Finishing up Olivia’s Supergirl

DragonCon Countdown: 18 days!!

I have been searching for Red boots for Olivia for weeks and just couldn’t find the right ones. At Goodwill, most of the boots were rainboots which seemed uncomfortable for walking around. Online, I could purchase some boots, but most of them were $20 and I couldn’t see spending that on something she might not wear again.

Finally after much Googling, I found cosplayers making boots by taking shoes and adding stretchy fabric around it. Perfect! I bought these shoes just her size at Goodwill with a nice heel on them so I could wrap the elastic around it.

I used more of the leftover fabric from my swimsuit and her cape to make the leggings for the boots. I then sewed the foot part of the shoes to the leggings and added elastic that would run underneath the shoe to keep it attached but give some wiggle room for Olivia to move. I used spray adhesive on the toes to keep the fabric attached to the shoes, but have left the heels unattached so I can easily help Olivia get into the boots. 

I printed and ironed on the Supergirl emblem (I used iron-ons all the time for costumes). I also added some velcro on the back of the belt to keep it together after she puts it on.

And now we have a finished Supergirl outfit! Just need to keep her hair out of her face! Are you allowed to use hair spray on a 4 year old? Otherwise I need to find a cute hairbow to go with her outfit!
