Alex's Harley Quinn Costume


The concept:


I found a red corset and two pair of leggings one red and one black that I hoped would fit. I knew I would have to join the leggings, I was not prepared to have such a big issue with the corset. I had to replace the neck strap with a longer one, I chose to replace it with elastic. I also had to double the drawstring length. This led to the back being open more and lumpy. We got a jacket to cover that. Then there was a fleshy gap between the corset and leggings. We added control top hose and a tutu to reel that in. The idea is to use red duct tape to add diamonds to the skirt. Since we started I found a company that sells plus size corsets and leggings, but not in red. Good to know for the future. For now we are trying to cope.

Loving the gloves. With leftover legging bits I made Max a red cape. Maybe I will make a black one too. The corset strap and bit of elastic was used to make me a head band.
