A bit of costume advice...

[EmilyScissorhands]

A while back, I was thinking about making a Harley Quinn costume. Since I don't have the cash to afford the official costume (Which doesn't look that great anyway), I decided to create my own.



My plan was to recreate her costume while still keeping with the Harley Quinn spirit, and this is what I came up with:



So I decided to resurrect the idea for the Dark Knight movie... So I wondered: What would Harley Quinn look like in the new Dark Knight movie? And after experimenting a bit with what little costume I had, this is what I came up with:




It needs a bit of work, and I took a few liberties with the costume. The hat was originally black and white, and I'm slowly turning it black and red instead. And I need to trim the mask down a bit too, so it's slightly smaller.


So what do you guys think? I need opinions.

Can you see what I'm going for? Am I ruining the Harley Quinn character? What do you guys think?

Oh, and for those who have never seen Harley Quinn, here's what she looks like Officially:

I think you are doing fine with the costume. It certainly keeps in the spirit of Harley and i don't think anyone will begrudge you "tweaking" the costume a bit given the circumstances of the costume being soo pricey and spandexy... I think it'll look great for the movie release and in general! It's cool! biggrin

Oh my goodness! You look fabulous!

That's awesome! It's so good I don't know what would really need tweaking!

The only thing missing is Mr. J

I don't think it looks far off from the original. Plus, it looks awesome! Nice work!  

[Doressa]

It looks fantastic!!! Well done!  

[EmilyScissorhands]

Thanks, guys! ^_^

I'll post more pictures when I get closer to completing it.

Can't wait!

I love it!

I am hoping to be able to go with my friend Mali to a midnight showing of Dark Knight. mrgreen

Oh it looks great!!! How about adding a wide white lace choker and maybe matching wrist cuffs.  

[Levina-jade]

WOW you look great, love the modern twist you gave the outfit!  

[EmilyScissorhands]

Thanks, everyone!

I'll give the lace choker a try if I can locate a good one. I'm going to add red and black gloves with white ruffly thingies.

And here's my Joker!

Tonight, we ran a makeup test on him... We didn't have the right makeup with us at the moment, so we did this with just eyeliner and lipstick. Hopefully, it'll look better when we get the right makeup. (Especially the white clown makeup and green-tinted hair.)


--That's meee, with the Joker threatening me. ^_^


--Me and the Joker again.



--And just the Joker.

Those pictures turned out great! Who was the Joker? oh yeah!!!! It was MEEE!!! I can't wait to see us in our costumes together when they're done. biggrin

I think the costume has turned out great so far. The only thing I would suggest is possibly stuffing the hat a bit with cotton. You can buy cotton stuffing at WalMart, and it's really easy stuff to work with.

Can't wait to see it when it's done.
