Batgirl Superhero Costume

There are some fantastic Halloween costume ideas that you can get just from looking at comic books. These are filled with lots of male and female superheroes, which led themselves perfectly to the creation of stunning costumes.  One perfect example that women could choose is a Batgirl costume. 

60's Style Batgirl Halloween Costume

The character of Batgirl appeared in DC comics.  There were several different versions before the most popular reincarnation appeared in 1966. Her alter ego in the comics is called Barbara Gordon and she is the daughter of the Police Commissioner in Gotham City.

This costume is similar in style and color to that of Batman and is available in all sizes so whether you are a woman or an older a teen you will be able to find the perfect size to fit.

The great thing about choosing a Batgirl costume is that you get everything that you need included in the price. The main part of this outfit consists of the black dress.  It is made from a shiny polyester fabric and features the yellow batgirl insignia on the front.  The bottom of the dress has been cut so that it resembles the wings of a bat and depending on who the costume is for, it will either fall just at the knee for young girls and toddlers or it will sit around the thigh area in the adult version.

To compliment the dress, there is also a black cape.  This is already attached to the back of the dress and falls to the same length as the skirt.

Just like her male counterpart, Batgirl also has a utility belt.  This is made from a bright yellow fabric and incorporates the bat insignia which co-ordinates with the bat logo that is on the front of the dress.

The additional accessories that are included with this outfit are the black gauntlets and the black boot tops.  The gauntlets are made to slip onto each arm.

They have some extra detail work that runs along the edging of each one. The boot tops are made from the same shiny material as the dress and have been designed to fit over your boots.

This can look particularly sexy as part of the adult costume especially if you team them with a pair of spiky high heel boots.

The final part of this costume is the eye mask.  Batgirl is a character that needs to ensure that she protects her identity so the mask is essential.

There are several different styles available but most of them have been designed to look like a bat, complete with pointy ears. 

The Batgirl costume is a wonderful option for any female who is trying to decide what fancy dress outfit to wear this Halloween.

This would also make a great choice if you are going as part of a double act with your partner who could dress as Batman.  You would certainly make a gothastic pair.
