Context

As a 90s kid, I grew up a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series and Harley Quinn was always one of my favorite characters. 2022 marked Harley Quinn's 30th birthday of her inception as a character for the show, so what better way to celebrate than to dress up as her for New York Comic Con?

The Process

This cosplay was pretty straightforward as the only technique was sewing and the only materials were fabrics. Instead of boring you with details, here's a little montage of some of the work that went into it.

I unfortunately didn't get to sewing on her diamonds, but even her greatest fans at the con didn't notice!
