While I thought the DC Direct 13" Supergirl was nice enough, the costume choice wasn't a particular favorite of mine. Growing up in the 1970's as I did, I'll always view the "hot pants" costume of that era as the definitive one (more so since that was the version Mego produced). I'd intended to customize that version since I started doing these DCD figures, and I finally took the time to do so.
The base figure is the standard DCD release with the boots and a modified cape and belt. I made the costume by hand, and I dyed the blue fabric to get the shade I wanted. I drew the logo by hand on some fabric patch and then painted it with acrylic paint. I will probably attempt to make a pair of slippers to more closely approximate the Mego costume, but for now the boots will do:

As always, thanks for looking!
