Q&A for How to Make a Wonder Woman Costume

Wonder Woman typically has black hair, shoulder-length or longer. Your style should match the specific version you portray, ranging from thick and curly to straight. She usually does not have bangs, except in versions like the black suit or current DC animated movie universe, where it might be in a loose ponytail. If you have short hair, some comic iterations show her with a pixie cut.

Not heavy. She is known for her natural beauty, so go with more of a natural look.

For events like ComiCon or Halloween, you should include the lasso as it's a highly recognizable prop. For other occasions, whether to include it is entirely up to you.

Yes, you can certainly wear pants instead of a skirt. Several versions of Wonder Woman feature her in blue or black pants, such as in the 1974 TV pilot, the 2010 redesign in issue #600, and the post-New 52 redesign.

To make the costume look more like Wonder Woman, the bracelets should be gold. But you don't have to make them gold if you don't want to.

Of course! Costuming is not always about being screen accurate; you should not hesitate to mix and match different elements of the costumes to get the result you'll be most satisfied.

Yes she did! In fact would probably be easier to use tinfoil for the adult version's logo, as long as you keep it from crinkling.

Yes, you can make the costume for a friend. Ensure you have accurate measurements, as an ill-fitting costume will be uncomfortable and unflattering.
