Beginner

This section is divided into 2 easy ways to make your costume.Please e-mail me if you have a question.

Semi-premade

  1. Get a redi-made leotard in one of these colors: nude, white, or black. Get a size bigger, it will shrink(ie If you're a Extra small, get a small)
  2. Get fabric paint (in the colors you want), that will bend.
  3. Put on the leotard and have some one draw the areas that you will paint with the fabric paint. Make sure the pen (or paint) he/she is using on you is the same color or lighter than the paint you will be using.
  4. Once you have the leotard off of you, put cardboard in the areas you will be painting (this is so the paint won't bleed through to the other side). Paint the leotard.
  5. After your leotard had be painted, wash it two times by hand and air dry it.
  6. I suggest you wear a thong(or regular underwear) that is nude. Gals over the age of 12, get a sportslike bra or dancer's bra that is nude(you can find these at Danskin or Capezio), Guys-Get support underwear or thongs that are nude(also can be found at Capezio or Danskin).
    Made by You!
  1. Get a pattern that you like for your costume(I used the Cat Woman pattern for Zoe, without the hood).
  2. Get a strechy material, like Jersy(without the holes) or strechy cotton(if you want your cossie to be shiny, get a strechy satin)
  3. Make your costume one size bigger. Use the fabric paint steps abouve if you choose to use fabric paint.
