I started this Homemade Riddler Costume with a hunter green suit because I wanted to go with the understated, darker Riddler instead of the flashy one. 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
This Catwoman Costume took me ages to make! All in all I think it took me a few months to draw up, take screen dump pictures from the Batman Returns film and catch every angle to make sure I had the stitching in the exact same place. Talk about a geek! Or just serious perving … Read more
My son loves Superheroes and so I dressed him in a Superman costume for Halloween. I used blue thermal pjs, red underwear, and red socks – most of which I already had. I had trouble finding red boots (hence the reason for the red socks), but I did happen to find some red rubber sandals … Read more
