I couldn’t me more excited to be home and working on Comic Con costumes! Tomorrow is our local comic con and as the nerds that we are we are dressing up! Amber and I decided since last year we were Batman and Robin that this year we were going to be the villains and we were getting Aaron and Jack to join in!

​Since I was going as the Penguin my costume was the easiest; all I needed was a tuxedo jacket and a top hat. The jacket I found on eBay and the mini top hat at the Halloween store; I already had the grey skirt, white gloves, and white collared top and bought the black pin striped vest at a thrift store. 

​Aaron’s was the second easiest, he was going as Two-Faced. We bought a white suit on eBay and I cut in right down the middle and colored half of it with black fabric dye. I knew that since the fabric was polyester that it wasn’t going to come out black, but as long as it took any color we would be okay. However, I wasn’t expecting it to be so purple; thankfully next to a black polo he had and the grey tie he borrowed from Jack it didn’t look as purple. After the dyed half was washed and dried, I sewed the two pieces back together.

Jack’s costume was the Riddler and for his we also found a white suit on eBay and dyed it green. This time though his was green and we used three boxes of Kelly green dye and it still came out much lighter than hoped for.  I used the same method as I did making my Sally costume to make the question marks on the jacket; I squeezed black fabric paint in a paper bowl and used a paint brush. I used the squeeze bottle to add a few smaller questions marks before setting to the side to dry. Jack already had a black collared shirt and purple tie the mask I also bought at the Halloween store. ​

The last costume was Amber’s; she was going at the Joker and wanted it to be crazy. We found the purple blazer on eBay and bought matching fabric at the craft store. I added the lime green trim along the panel, sleeves and bottom of the blazer. ​

The skirt was made with a simple circle skirt pattern that I added a ribbon tie to and hemmed the bottom. The petticoat was created by created circle skirt with lime green fabric and a fun matching mesh. I added white tulle to really create volume. I found the orange shirt at a thrift store and she borrowed a yellow lace tank top and my purple and green tights. Lastly we cut off the finger tips off of a pair of yellow gloves to complete the outfit.

I was really happy that I was able to get all of these costumes done in less than 24 hours! I can’t wait until tomorrow, we are going to have so much fun and look so awesome!!
