EDIT: Because I've gotten so many questions about how I made this, I'll give a short description of what I did to make this... I can't be of much help since most of it was done without a pattern.
The tights were made with a simple tights pattern, and for the gloves I traced my hands and left a little seam allowance and sewed them together. It's spandex so it stretches, but I made them a wee small so it's a tight fit.
The dress part was draped on a dress form and tailored down to fit me. So I can't be of much help on that. The details are heat and bonded on.
The cape is basically a big triangle, that is folded in half and at the top of the triangle is the neck whole where I added a collar that stays pinned together.
The belt is just a long piece of foam with yellow spandex wrapped around it and a circle foam piece with spandex covering it glued on top.
The mask is just craft foam and elastic, with a piece of thing white fabric glued over the eye wholes

Whelp, it's pretty much done. Gotta fix the belt, it sticks out way to much.
Plus the color looks decent without flash, but with flash it's almost blinding. >.< Rawr... ah well.

but anyway... yeah... might still make the top a bit skinnier... but I'd rather finish up my Afest costumes
Robin is a DC character.

Gotta love Steph Brown! Best character in comics! Well, when she's IN comics...

She made a great Robin and a great Batgirl. It's a shame that she's now banned from being either.

Great job on the costume. I particularly like the mask!

There's always Spoiler too! :D (I liked her as Spoiler a lot, more then Robin, actually. xD )
But yes! I hope we see her again soon! (Then again I haven't caught up with this past months comics. >.> I should probably get caught up and start on the 7th issues of everything. -flails- )

Thanks though!

Best part is actually being able to see out of it. Unfortunately my eyelashes are too long so it's bothersome to wear too long. Thanks though!

This is a great costume! Excellent work on everything, and it's very cool to see a Robin version of Stephanie. I didn't read any of her stories as Spoiler, and caught up on her Robin tour after she became Batgirl, a book I loved, and I wish she'd gotten a chance to be Robin longer. It's great that you decided to pay homage to a great character whose adventures I shared with my teenage niece, who loved her Batgirl book as well. Thanks!
