Batman Inc.: Stephanie Brown I

I wish you all a HAPPY - belated - NEW YEAR 2012!
I hope you were all able to enjoy your holidays and had a lot of fun on New Year's Eve. Are you still living accordingly to your New Year's Resolutions? I have to admit that I didn't make any for thist year... ;D

In my latest poll I asked you pictures of which costume you would like to see next. The poll was closed on January 12th, 09:00 pm.
As you can see the majority of participants voted for Stephanie Brown's St. Hadrian's school uniform as seen in the latest issue of Batman Inc. - Leviathan Strikes.

At this point I have to concede that it took me a while until I really started to like the recent chapter of Batman Inc., Stephanie's school uniform was love at first sight though.
Making the outfit was easy and took me 1 1/2 days at the maximum. The blouse, the slipover, the shoes and the overknee socks were parts I already had in stock - the tie and the skirt were the only parts I had to sew.
For the grey skirt I unstitched the first pleated skirt I ever made. It looked horrible, because I had absolutely no clue how to make a proper pleated skirt back in 2006.
I'm happy how the skirt for this outfit turned out... It's comfortable to wear and flatters the shape of my body, I think. About the tie isn't much to say, I guess. I like making and wearing them.

It's a real pity you cannot see more of the location in this picture. We took the pictures near the ruin of the so-called St. Barbara church in Karlsberg/Langensteinbach, Germany.
I hope I will find the possibility to go there again - to take pictures of another costume or something.

P.S.: I created myself an account on WorldCosplay.net - just like everybody else. Feel free to add me if you like to!
