Question

This is only for the classic Dick Grayson look, how do I create a costume for the other Robins?

Community Answer

If you know of the show "Teen Titans GO," there is an episode where all the Robins unite. Search for it on YouTube. In this episode there are about four different Robins, you can simply screenshot the video to get your reference picture.

Question

How do I make a strapless mask?

Community Answer

You might not be able to make a completely strapless mask, although I think some transparent elastic would appear practically invisible from a distance. Another method is making a duct tape mask formed to fit your face (make sure the duct tape is black). Do not coat the side that will attach to your face with duct tape. This way, the mask will stick to your face, I don't know for how long though, or if it will leave any marks after removal.

Question

How do I match Robin's hair?

Community Answer

You could use a wig, dye your hair, use hair chalk or spray color, or you could just not change your hair at all. Cosplay is about having fun, so get creative with it!

Question

How do I make the collar of Robin's cape?

Community Answer

With a sewing maching or a needle, you have to measure two or three centimeters (on the top, up to down) where the collar will go and sew. You have to measure your neck and cut the fabric that long from left to right for the collar.

Do I make mask straps?

You could, but any time I've cosplayed as Robin, I used Pros-Aide to stick it right on my face.

Question

Is it possible to make a red unitard with green sleeves and legs for a Robin costume?

Community Answer

Yes, that would work. You could sew a sleeveless red top and red briefs together (or purchase a sleeveless red unitard), then attach the sleeves and legs.

Question

Can a men’s bodysuit pattern work for making a Robin costume as well as some additional templates?

Erin Cameron

Community Answer

Yes, this is exactly how I made mine though I was using a women's bodysuit pattern. I used the Yaya pattern and there is a male version of that, if that helps.

Question

How do I make Robin's mask like the one Burt Ward wears on the 60s TV show?

BkEx

Community Answer

Find several pictures of that specific mask from a few different angles. If you wish to try to make it yourself, just try to hold a strip of black cloth around your head to measure it, then cut that strip in the right length so it fits snugly around your head with a couple extra inches for attachment. From there, you can attach the ends of the fabric together by either sewing or possibly hot gluing. Trim and cut out eyeholes according to how it fits your face, using the pictures you found earlier as a reference. Alternatively, if you look up a bandit costume mask, you will find that many types look extremely similar to Burt Ward's mask, and might be conveniently available at a costume shop.
