i'm glad the GPW catwoman pics were posted,
i was going to post them myself as the proverbial "bar"
the kropserkel catwoman is a great costume, but i've always been of the opinion that GPW have a very convincing cat woman.
Dust, great costume so far! and it's been said before, but if there is any way to extend the forehead of the cowl/hood down more, it would look much more accurate.
the fabric on the gotham public works is cire or what is called metallic coated lycra by Oriental zentai catsuits makers
is it expensive? and how well does it breathe?Sakara said:
Kommissar, I now,that GPW catwoman had her suit custom made at a shop in Los Angeles called Trashy Lingerie on La Cienega Blvd.
I'am trying to contact them and ask about custom suit\what fabric they used for this suit.
it breathes the same as spandex/lycra would.Kommissar said:
it all seems to be called metallic spandex now -

I'am in searching of a fabric for this costume till now.
I already was upset, as suddenly my friend from Mexico has prompted to me about one fabric.
It seems to me, that Catwoman's GPW is made from lame fabric.
Because,I've study correctly all photos of her costume and notice that this isn't a faux leather,but very close to it..Not a nylon & spandex mix,but close too.
Simply compare fabrics on photos.
GPW Catwoman fabric
Lame fabric

Its not lame...well not as i understand lame. But it is a spandex mix fabric. Known here in the UK as Cire but often called liquid spandex or metallic spandex, even the black being 'metallic'
see the links above in my previous post, same fabric.

I have not kept up with this for a while so I figured I would let everyone know where I am at. Just started to go jogging 4 days a week to get the cat woman body ( this took a lot of effort lol)
I am pretty sure I will be using these gauntlet gloves and positive I am buying the goggles.
let me know what you think.
At this point I am waiting a few months to order my costume so I can fit in it. I can't wait!
Where can I get these goggles, I know it's a old thread but please respond!
( Edit )
Or even these!

That suit looks quite nice though i have seen shinier versions of the fabric used. Would work well for the leather type costume catwoman wears.
