After spotting a Wonder Woman costume at Party City one Halloween, I knew that I had to give Diana Prince a whirl. Pun intended.
There isn’t much to say about this costume. Because it was one of my first attempts at cosplay, I didn’t have much knowledge when it came to sewing or prop making. For this reason I kept the whole effort pretty simple. The Wonder Woman costume was direct from DC, and came with a cape and bootcovers. I tossed the bootcovers out the window immediately, then went on to find a pair of thigh-high Wonder Woman boots from eBay. They are a bit taller than the ones that Wonder Woman actually wears, but I think they are more fun.
I also replaced the cloth bracelets that came with the costume, added the red earrings and make a Lasso of Truth out of some cording from JoAnns. Simple enough!
I shot the costume with Mason Hladun of Shattered Glam and did my own hair and makeup for the photos. I did things a bit more low-key back then
Mason had a fog machine which made for some pretty cool photos if I do say so myself. We also took some “action” shots of Wonder Woman busting out of her suit to save the day.
Since this shoot I have altered my Wonder Woman costume fairly extensively, which you can find here. Enjoy!
