The links were very helpful. Thank you :0). The 2nd link has a lot more variety and I am going to email them a picture of the game version and see if they would be willing to make it for me. Thanks again!

Has anyone ever had anything custom made through cosplaymagic.com? I found them on the web and they told me to send them some reference pictures and they would give me a quote for commissions.

They commissioned me at $330.00. I looked at their other work and it looks really good. So far i'm leaning towards having these people make the costume...still need the goggles.
I agree. Finding the right color will be easier with traditional stretch fabric will be easier than with other options, and yes, it will be more comfortable in the long run.
Try and find someone who will send you fabric swatches BEFORE you commision anything. The last thing you want is to pay hundreds of dollars for a custom work, recieve it and only then realize the fabric and color is not to your liking (odds are, the costume won't be able to be returned or exchanged).
Keep up the good work with your researching - don't dive right in and start spending money. Had I done that without first researching my Indy gear, I would have ended up with low-end items that were not screen accurate (and you know how I am about that) and of overall inferior quality.

I think it does need to be said though that if you go with a stretch fabric it won't leave anything to the imagination or allow for any kind of "costume magic". If you go with a non-stretch or even slightly stretchy material tailored to fit perfectly you'll be much more comfortable walking around in it.
And btw, the reason I recommend the faux suede is because to me it appears that the purple fabric has a kind of "furry" quality to it. It's looks exactly like a short fiber faux suede or ultrasuede to me.

Since the rendering exists in the video game world, finding a real-world option to the look of the fabric would be the challenge, however if the design itself is the only real important element, then any number of fabric choices could be made.

that would be awesome! Send me pics when you are done making your future wifes goggles and I will tell you if I like them and ask for a price for you to make me a pair.

The cool thing about this "Help Me With My Costume" thread is that this time the girl is REAL!lol
Was thinking the same thing... Were it not for the Gen Frosty connection I'd be feeling a real weird sense of deja vu...

If it's not too late I'd say purple just because so many sci-fi and horror costumes for women are already black.

I made up my mind. I am going with the dark purple :0)
Purple is the way to go. Catwoman is purple, Bats is black -- complementary in style but different in execution.
As far as the boots go, Demonia makes a wide variety of boots and I can vouch for both the quality and the need for practice (as a guy, I am not used to wearing lifts and almost killed myself several times at NY Comic Con!) but the price is prohibitive if you need to adjust them. Might be worth sending them an email and the game pic and seeing if they have something for you before investigating a good price.
