New to RPF - Catwoman costume project

[Sunshine Dust]

So here is what I came up with so far in my research. I am still undecided whether or not I want to wear the purple version or black version. Opinions are much appreciated!

The purple one does not exactly match the game purple but hey we can't have it all can we?

Still stumped on the goggles, and mask.

I think purple is a great Catwoman color but the black is multi-functional.
There are a lot of characters, such as Black Widow, that work with the black catsuit as well.

Once you go black you never go back.
So I'm told....

First and Foremost, from noobie to noobie: Welcome ^_^

Second: definitely purple

Third: I need to get myself a bunk...

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Yeah... the illustration has a matt, roughed surface to it. I'd go with purple...

Purple for me as well. I see too many in the black costume. Possible to find a VERY dark purple and "split the difference"?

 

[AaronLee]

I'd have to vote purple if you can find the right material too. The game/comic purple doesn't really have as much sheen as those latex type suits.

 

[Sunshine Dust]

I know. I would love it if I could find a material that is similar to that. I was doing cosplay costume research at work today. The only sights I found only make the characters they have listed and to my dismay none of them are catwoman. If I can't find a darker purple body suit I might just have to go with the black.

If you found the material, couldn't you sew your own? i would think patterns are readily available.

Could the look of this costume be achieved with a modified wet suit? That's just what the material looks like to me.

Good call! A modified wet suit could be the way to go.

Purple gets my vote!

PURPLE for sho! AND progress pics!!! :love

 

[Risu]

The purple game suit definitely looks to be a faux suede. Next time I'm at Michael Levine's in LA I'll look to see if they have anything like it and I'll let you know.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

Just start emailing the companies linked above and include the game picture and see if anyone is willing to custom make it for you.

I think that a very dark purple would look best. To me, the suit in the picture from the game looks like some heavy spandex that is a bit sparkly.

But I think more important is:
- Get something made of fabric instead of vinyl or latex, or you will sweat a lot.
- Match the colour of the bodysuit with the colour of the cowl.
