Arkham City Harley Cosplay & Tips or Inside Harley's Closet

If you're cosplaying as Harley from Arkham City, you may want to adjust the shirt unless you want to show too much chest. The overshirt is fine as long as you wear some thing underneath it. A tanktop painted half red and half black works wonderfully (everyone wanted my picture). Not only parents approve of this, but so do other Harley cosplayers. Pants are an easy find, they're available online or you could pull a me and use leggings you already have. I used a white belt, better contrasting on the black and red. As for the boots, Color Duck Tape is your friend.Use black or red boots and use duck tape to cover the boot of the wrong color. I used duck tape of both colors to add height. For gloves and sleeves, I used the sleeve from the undershirt for the red one and a knitted sleeve for the black one. The gloves are just dollar rack ones from a place like Joann's or Fred Meyer with duct tape diamonds. Just cut off the fingertips.The necklace I chrocheted with sparkly black yarn and I used an old belt buckle. The braclets are the same sparkly black as the necklace with gray spikes I chrocheted and then attached them. Hair is easy, just do pigtails with one black and one red hairtie (you don't have to spray paint your hair if you don't want to).Finally, the corset. You probably want to use a sewing machine for this instead of hand stiching it like the rest ( you don't have to hand stitch it all, but I hand stitched every thing but the corset) because the corset has to pull tight. Use fabric paint for the horizontal bands and buckles, as well as the metallic studs.  The vertical lines should be done with a Sharpie or other marker.  Make-up is white make-up from a store like Spirit Halloween or Party City. Black eyeshadow can be found at Sally Beauty or just about any where around Halloween. The tattoos can be done with skin markers or washable markers.
