I made this Poison Ivy costume to be in a Gotham City Sirens group with my friends, and I love this to pieces! I think I spent a total of around $50 on this because I used a lot of materials from home.
The base of the bodysuit is a t-shirt sewed onto a pair of underwear and then dyed purple and green. After that, I spent hours hot gluing the ivy leaves on and hammered in metal grommets in the back so that I could lace the bodysuit up corset style. Doing it this way ensures I can get the bodysuit over my hips and make a nice snug fit throughout my torso.
The tights and wig were purchased. I pinned ivy leaves into the wig with bobby pins. The shoes were originally black platforms, but I spray painted them green and dusted them with green glitter to make a more glamorous Ivy. I sealed them with glossy sealant to be extra shiny.
By the time I was done with the costume, I had plenty of burns from the hot glue gun, but it was worth it because I had a blast wearing it! I wore it to a few conventions and comic book store parties and everyone loved it. It’s not the world’s most comfortable costume, but fun to wear!

When you put the metal groomers into the body suit did you do that after or before the leaves were on it?
