A sexy take on a classic character! I made my very own Buzz Lightyear costume complete with hand painted corset top and retractable wings. That’s right, my wings actually work! I rewired some kids toy wings into my corset; hit the button on the front of the corset and the wings go in and out complete with lights and sound. I also added a laser pointer into my glove to act as my “ray gun” just like Buzz Lightyear would have.
The top began with a white store bought corset that I painted with soft fabric paint. This is different from “puff” fabric paint and actually allowed me to mix colors creating shadows and highlights to make it look more realistic. I finished off the costume with a pair of shorts, white fishnets and white heels.
The entire costume probably cost me around $80 when completed (not including the shoes) but has been more than worth it given the response. Definitely my favorite costume ever. To infinity and beyond!
This is super cute! A funny idea and it’s sexy, not slutty like a lot of girls these days. Bet you win a TON of costume contests!
Hi, is there any way that you would be able or willing to sell your costume?
thank you
How did you make the wings??
As the post says, I bought the wings in the toy section at Target. I then did some work unscrewing the back and wiring the wings (which had a button that connected to a front panel that I removed) through the corset so they worked when you hit the button. I’m unsure if they still sell these wings or not. Before finding them I was going to make some, but found them instead.
You are my hero. That is all.
