  • Question
    How should I do my hair?
    Community Answer
    Wonder Woman's hair is usually black and at or past her shoulders. It depends on what version you would like to do. In some versions it is thick and very curly. In other versions it lays straight. In most of the versions, she does not have bangs, unless you are doing the black suit version or the current DC animated movie universe. In the current DC animated movie universe her hair is up in a loose ponytail. It really is up to you whether you want to curl it, straighten, or just brush it. If you have short hair, at one point in the comics Wonder Woman had a pixie cut!

    Not heavy. She is known for her natural beauty, so go with more of a natural look.
  • Question
    Can I wear boots instead of socks?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You can buy white knee-high boots, put tape on them to make the design, and then spray paint them red. Afterward, peel off the tape to reveal the design. If you don't have white boots, spray paint your boots white before you do this.

    I don't have a blue skirt or shorts. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Use a shirt or a dress instead! If you're using a shirt, for example, you could sew the head hole closed and put your legs where the arms go. You could also check out a thrift store to find a cheap blue skirt.

    Does a woman need muscle tone to be Wonder Woman?

    Not at all. Not every guy that dresses up Batman or Superman is ripped, same applies for women.

    Can I wear pants instead of a skirt? Wonder Woman's skirt is really short, and I do not want to show off my legs.

    Yes! In some versions she wears blue or black pants. This occurs in the 1974 TV pilot starring Cathy Lee Crosby, the issue #600 redesign in 2010, and the post-52 redesign.

    Of course! Costuming is not always about being screen accurate; you should not hesitate to mix and match different elements of the costumes to get the result you'll be most satisfied.

    Didn't she have silver bracelets, a silver tiara, and a silver logo at one point?

    Community Answer
    Yes she did! In fact would probably be easier to use tinfoil for the adult version's logo, as long as you keep it from crinkling.

    Of course you can. Just make sure you know her dimensions first, otherwise it will look weird and be uncomfortable.
