Why did we do this costume:
Simply this build was her request. Alexis has joined us (Cody and I) with the enjoyment of cosplay and superhero movies. Seeing this costume at a few cons she attended with us, Alexis turned to me and said I want you to build this next. I decided to to incorporate a Avengers theme with her brother as Quicksilver
Build progress:
The base suit was hand mad...e out of 4 way stretch faux leather mix with thin mesh material. I went very carefully all over the reference pictures and laid out every seam and pleat. After the body suit was made to my satisfaction I installed led cording through out to emulate the reference pics. The belt was totally custom made with foam piece to mimic the various items. The battery pack for the leds were attached to the belt. I did add a store bought holster. The knee pads are eva foam coated with plastidip and hand painted designs. The boots are purchased minus the top cuff pieces which were made from craft foam coated with plastidip. Her wrist stingers are totally craft foam with zipper closures. I tried to keep true to the paint color options. The gloves are just satin bridal gloves. We did try the ready hair and the spray we used only lasted less than a hour and stained her undershirt and skin
After thoughts:
I have to say that I have no after thoughts on this costume such as alterations or so. For her size I had to scale a lot of things down.
