Costume Construction:

The bodysuit is made entirely using swimwear fabrics and is ready to wear in the water when/if I want. The bodysuit is made using a mystery swimwear fabric I found that has a slight shine to it, the suit is fully lined in swim liner. I inset Carol's symbol using metallic gold spandex. The red sash is made using polyester lining fabric, I wanted to sash to be light and catch the wind.
I found a great leather look spandex that I'm in love with (the stretch is FANTASTIC) I use it to make the gloves and boots. The boots are sewn into a pair of dance tights to stop them from riding down as well as creating a seamless appearance. My mask is made using craft foam heat formed to my face then painted with black nailpolish.

I must say, your Warbird is one my my all time favorites.

I just recently made my first attempt at cosplaying her, and had a horrible experience with the boots I made. Sewing them into a pair of dance tights.... brilliant. Was it difficult? Can you tell me a bit more of your technique you did? I may have to try it next time. Other than making a huge mess with spirit gum, only for it to fail. Lol

Its not very difficult to do, but I don't think I can explain it very well without visual aid .... I should make a tutorial. I WILL MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR YOU!

That would be AMAZING and would help so much! I also feel like it will motivate me to actually remake this and try again, rather then stressing over it trying to get it to work. But thank you! :D

And I just realized I had already posted a comment not too long ago saying something similar. Now I just feel ridiculous. lol

Great idea with the dance tights! Truly seamless effect (and extra coverage prevents wardrobe malfunction worries)!! Looks super comfy AND fabulous!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Carol Danvers is my all time favorite (especially as Warbird) and I feel like you totally captured her. Great job! I also loooove how you are not wearing stiletto heels... one of the things I cannot stand when people cosplay her.

Love it!

The boots are an awesome idea! I made myself a Zantanna costume but that would be awesome for the boots!
