Fully Dressed Redesigns of Superheroines.

Justin_TheBuck

A less than horny take on the ladies of comicdom. Some nice designs that I would actually like to see.

Wow. I actually like each of these quite a bit. A couple small tweaks and I would totally love em.

Well, I don't mind them now...but it would have been devastating to 12 year old me.

Same here. Most of these designs make good sense and I like them better than what's being used -- with the exceptions of Power Girl, Black Canary and Zatanna, whose original outfits are just too iconic to replace. And I like the fishnets on the latter two.

Agreed! That Elektra costume is perfect!

Elektra looks awesome if a tad Mortal Kombat looking but I think that's why I like it. For the most part, I like most of these costumes from the waist up. I think something different should have been done with some of the pants with these heroes. Especially the Wonder Woman. I love everything except for the tan pants she's wearing. It just seems like the artist threw a pair of tan leggings with the rest of the costume and it feels out of place with the top and the boots. Also, I think I would have made them gold like the Wonder Woman emblem to keep the overall Wonder Woman costume colors. I do really like the Black Canary costume and Zatanna looks really cool.

Meh. There's something to be said for tight, formfitting costumes. Dollar Bill teaches us that this is so.

I'm assuming that the bottom middle is what everyone is calling Zatanna? I'm pretty sure, based on the broach that that's supposed to be Vampirella.

Yeah. It has a mystical look to it.

The one you're pointing out is definitely Vampirella, but this link to the original post leads off with Zatanna. While I like the original fishnets for Z, this redesign looks a little more useful for adventuring, or at least mystical investigation, which now that I type that is totally a direction I'd love to see them take her in.

Some of the designs work better than others (Supergirl is my favorite), but it's a good idea well-executed pretty much all around.

Moreover, whether we like a specific design or not, these outfits prove that it is possible to design an attractive costume for superheroines that aren't necessarily sexist and ridiculously non-functional.

Agreed!

I really like the Power Girl concept.

Fan of pretty much all of them (in particular Black Canary, Elektra, and Psylocke) with the exception of Wonder Woman. Mainly because those look like guy-trousers and the brown just doesn't go with the rest of the costume. Black leggings would have worked better.

And be more slimming, too.

That's the one that works the least for me, too, and it's entirely because it looks like she's wearing Dockers. :D
