Have you ever finished a costume late at night after months of work and decide “screw it, let’s go take photos first thing in the morning”? Because that’s exactly what happened. I was tired but determined to take these Senators from Wonder Woman out for a test drive so we could see how the capes would hold up.
I never intended to make most of the costumes in the Wonder Woman film, but that seems to be what is happening. Last year I made a Themysciran village Amazon costume and Diana Prince’s stunning blue gala dress, also started working on a Warrior, and have been helping friends with their Menalippe and Hippolyta costumes. AND these lovely throne room Senators. Because these costumes have taken almost a year to make, there are A LOT of build pictures, so I’ve divided the Senator posts into three: Accessories, Corset/Skirt/Cape, and the impromptu photo shoot we did in Houston with a friend of mine. This post contains the photos my sweet friend Stella took, as well as my husband playing paparazzo, both sets include outtakes.

First up, the gorgeous photos that my friend Stella took. We went to the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park near the Galleria as well as Mecom Rockwell Colonnade near Houston Museum Natural Science in Houston. In retrospect, we should’ve gone to the two sites in opposite order because we got soaked from the humidity and puddles at the Waterwall.
I kept Stella’s outtakes because they make me laugh. I just can’t keep a straight face.
My husband Jerome took some nice photos on my iPhone as well. I look tired (I rightfully was!) but some of these are pretty good!
And of course he had outtakes too. Enjoy!!
