I'm coming up with new ideas far faster than I can make them. A while back, my husband suggested doing an 18th century take on Wonder Woman which, of course, made me start thinking about how I would do 18th century versions of other comic book superheroes too. The main superheroes I keep up with are Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and Batgirl so I started thinking about how I would translate their iconic outfits into and 18th century style.
Wonder Woman: Red redingcote with blue petticoat with silver and gold trim
Supergirl: Blue sacque with "S" design on stomacher and red petticoat with gold trim
Batgirl: Purple brunswick/pet en l'air with yellow lining and yellow and gold trim with stylized bat icon on stomacher/waistcoat.
If I use the same shades of red and blue for Wonder Woman and Supergirl, they could even mix and match the pieces, though the outfits would no longer be representative of specific characters at that point.
I've also had an idea for a not so heroic comic book character:
Harley Quinn: red and black zone front gown with dagged edge trim
I really love the idea of making one (or all) of these outfits to wear at comic-con type events. At this point I just want to combine all of my interests with 18th century fashion! If only I could make things as quickly as I can come up with new ideas!
