Why I chose to make this costume:
Catwoman is iconic, and I wanted to dress up as her! I already had the black spandex suit, so why not?
Thoughts on this costume:
This was still before the age in which I tackled sewing spandex suits myself. I did enjoy figuring out making the ears for this helmet to modify it, and also figuring out how to cut through metal to have nails to glue on the suit. I still know that I lost a thumb nail to this day, and had to cover up the one finger in plenty of photos. The thing I’m most grateful for from this costume is the amount of friends I was able to shoot so many unique pictures of her with!
