Wonder Woman Micro Wardrobe

For our vacation last month, I had planned to have an all Wonder Woman inspired wardrobe. I had originally planned on something that similar to Disney bounding but it didn't turn out that way. (If you haven't heard of bounding and don't know what it is you can read about it here.) Part of the reason for the change was a lucky find of WW shirts on clearance sale and the rest was basically a lack of time to sew. Here's a bit about what I ended up with.

First of all, I have WAY more Wonder Woman t-shirts than anyone needs, but I don't care. I think the total is at 11 now? I only took some of these on our trip but they round out the entire summer wardrobe.

 

On a sad note, the Ice Cream shirt in this picture was an online purchase and I actually got a size too small to fit comfortably. I mean I technically CAN wear it but I'm not going too. However, pictures from this trip highlight how much Bear and I really need to lose some weight and get in better shape so hopefully, I can change that soon. Being able to finally wear such an awesome shirt can be motivation for my fitness struggles.

Then I also had a few plain colored shirts to mix in as well.

For my bottom half, I actually did get some sewing done! First, this awesome, super comfy, shirred skirt with pockets.

Also, I have a dressier skirt that I'd made previously, using that same fabric and red with silver stars on top.

I finished sewing the shorts from the Bombshell Wonder Woman pattern right before we left for our trip. Technically, I need to finish them by stitching down the facings but they are done enough. I also had some plain shorts and a pair of jean (just in case) to round things out.



I have a few matching sandals but mostly just wore the blue sneakers since we did lots of walking during our vacation.



Finally, I even had Wonder accessories and pajamas.

The hair clips I received in an awesome gift exchange in a Facebook group I belong to. The headband, I grabbed spur of the moment near the checkout line in the grocery store. The small shrink plastic emblem, and metal charms I used on a pair of changeable clip earring. I haven't done anything with the locket yet but I'm sure I'll come up with something.

The only thing that I really feel is missing is some sort of sundress for fancy dress up occasions but since we didn't have anything we needed to dress up for during vacation it got left off. If I come up with a good idea for one I will probably still make it to complete the wardrobe. I might also make a few more subtle shirts for more of a bounding look but I have other projects I have to get to first.

I also made a new messenger bag to carry my stuff but it's not Wonder Woman themed. If you look closely at the pictures you can see that I have a few spots where I near to fix it. I didn't get all the edges far enough under the bias tape edging.
