I loved this Homemade Comic Book Wonder Woman Costume. Every piece of it was handmade (other than the wig, tights, and boots). For WW’s top, I drew and cut out the shape of the eagle from yellow felt and sewed it onto a red tube top. For the shorts, I purchased a pair of men’s … Read more
This Wonder Woman costume is a work in progress costume. I improve on it every year. It’s the only sewing I do so my skills don’t improve much from one year to the next. I look forward to Halloween all year so I can wear it. I really lucked out on fabric this year. I’m … Read more
I made this Homemade Soul Calibur Spawn with Cape Costume for a Super Heroes theme Halloween Party. It took me about 7 months to make with an estimated cost of $600 and a lot of late nights. This was probably my stepping stone for many more costumes to come.
There was this costume competition at a night club and the theme was “comic book vs video game.” I had this idea to go as mystique from Marvel because I really like the homemade Mystique Halloween costume idea and that I didn’t think that anyone would think of it because of it being so hard … Read more
Well, this year I wanted to dress up as Wonder Woman but it was a lil expensive for the costume, so I started brainstorming and decided to make my own Wonder Woman Costume. I went to a fabric shop and bought pretty blue and gold fabric, foamy white, and a glittery red and yellow. I … Read more
We do a lot of costume parties, so I am getting used to improvising costumes. Thrift stores come in very handy. For Frankenstein, just took an old blazer and zig-zagged the end of the sleeves. Old dress pants and solid shirt underneath. Painted my husbands hands and face green, a little black around the eyes. … Read more
The Robin costume was made from thrift store items. This involved many trips to countless stores to find the right items to fit my son. There were many tears shed with tired kids in the carts and lots of begging every time we past the toy section. It’s amazing how hard it was to find … Read more
This Homemade Joker Halloween Costume was pretty easy to put together. I found all of the clothing items (blouse, green vest, purple jacket, tie) at the local Goodwill. I wore a pair of old blue jeans. I scrunched my hair a little bit and sprayed it with temporary green hair coloring. For the face, I … Read more
I wanted to do something different from all the usual un-original witches and dark angels you see out on Halloween. After much thought and as I’d never seen a female Riddler then this Homemade Lady Riddler Costume was the idea for me. My shopping list was as follows: Long green vest top (Ebay £6), Mini … Read more
Two classic villains with a new spin. The Joker and Harley Quinn have been around for a long time and there have been several versions of each. I think the classic green-haired, clown-painted-faced joker is the best, but to be the Harley Quinn to that joker would have involved wearing a full body spandex suit … Read more
The Batman and Robin costumes I made were simple and inexpensive, not to mention mostly reusable. They start with a set of gray and black thermal underwear, tops and bottoms. Then I added black and green brief underwear on top of the thermals. Next I added black gloves, tube socks, and stocking cap for Batman, … Read more
This is my Captain America costume. I made it entirely from scratch. I wore it to the “comic book hero”-themed Halloween party I held last night at my apartment. The pants are women’s leggings that took me 2 weeks to find. I finally sent my girlfriend into a clothing store to find me these epic … Read more
