Wonder Woman – DC Comics

Made for: Dragoncon 2009

Background: I wanted to make a different version of Wonder Woman, closer to the “animated”/Adam Hughes/Terry Dodson look.

Patterns Used:
Simplicity 5006, and KwikSew 3239

Armor Pieces:
In 2009, my husband made a bodycast of me (during which I passed out!). He used it to sculpt the chestpiece, and then cast that in resin and painted it gold.

He also took casts of my arms to make new gauntlets, and made a new tiara and belt out of plastic, and used a new airbrush paint he got to paint them. The gauntlets turned out fabulous, though the gold pieces ended up looking brown. Ended up having to use regular gold spray paint to have it wear-able!

Bodice:
The bodice I made using a pattern – cotton, lining, steel boning & laces up the back. The chestpiece & belt velcro on. The bottoms I made using some pre-printed fabric I found on ebay, using a swimsuit pattern. For MidSouthCon, my husband upgraded the chestpiece and repainted both it and the belt. I was pretty happy with it! (though my husband wants to keep working on it!)

Accessories:
The wig is my Zatanna wig, boots and lasso are from my previous Wonder Woman costume.

History: Still love this costume but don’t get to wear it often. It needs a few repairs.
