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.

Costuming Themysciran Senators from Wonder Woman: Corset, Skirt, & Cape

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.

I didn’t commit to costuming this gorgeous version of Wonder Woman until I saw the film…and well, I hit the fabric store […]
Costuming a Village Amazon from Wonder Woman
