Description
I am super happy to release the first image from my Wonder Woman Dress Shoot!
I don't often talk about my design thoughts for projects, but I thought it would be fun to provide some details from this project for those who are curious:
It took me about a week to create the dress at 10-14 hours a day. The hardest part was hand sewing on the gold emblems. The entire upper part of the costume was made from recycled materials and scraps from other projects. The skirts are the only materials I had to buy new.
In design I wanted this dress to have a classic Wonder Woman feel, but I wanted to make it feel a little older in style. I had seen pictures of Captain America costumes that were more antiqued and vintage feeling and I wanted to get a similar effect with a Wonder Woman costume. To that effect I used darker materials than normal for the outfit and went with a more detailed and glamorous design for the emblems. I then fitted the emblems over a traditional corset pattern. I wanted the boots to be leather instead of vinyl, because I feel like vinyl is a very modern material and would instantly place this piece in a more modern era if used. I made a modular cape for the piece that was removed for some shots. You can see it in this particular image draped to the side.
On the note of the cape, I know that wonder woman is not normally depicted with a cape. This goes into another factor for the design. The Wonder Woman universe is centered around a paralleled universe of Greek/Roman mythology. She is a Princess of the Amazons. A warring female tribe of legend, known for their warrior strengths. From that information, I wanted to create an outfit that borrowed style from greek/roman warrior dress. That is were the cape that straps to the breast-plate and the side draped skirts come in.
That was my design for this costume, I am hoping to get a video out soon to show the shoot in motion.
