Hi RPF! This is my first post, but far from my first costume build. The idea for this one came from some pieces of art by artist Alex Schlitz.
So, a week ago I sat down with Gladys and we draped. (My mother is so thrilled that I am using my expensive design degree in some way /Sarcasm).
And flat patterned
And finally after a few nights of playing around, I have a mock-up minus the collar.
It will fit me as well as the mannequin, but Gladys currently has my padding stuck to her to help with the mock-up. I need to drape the collar still, but plan to have that finished today so that I can fabric shop and get this baby cranked out before the end of the week.
I am still in search of gloves that I like. Have yet to decide on red or brown leather and I would really like to not have to make them. I also need to make the harness still. In the drawings it appears to be army green canvas webbing to me, but I think a leather one would look better. I am taking liberties and using the art as a guide/inspiration. I don't plan on wearing a helmet and will style my wig more like her hair in Agent Carter or in TFA than what is in the drawings.
The pants were already found and ordered on eBay. I bought reproduction WWII paratrooper pants that were used for reenacting, so have some wear and tear. I have a vintage wwII army ammo belt that was used for a Wonder Woman cosplay last year that will be recycled as well as a friend's Howling Commando Peggy boots (pics to come) from last year. I plan to buy leggins and forgo riding boots since I spent many of my teenage years in them and find them uncomfortable.
More to come soon!
