About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
I don't know how this costume didn't kill me. I made a full body suit in green wet-look spandex and then cut the sides out on my dressform so they laid the way I needed. I then enclosed the open edges in double fold bias tape. Once that was finished, I had a friend help me pin strips of ribbon across the sides so the suit sat tight. Once those were secured, I sewed a single fold bias tape along the middle of the ribbons. I made the gloves by tracing my arm and leaving openings at the fingers.
- Personal Thoughts:
- Viper/Madame Hydra is one of my favorite characters from Marvel comics and I was so excited to see her represented on film, I just had to cosplay her. They changed the character pretty dramatically from what I know, but I thought it was an interesting and original enough take to make her her own character and I am honored to be the first to cosplay her look from The Wolverine (2013)
