Step 2Design and Materials.
After I Planned the costume in my head and did a rough idea sketch, I began my designs for each piece of the costume, as each had to be made separately before being joined.
In my designing, I decided I would been a thicker, stronger interfacing for the belt than for the neckpiece and the wristlet, and, as such, I decided on two types of interfacing, hat interfacing and petticoat interfacing.
Based upon my design, I decided on mats:
~black satin "superhero" fabric
~yellow satin "superhero" fabric
~yellow thread of the same color as the fabric; already had black, which is also required.
~eyelets, pearlized shank buttons, and pearlized snap buttons.
~black satin lacing
~long black glove
~hat interfacing
~petticoat interfacing
~big black & gold buttons
~some clip-on earrings to deconstruct or clip-on or pierced earring bases.
~metal garters
~garter/bra strap elastic for the garter straps
~G hooks (bra hooks/bathing suit hooks/ garter hooks) for top of garter straps
~small section of velcro (or hooks & eyes, snaps, buttons, or zippers)
Other materials required for my costume: knee-high boots, thigh-high fishnets, and a metric ton of bobbypins.
You can use any fabrics of your choice. This fabric was what was available in my local fabrics store. Any yellow semi-transparent solid that has a nice gatherable hang to it can be used for the dress, and there's a plethora of choices for the black fabric, even cotton.
