FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Barbara Gordon wears Marc Jacobs Spring 2012, with a bonus Dick Grayson wearing Ovadia & Sons Fall 2012 for tigerlilyattack
Marc Jacobs seemed so wonderfully inspired by 20’s and 60’s attire that I couldn’t resist. Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! Hope you like :’)

_{(Details I missed and didn’t fix because of lazy: her pockets and his right double pocket. Kind of want to do another one later to showcase her blue dress and shoes more.)}  

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 07.11.11

Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving community of costuming that exists today and cosplay communities such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), a weekly collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into our own super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

Check out this week’s round-up of the Best Cosplay Ever on ComicsAlliance, featuring Link and Zelda, Scarlet Witch, Harry Potter, Batgirl (above), and more!

Sartorialist Meets Superhero: Barbara Gordon, dressed for what may be her last summer with us as Oracle, unfortunately.

On a sidenote, I was terrified of putting Barbara in the wrong kind of wheelchair (I’m still quite sure all I’ve done is draw something vaguely alluding to one). Thanks to Google though, I got to read all about this lovely woman.

Seeing Barbara in casual stripes is a refreshing break from her signature wardrobe comprised of green shirts, black tank tops, and button-up oxfords.

Oracle really should break out her bat-boots more often.

Barbara Gordon a.k.a. Oracle! by Brian Stelfreeze

“I decided that since (at the time) she was involved again with Dick Grayson, a.k.a. Nightwing (whose costume Brian actually designed), it’d be neat if he drew Babs wearing Dick’s NW shirt. […] I like to imagine it as Dick in the background saying ‘Babs, have you seen my shirt…?’”

I really want to make an off-shoulder Nightwing sweater now.

Maybe the Boyfriend Wonder will lend me his Nightwing suit… ;)
