Barbra

  Hello citizens of Gotham! I am back with another blog post for ya! This weeks dress is Barbra inspired by the famous batgirl. Barbra Gordan was and excuse my langauge but a total badass. She was a librarian by day and side kick to Mr. Batman at night. Barbra was comissioner Gordon's daughter and she wasn't going to let batman have all the fun fighting crime by himself. She is known for her intelligence and fiestiness throught the comics. I guess this is why I chose Barbra as my inspration for my first ever Halloween costume design.

   I ain't afraid of no joker! I added a ton of elements to Barbra's costume and I used elements from her actual batgirl suit to stick to the whole batgirl theme. Batgirl's suit is orginally purple and gold even though most of you know batman is remembered for his black suit, relating to the bat. I gave her a turtle neck to hide Barbras's true identity, she wears a mask that gives her disguise so I wanted to disguise the top part of her body. Batgirl has the famous bat symbol on the top so I put a poorly drawn batgirl symbol on the center of the costume. It wouldn't be a batgirl costume without the bat logo. The edgy sleeves were inspired by the triangluar ends of a bats wings, The gloves that Batgirl wears actually are pointy as well which is why I added there so it could look cool and you know be like a little weapon to protect herself from all the villains out there trying to destroy Gotham city. Batgirl has a utility belt in case she needs to get batman out of trouble or save someone from danger, so if she needed it i added it to the waist, again I placed another bat to give her a trademark. Lastly, Barbra was given a big purple tutu because I wanted to feel fun and girly while I wore the costume. Batgirl loves to fight crime and it gives her some sort of excitment in her life and whats more fun than having a double life. It's Halloween, I feel like you can go crazy with the most far fetched idea you've ever had and use it to your advantage. I thought if you can go big go big or go home cause nothing is too much on Halloween. So hey if I want to wear a tutu for Halloween I WILL!  I know Batgirl does not have a tutu but mine does cause she's a super cool chick who knows how to have fun and looks good while fighting crime. I wanted to actually make the costume for you to show you the final look but I've been pretty busy so I just purchased my own Batgirl costume for Halloween.

At the end of the day an anonoymus person once said "Be strong, when you are weak, be brave when you are scared, be humble, when you are victorious, be badass everyday." Be your own hero, be a hero , but don't ever back down and don't ever give up. Have an awesome Halloween folks, and I hope you had fun reading this blog. Enjoy.
