Jennifer's Custom-Made HARLEY QUINN Costume Dress & POISON IVY Outfit

Long time readers of the Bat-Blog know all about our good friend Jennifer & her crazy art-craft projects, ha ha! She always make incredible stuff so when I recently got an e-mail from her I knew it would be something awesome...and it was! It looks like she has been kinda busy lately! Recently she designed these 2 new Batman-themed outfits for Halloween. One is a Harley Quinn Party Dress that is totally amazing & could also be a good costume. The 2nd one is a Poison Ivy costume. She explains everything better than I do so here's what she wrote:
"The first is a dress inspired by Harley Quinn. Clearly it's not meant to be an exact replica of her costume, but more like something she might wear to a party. :) The whole costume is velvet and has several little 'clown' style accents to it. I also made the little matching hat and gloves and found a great necklace to finish the look. :D The second costume is Poison Ivy. I used a vintage sequin dress and totally rebuilt it to be more like Ivy's tunic. I hand painted a ton of Ivy leaves with green glitter and sewed them to the edges of the dress. I also made the ivy eye mask, and hand dyed gloves to finish the look."
WOW! Jennifer, you totally outdid yourself this time! Both items are really wonderful, seriously. I especially like the Harley Quinn Dress because it's so unique & original. But the Poison Ivy Costume is great too!! I like how the leaves are sort of realistic-looking, a nice touch. Thanks for keeping us updated & sending the great photos. Readers, you might check out ETSY sometime because she sells stuff like this there. Also, If there are any other Bat-Blog Readers who do creative things then please let us know. It can be painting, drawing, costumes, tattoo art, whatever!
