This is my version of Poison Ivy, the positively Divine Batman villains (see what I did there?). My friends and I decided to dress up as heroes and villains – more specifically DC and Marvel characters – for our very last day of school ever, and I chose Poison Ivy as I have always wanted … Read more
I’ve wanted to make a Poison Ivy costume now for several years, but never ended up going through with it. Until recently my boyfriend and his friends informed me they throw an annual themed Presidents’ Day Bar Crawl. The perfect excuse to a) wander around town with a huge group of friends while imbibing multiple … Read more
My son wanted to dress up as the Joker for Halloween last year. After looking at a couple of store bought costumes, I realized it would look better to make it homemade. We looked at various thrift stores but couldn’t find anything. So, I decided I would just sew him a Dark Knight Joker costume. … Read more
My son (5 years old) dreamed of being Batman for Halloween. He also dreamed of having Robin as his sidekick, but when older sister backed out – it was left to dear old dad to save the day. With little time (5 days) and a little budget, around $20, we compiled this amazing, if I … Read more
I wore this Riddler costume last Halloween – my band was performing a show at a Six Flags and we were encouraged to dress in costume. This costume ended up being a bit pricey in the end, but I think it was well worth the trouble. Purchased the jacket on eBay for about $40. Got … Read more

I have to point out that we did it at home, and I didn’t have professional make up. Because of the phone camera … Read more
My Joker costume. Like the previous Riddler costume added to the site, this Joker costume was made for a band member(my husband). When starting any new costume especially when I’m unfamiliar with the pattern I always cut a trial costume out in a cheap cotton fabric (calico in Australia). The suit is roughly put together … Read more

I made this Homemade Batman Dark Knight Costume for an office Halloween costume competition. I did it in about 4-5 days, out of things that were already lying around the house.

Two classic villains with a new spin. The Joker and Harley Quinn have been around for a long time and there have been several versions of each.

I had the pants altered to my length and I took 2-3 inches that came off and saved them for the band around my bowler. I purchased a black … Read more
