Wonder Woman Costume!

Wonder Woman! Well, if Wonder got older and had 4 kids (with Superman!)  I whipped up this cute costume for a Halloween costume party. I think it turned out great! 

Wonder Woman's Bustier
The red corset top started out as a (failed) project. When the gold satin Wonder Woman symbol was appliqued to the top of the red vinyl corset, it smoothed out some of the rough spots caused by trying to sew stiff vinyl into a curved bra cup and saved the corset!
(Notes: For large busted women, always use an underwire when making a corset. Be aware that vinyl is stiff and darts and seams will look pointy and sharp instead of smooth. Vinyl does not breath at all! You will get hot and sweaty in an unlined corset.)

Wonder Woman's Tiara
This headband is made from the stiff red vinyl cut into a tiara shape held on in the back with a wide non-roll waistband elastic. I cut a small star into a piece of the same gold satin used on the corset and covered the red vinyl tiara. Appliqued around the cut out star to show the red vinyl underneath.

Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth 

This was just some gold drapery cord I had laying around. 

Wonder Woman's Shorts

The more mature Wonder Woman is not about to wear her old swimsuit style undergarment! So this soft blue with white stars satin fabric was made with a simple sleep short pattern. The elastic waistband was covered with a purchased gold belt.
(Note: If you can't find a similar fabric, I have also made a version with white paint stenciled/ stamped onto a blue fabric. You can cut a star shape in a piece of cardboard and dab on the white paint, or cut a sponge into a star shape and stamp the painted sponge star onto your fabric. Be sure to let the paint dry before you move it!)

Wonder Woman's Boots

These iconic boots are a simple boot cover that's worn over whatever shoe you want to wear. I traced one of my own boots as a pattern. Then appliqued on the white stripes.
