Arrowette - 5

Arrowette from DC's Young Justice (Comic)
costume made by me from matte miliskin
mask cast from plastic (like, FOR SALE signs, haha) by Roy and covered by me in miliskin
the quiver is constructed from an art carrying tube with the strap removed, covered in craft foam and stretch vinyl
prop arrow tip is made in craft foam
belt is craft foam and wire, covered in metallic spandex

Note: The bow is a recurve bow. When I debuted the costume, the convention was very strict with weapon props, so I opted to remove the string so I can carry the bow. Being a recurve bow, it bends all crazy when the string is of (like a big "3"), so when I held it properly, the tips bent in the opposite direction than it should have, had I actually been pulling a string back. So, I made the choice to hold the bow backward. I am aware that I am, and I had to make a creative choice for photos. Next time I wear this costume, I am saying to heck with the rules (other archer cosplayers had real strung bows and did not get in trouble, wth?) and using the string.
