How-To Costume: Raven from DC Comics (5 different costumes!)

The program I normally use has broken somehow (Which makes sense, since my computer likes to flimmer red and cyan colours on the screen and is pretty much help together by duct -tape) so all the pictures were made in Paint, but I hope they're alright anyway ;)

Let's start off with a picture of my doll in her costume, side by side with 2 versions of Raven :)

Top Raven: A comic version
Bottom Raven: From the TV'show Teen Titans

Besides the fact that I has to use a different nuance of purple (I wanted the cape to match), I think it went quite well :)

The items I used:

So most of the items I used to make my costume are no longer available to get (some are in the Bazar though but hard to find)..
I used some black items to make the back-side of the cape, any black items can be used, I reccomend wide skirts and dresses or bags. I also used a purple item to make the collar, what type of item it is doesn't matter, as long as it matches in colour :)

Ladydiver's Make-Up

The red stone in Ravens forehead is an essential part of her look and can easily be made using some small red jewlery-items, I used roses.
Raven's make-up is very plain with some dark eyes. I've gived her some long lashes because that is what I prefer :)
Ravens hair in Teen Titans is shoulderlength, but it is also often longer tha that, so there are many hairstyles to choose from.


SO I've put together FOUR (4) different costumes all available in the StarPlaza
I've done 2 using both Stardollars and Starcoins and 2 only using Starcoins.
There's a purple version and a black version of each, since Raven's clothes at times is black instead of purple.

Stardollars AND Starcoins

Starcoins only

I've chosen the items which I think were best, but there are plenty more to choose from in th eStarPlaza, there are for example a LOT or long black boots, so there are many more ways to make the costumes :)
Mix and match the items to find your very own combination which you like.

Got any quesitons?
Got any costume-suggestions?
Want to model a How-To Costume (the bazar part)?

Let me know! I can be contacted on Stardoll or in the comments of this post
