Whaddaya Think?

The Harley costume is more or less complete -- I still need to do a bit more work on the sleeves, and to sew a snap connecting the jacket and the skirt so they don't gape when I lift my arm. Or I could just wear a black t-shirt underneath.

One thing I've found is that the diamond shapes tend to distort visually when applied to a 3D body. I don't know whether it's possible to counter-distort them if I do another version.

Now she needs a hat (I think in this version of the DC-verse Benjamin Green-Field, of Bes-Ben Hats, actually *is* the Mad Hatter) and the Flit gun.

Dayum. Very nicely done, and you look fantastic in it.

That's awesome; I think you've captured the vintage feel but it's also very recognisably Harley.

I meant to comment before now--This is soooo pretty.I don't see how you do it. It looks so tricky to do (and your Vargas pic was great :-)

It's a bit simpler than it looks -- the jacket is based on a sleeveless blouse with a peplum -- I only put the peplum on one half of it. The bottom is a skirt with one half of the front panel done in red. The diamonds are all just appliqued on.
