A few years ago, I tried my first attempt at a Catwoman cosplay and it was fun, but I felt like it turned out a little bit cheesy (especially the mask and belt). This build is sort of a re-working of that first attempt. I hope to get this costume to bear some sort of resemblance to my favorite version of Catwoman (drawings by Jim Lee, from Batman: Hush):
This is kind of a quick and dirty build for me, but I'm still very excited to put together something for Wizard World Portland which is coming up in just a couple of weeks. Here's what I'm working with so far (click on the links if you want to track down any of these products):
Wet Look Catsuit:
Cat Mask:
Wig:
Cat Eye Mirrored Goggles:
Whip:
I'll be re-using my black high heels, latex boot covers, and a pair of custom claw gloves that I made last year for my Black Cat costume. I will post pictures as I put this together and will add more pics of the entire costume when it's complete. I'm not sure if the mask that I ordered is going to work because of the contrast stitching (it seems more in-line with Tim Burton's version of Catwoman in "Batman Returns"). But, I'll see what I can do with it. What I love most about Jim Lee's Catwoman is the short spiky hair that's sort of peeking out through the mask (especially at the forehead), along with the giant goggles, and the oversize whip. I'm not sure if I'm going to do the rope/whip belt design for this costume or just hold the whip. Would appreciate any ideas/input you all might have for me! Thanks!
