In the newest Catwoman comic series, the original Catwoman needs a break from her anti-hero days as she raises her new daughter. Her friend and apprentice takes over the role for a bit and makes a few modifications to the costume while continuing to live up to the Catwoman name.

 How I Made It

Catwoman has always been my favorite comic character and I jumped at the opportunity to cosplay her when I saw the new costume for the latest Catwoman series. I heavily modified a pleather one-piece suit, by adding a collar, and a working zipper up the front of the suit. I sewed my own pleather gloves, and boot covers and also sewed the buckles on her boots by hand. I used an old belt, and cat mask, with a new pair of industrial goggles for accessories.
