It was my favorite costume ever! Its fun being a super hero.
This was my most difficult costume I have ever made, and it turned out being the best. I had no decent pattern to work with because none of the Wonder Woman commercial patterns look like the real thing.
I created a panty bottom and corset top sans boning and attached the two. Then added the zipper. Then sewed the belt below the seam of the waist, and added the loop. Sewed on ric rac in WW logo and ironed on felt stars. The boot slips were very tricky. I created a knee high slip that fit over my actual boots. I zig-zag stitched the white stripe onto the red slip for extra strength. Accessories were easy..wound up my rope for my lasso and it was held on my belt by the velcro attach loop. I appliqued stars to my pleather head and wrist cuffs and I was almost done.
The final touch was adding extensions to my hair. My hair is just longer than my chin and Wonder Womans hair is really long and volumous so that completed the outfit!
