The DCEU Gal Gadot warrior: a sculpted Worbla breastplate over a red corset base, layered leather tasset skirt, gold bracers, knee-high armored greaves, a forehead tiara, and the Lasso of Truth. This is an intermediate-advanced build combining thermoplastic armor shaping with leather work and metallic finishing. Covers 7 components, 12 materials with cost estimates, a 12-step plan across 5 phases, and a realistic 8-week, $180 to $450 budget.

Supergirl's classic look: the cobalt bodysuit, red cape, red boots, and the iconic S emblem. This is a costume where fabric quality drives the whole build. The bodysuit needs to hold its shape and be opaque under convention lighting. The cape needs proper weight and attachment or it'll slide off your shoulders and drag on the con floor. The S emblem is the detail that separates a sharp build from a home-made look. 5 components, 12 materials, 6-7 weeks, $140-320.

The Suicide Squad Harley Quinn: a customized red and blue satin bomber jacket, distressed "Daddy's Lil Monster" tee, sequined shorts, dip-dyed pigtail wig, smudged dual-tone eyeshadow, and an oversized foam mallet. This is a beginner-intermediate build. The jacket and wig are the two skill checks. Covers 7 components, 12 materials with cost estimates, a 10-step build plan across 5 phases, and a realistic 4-week, $90 to $280 budget.
