comics

Made for: Dragoncon 2008

Background: I was originally going to do a another costume for Dragoncon, but that fell through, and when it did I decided to do the Zatanna costume I’d been wanting šŸ™‚

Journal Entries: Read more at my Zatanna tag

Patterns Used:
None

Jacket:
The jacket I lucked into finding, it was a used boys’ tuxedo jacket that fit pretty darn good! I just took it up in the back seams so it would be more fitted.

Vest:
I already had the vest; I just took it up until it fitted the way I wanted, and I also relined it and adding some spiral steel boning for structure.

Shirt/Bottoms:
The shirt I also already had. I bought a pair of black swimsuit bottoms, and sewed the edge of the shirt to it to make it all one piece.

Accessories:
I bought a cheapie costume top hat off ebay, but it was way too small and silly looking. I ended up renting a nice one from our local costume store for DragonCon, and later my husband bought one for me for a Christmas present (I need to find another use for it). The wig was bought on ebay, and I added some extensions to it since it was shorter than I expected. Gloves I had. The shoes I bought locally.

History: I sold most of this costume several years ago so it is permanently retired!
