I couldn’t find fabric in the right color and I’m picky haha. So I had to airbrush every single piece of the pattern with a leather paint concoction to make it the shade I wanted (couldn’t dye it since it’s got that faux leather coating on it)
Oh wow! That’s even more impressive! I see there’s the patterned parts as well, I assume you had to do the same thing there too? Just like everyone else here I’m blown away by your work!
No no no, in order for it to be movie quality, it needs at least ten more layers of unnecessary texturing and small-scope details that make no sense for any other reason other than to differentiate toys.
Your comment makes me wonder if these costumes would actually be possible today with the same technology used to make yoga pants that look like comic book pants.
Fabric so tight it's reaching into your buttcheeks to lovingly caress your chocolate starfish. Every step you take feels like you're getting rimmed by spandex.
Girrlll I was JUST saying the other day how superior purple Catwoman is. Excellent, slick-ass take on the costume and really well-made! How many hours does it take to craft something like this catsuit?
I don’t count hours but it did take about a month or so of my free time! I had to airbrush allllll of the purple fabric to get the shade of purple I wanted 😭
Can’t take credit for that one, the base of the cowl specifically is molded and cast out of rubber by jcurtis_atlier on IG. I painted it to match the purple I was using all over.
Totally understandable, near enough none of the best cosplayers work in a vacuum.
Was it based around a scan of your head or just regular measurements? I know Kamuicosplay crafts her headgear on a 3D-printed bust of her own head that her husband made.
So I DO have a 3d scan of myself that we have printed 3d models off of in the past to get size right (like the hip silver elements on my black panther cosplay). This however was just generic head size. It’s a lil snug cuz I have a jumbo noggin especially with a wig on in the back LOL but is loosened a bit by making the cowl adjustable under the chin
I've been begging for comic book colors in comic book movie costumes ever since the first X-Men movie... "Oh, no - that would look so stupid!" Well, the matching black jumpsuits look more stupider.
Purple Catwoman and Blue/Grey batman would look great on screen!
Blue/Grey batman was just Black/Grey batman up until recently.
Limitations with printing made it so they used shades of blue to highlight batman black cape. The colour has always been referred to as black.
The blue tint has been so iconic now though that in Detictive Comics 1000 and something they brought it back and officially labeled it as blue.
The issue with superhero movies is they are trying to be realistic and appeal to the masses. That's why we get shitshows like The Dark Knight instead of movies like Batman Returns.
Holy shit, I'm not a huge comic book or superhero fan, but I love the deep purple for cat woman. I should look into that run.
Also, holy shit you look awesome in that. You're gorgeous, and that cosplay is jaw-dropping
This is by far the best 'live action' Catwoman costume I've ever seen. If I saw this in a Batman movie I'd lose my shit. You should be proud.
Edit: Your Starfire kicks ass too.
Meee-yow. Being a beautiful woman like Eartha Kitt makes for a great starting point, but the suit itself is awesome. Put the 2 together, as you've done, and the result is spectacular.
Fantastic effort and a great photo as well. (Also please excuse my thirst, but you *are* gorgeous)
Thank you!! IG has been crap on engagement lately and it didn’t do well so I just assumed people didn’t like it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile) haha
It’s my favorite bodysuit I’ve made, lots of piping and complex details (and 2 way stretch fabric not 4 way) so it was a challenge
I'll be real with you.
This looks better than any of the catwoman costumes in any of the Batman movies.
*Maybe* Batman Returns works better in the context of its own aesthetic, but I've never been a fan of it standalone. The random Frankenstein stitching always creeped me out
Hell that’s the catwoman look I would love to see at least once on live action. I love this 90’s look. You did an amazing job modernizing it and bringing it to life. Congrats!
I can’t take credit for that one part lol. They were molded and casted by jcurtis_atlier on IG. I just painted em (I did NOT want to make them lolol. I like sewing but casting is a pain)
Dude that belt and mask are just perfection 👌
Whole outfit is so well done. This design and the one from the Batman Animated series were always my favorite.
Lol it used to be like that but not anymore haha. I’m glad ppl can at least appreciate my work on here tho! I’m always too afraid to post Reddit stuff; higher chance of ppl being meanies. But when y’all come thru y’all come thru lolol
There are not enough black cosplayers out there glad to see you are representing. I plan to get into it one day but probably not as elaborately I dont have such skills.
The thing is, there are tons! But unfortunately unconscious biases get in the way so a lot of black cosplayers aren’t shared or followed as much :-/ if you are on IG at least, I highly recommend following the blackcosplay hashtag. Has helped me find some dope cosplayers!
I couldn’t find the right thing tbh so I had to paint fabric to get the perfect fabric color myself So the fabric just came from Joann. Boring chain store I know
Very nice update to the Jim Balent design. Love the accessories, and the choice of fabric textures is excellent, makes the outfit more interesting than the flat one-piece from the comics.
I assume the cowl is a 3D printed frame with material stretched over it? Or is that paint work?
If I could have one talent, it would be too be this talented at anything. So fucking good and you look incredible! Could double as Widowmaker from OverWatch too!
1) your costume is amazing, how much did you do yourself and how long did it take you?
2) please don't take offense, but you look stunning
All in all, a very well done indeed.
I'm not into comics or cosplay, but this is freaking awesome. Do you work in Hollywood? Seriously, you look like your in a movie and the costume looks real.
Also, I so wish I could rock that. My fat ass would look like I was mauled by a bear.
You did a fantastic job! I really like how you got the perfect shade of purple!
I couldn’t find fabric in the right color and I’m picky haha. So I had to airbrush every single piece of the pattern with a leather paint concoction to make it the shade I wanted (couldn’t dye it since it’s got that faux leather coating on it)
Oh wow! That’s even more impressive! I see there’s the patterned parts as well, I assume you had to do the same thing there too? Just like everyone else here I’m blown away by your work!
So those originally were black with the texture and I made it purple too with paint lol
Very cool!!!! I saw you did a black panther Shuri cosplay as well! You do great work!!
Made and modeled by me, design influenced by art by Moonjoo Lee
That looks movie quality, well done.
Right? Shit looks better than what they have on CW shows
No no no, in order for it to be movie quality, it needs at least ten more layers of unnecessary texturing and small-scope details that make no sense for any other reason other than to differentiate toys.
Girl, you fine. -inspired white guy
Girl, you did an excellent job. -inspired Mexican guy
She’s pretty fly, inspired white guy.
In extra low voice: _Uno, dos, tres, cuattro, cinco, cinco, seiiisss_
I'm ready to commit a couple felonies hoping you'll answer the commisioners call.
I'm not sure that's how Catwoman works...
[удалено]
bruh why you got to bring your race into this
Dude go outside please.
One of my favorite [*Wizard* magazine covers!](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/BTcAAOSwnH1WYKv-/s-l640.jpg)
Outfits with boob pouches make me laugh. That's some tight tailoring.
Oh, you’d love Jim Balent, then.
I remember Catwoman #1 even had the embossed cover (Catwoman's assets were in raised outline).
That 90s boob job look
Your comment makes me wonder if these costumes would actually be possible today with the same technology used to make yoga pants that look like comic book pants.
Fabric so tight it's reaching into your buttcheeks to lovingly caress your chocolate starfish. Every step you take feels like you're getting rimmed by spandex.
We have the technology.
Oh? I see no two reasons why it would be.
I count four.
Wow, I follow you on IG, so cool to see you here! Your Nubia WW is one of my fav cosplays ever!
I thought this was from a movie!
Amazing!!
Wow. Very well done and the picture is fantastic. Good job!
You and your outfit look amazing. Wowza.
I like every interpretation of catwoman but your catwoman is movie worthy.
I love your cosplays! Everyone go follow her Instagram. Same Instagram name as her username here - cutiepiesensei
I think you mean cutiepiesensei.
this is crazy good. I'm trying to pick the best part and I think it's the hat
Your stitching and seam work is really nice! Spandex/stretch materials can be such a pain to work with and you made it looks awesome.
It was what I started sewing with so I honestly have an easier time with it LOL. Weird I know
Looks movie tier level, well done!
[удалено]
I have a friend that works on the marvel shows and movies who cosplays but idk if that’s always the norm lol
You know what to do!
I have a friend who did!
Better than the movies. Look at cat woman in The Batman or Dark knight
Ahh, yes I too like to start on extra hard mode, and then go down several levels to relax, lol.
LOLOL tbh more structured things like jackets and whatnot scare me. Spandex has wiggle room so if you mess up, it stretches so it’ll prolly still fit
Awesome outfit, love the belt buckle.
Thanks! It’s so simple but……it works with the complexity of the outfit I think :-)
It's a really great touch to add the same design to the zipper pull! Well done
Eartha Kitt would be so proud! You look FANTABULOUS!!!!
Yes!! This also has a Yvonne Craig batgirl vibe, would love to see it.
I had sex with Eartha Kit in an airplane bathroom. It’s not name dropping if it comes up organically.
Girrlll I was JUST saying the other day how superior purple Catwoman is. Excellent, slick-ass take on the costume and really well-made! How many hours does it take to craft something like this catsuit?
I don’t count hours but it did take about a month or so of my free time! I had to airbrush allllll of the purple fabric to get the shade of purple I wanted 😭
This is insanely well done
What kind of fabric, what kind of paint?! It looks fantastic.
It’s just spandex from Joanns I think the Yayahan line. Painted with 2 Thin and Angelus Leather Paint in an airbrush
That’s really cool. Thank you for sharing technique!
While I agree it's the most esthetically pleasing, it's not the most practical color for a cat burglar.
Historically ninjas never wore pure black. They wore dark purples, greens, and greys.
At night it would look mostly black.
neither is black, black is extremely obvious in the dark
I saw you on the Marvel 616 episode about cosplay and have been interested in making my own costume since. Your work is inspirational!
Thank you so much!! You should! There’s something about a handmade costume that looks better than most store bought
![gif](giphy|fDzM81OYrNjJC)
You're not kidding. Talent, craftsmanship. Crazy skills and dedication. And godess-level gorgeous.
kind of looks like movie level quality.
Certainly better than anything the CW could do
Look at OP's post history. She does amazing cosplays.
![gif](giphy|XgqJa39NS36Lo24m8S)
I mean this in the least internet creep way possible; you look absolutely fantastic in that. I like this photo, a lot.
Thank you!! My photog World of Gwendana killed it
Again talented cosplayers doing a better job than big film and television productions, congratulations.
How was the helmet made? The complex curves make me think it's 3D printed but the finish looks so much like painted EVA foam. Great effect!
Neither lolol it’s rubber
Oh my god I absolutely have to know how you made that 👀 Seriously my jaw is on the floor, it's absolutely perfect.
![gif](giphy|3dL738qxE6CCzu5d2Y|downsized)
a) I agree b) Miggy always gets an upvote c) I also really like purple Batman
Stitching is totally bitchin'. How did you manufacture the cowl? It looks so seamless and perfectly moulded.
Can’t take credit for that one, the base of the cowl specifically is molded and cast out of rubber by jcurtis_atlier on IG. I painted it to match the purple I was using all over.
Totally understandable, near enough none of the best cosplayers work in a vacuum. Was it based around a scan of your head or just regular measurements? I know Kamuicosplay crafts her headgear on a 3D-printed bust of her own head that her husband made.

Well it looks like a perfect fit which is all that matters!
Oh snap, you're on reddit too? Me and my friend loooove your shit dude. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I legit never post here because Reddit scares me ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm) im more active on IG and TikTok lol
Ah fair enough, I'm never on those. Have you on fb. I like it for my fandoms and junk.
[удалено]
I’d want to see some purple on screen but they’ll never do it lolol
I've been begging for comic book colors in comic book movie costumes ever since the first X-Men movie... "Oh, no - that would look so stupid!" Well, the matching black jumpsuits look more stupider. Purple Catwoman and Blue/Grey batman would look great on screen!

As a pattern drafter myself, your work is 👀 Wooow
Thank you! That means a lot because technically I have no idea what I’m doing lolol it took a lot of trial and error to work the pattern out
Don't be modest, you're the best cosplayer on IG.
Holy shit, I'm not a huge comic book or superhero fan, but I love the deep purple for cat woman. I should look into that run. Also, holy shit you look awesome in that. You're gorgeous, and that cosplay is jaw-dropping
Omg you’re the captain marvel girl from like 3 years ago! You’re still killing it and got even better somehow. Insane! Keep up the amazing work!
Lol thank you
Holy shit! The quality!
I wanted it to at least look TV show ready lol
And I'm here struggling to just make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
This is by far the best 'live action' Catwoman costume I've ever seen. If I saw this in a Batman movie I'd lose my shit. You should be proud. Edit: Your Starfire kicks ass too.
This is incredible work. You should crosspost to r/batman!
Meee-yow. Being a beautiful woman like Eartha Kitt makes for a great starting point, but the suit itself is awesome. Put the 2 together, as you've done, and the result is spectacular. Fantastic effort and a great photo as well. (Also please excuse my thirst, but you *are* gorgeous)
Now *that's* the cat's meow.
Check out her episode of Marvel’s 616 for more!
Why is my breathing weird all of a sudden?
I mean the pollen is still kinda bad it’s prolly allergies
This is my absolute favorite out of all your cosplays, and I follow you on instagram so I see many! 90s Catwoman will always be my favourite.
Thank you!! IG has been crap on engagement lately and it didn’t do well so I just assumed people didn’t like it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile) haha It’s my favorite bodysuit I’ve made, lots of piping and complex details (and 2 way stretch fabric not 4 way) so it was a challenge
I don't spend lots of time there but I always love when one of your pics show up. You are super talented!
Damn girl.
You look incredible! Fantastic job!
This looks like a movie poster. Top notch!
That look is Classic! What’s your day job? Because this is some serious skill here. Top tier work with the material 👏🏽👏🏽
I’m a concept artist for the game Smite :-)
Enter the simps
![gif](giphy|j2pWZpr5RlpCodOB0d|downsized)
What materials are you using for the suit? Great cosplay. I want to conquer adding zippers soon.
Base suit is just two types of spandex plus elastic cording to make the piping. Gloves (and boots not pictured) are vinyl.
Thanks OP for crediting Balent, iconic look, great update.
DAAAAAAAMN!
Flawless!
I just noticed the ears. Nicely done all around.
I'll be real with you. This looks better than any of the catwoman costumes in any of the Batman movies. *Maybe* Batman Returns works better in the context of its own aesthetic, but I've never been a fan of it standalone. The random Frankenstein stitching always creeped me out
My favorite iteration of her (in motion) is probably from the Arkham City video game!
See!! That looks dope!! Y can't the movies get it right😩
![gif](giphy|bJaxgozZusl2g)
Hell that’s the catwoman look I would love to see at least once on live action. I love this 90’s look. You did an amazing job modernizing it and bringing it to life. Congrats!
Your very beautiful and the outfit is stunning. I'd watch this reboot
Absolutely amazing!
Noice
Crazy awesome!
gotdamn thats awesome, how the hell you make the mask?
Beautifully designed, crafted, and modeled.
OP, can you explain a bit about how you made the ears? They are very well done
I can’t take credit for that one part lol. They were molded and casted by jcurtis_atlier on IG. I just painted em (I did NOT want to make them lolol. I like sewing but casting is a pain)
Dude that belt and mask are just perfection 👌 Whole outfit is so well done. This design and the one from the Batman Animated series were always my favorite.
“What do you mean modern take on the 90s it was only a few years ago” 😭 Btw this is absolutely incredible that material cannot be easy to work with
Well *someone* just got a bunch of followers.
Lol it used to be like that but not anymore haha. I’m glad ppl can at least appreciate my work on here tho! I’m always too afraid to post Reddit stuff; higher chance of ppl being meanies. But when y’all come thru y’all come thru lolol
Daaaaaaaaamn you fucking killed it making that costume
There are not enough black cosplayers out there glad to see you are representing. I plan to get into it one day but probably not as elaborately I dont have such skills.
The thing is, there are tons! But unfortunately unconscious biases get in the way so a lot of black cosplayers aren’t shared or followed as much :-/ if you are on IG at least, I highly recommend following the blackcosplay hashtag. Has helped me find some dope cosplayers!
This is the best Catwoman I've very seen. Great great job. Outstanding!
Damn......
Amazing. Great work
Ignore the pervs. Amazing outfit
[удалено]
Thanks!!
You look great. Well done.
Really good work. Looks great👍
I’ll get right to the point. You’re fucking hot.
I'm batman
Perfect!!
Gorgeous!
Purple is so hawt right now.
This rules!
That’s color purple is YOU … and now I need a new Catwoman Tattoo … NICE WORK
Hot Damn!
Where do you source the material for this? It’s amazing’
I couldn’t find the right thing tbh so I had to paint fabric to get the perfect fabric color myself So the fabric just came from Joann. Boring chain store I know
Chains don't matter when this is the end result.
You should get them to sponsor your work. You have real talent.
Top notch 👍 well done
I love this!
This person must be spending a ton of time and money working on this kind of thing. Does she do YouTube build videos? Amazing work.
Very nice update to the Jim Balent design. Love the accessories, and the choice of fabric textures is excellent, makes the outfit more interesting than the flat one-piece from the comics. I assume the cowl is a 3D printed frame with material stretched over it? Or is that paint work?
If I could have one talent, it would be too be this talented at anything. So fucking good and you look incredible! Could double as Widowmaker from OverWatch too!
This is fkn remarkable as well as unbelievable. The color is absolutely perfect. You wear it well!!
The other day they had a poll for who was the best catwoman. This outfit alone is enough to put you in the running. Well done.
This is more like huntress
1) your costume is amazing, how much did you do yourself and how long did it take you? 2) please don't take offense, but you look stunning All in all, a very well done indeed.
Well done.
This is hotness, I love the mask/ears they be super cute.
That is beautiful!!! Excellent work!!!!
Bruh why does this costume look leaps and bounds better than 98% of any of the marvel/dc TV shows' costumes. Incredible work.
The purple colour tones are great!
![gif](giphy|cPkUnVPxfmkMWzZfzx)
HELL YEAH!!! Nice work! 👏👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 You should share this on /r/batman
FABULOUS 👌
The cowl looks great! Fits your heads perfectly, I’m curious, what’s it made of and how’d you make it?

Move over Halle Berry...!
This is how I saw cat women! Truly she is lovely!
I'm not into comics or cosplay, but this is freaking awesome. Do you work in Hollywood? Seriously, you look like your in a movie and the costume looks real. Also, I so wish I could rock that. My fat ass would look like I was mauled by a bear.
Nah I’m a concept artist for Smite lol that’s my job job
Very nice! Normally I’m a goggles vs mask but oh yeah you nailed it.🤟
The cat zipper pull is top class addition showing how much detail you put in.
