Costumes - Topaz Spectre

Making of the costume:

The costume of Topaz Spectre we made mainly by hand, because we didn't really have anything already done that would suit our style. So, we found some fabric which I had down my garage, which was in both white and black, and we decided that this would be perfect for the contrasting personalities of the villian and hero. We also saw from our research that the villains were stereotypically dressed in darker colours, and the heroes were in brighter colours. So we took the white coloured material up to our art department at school, which you can see above, and folded it in half and painted a border around. We had decided that due to the superheroes name being Topaz, one of the main colours would be blue, and from our research, a lot of superheroes such as superman and [ENTER MORE] that one of the main colours of their costume was yellow. So we painted the border and also the main logo which we decided in an earlier post. [LINK] The rest of the costume was clothes which we had bought in from home, which also continued on with our colour theme, with electric blue leggings and a bright yellow top. She also had a pair of blue boxers on over the leggings, and bright stripy socks on, also continuing with the colour. The final piece of the costume was a mask, which we bought from a costume shop on the Island, and then painted on the make it stand out more. She also wore bright red lipstick and blue eyeshadow, to carry on with our feminist theme of making her even more womanly. Below is the final product of our costume.
