How to Make a Catwoman Outfit for a Barbie
To make a Catwoman outfit for a Barbie, consult images to decide what features you want to include, then either collect the pieces to assemble the costume or choose a sewing pattern to modify. A black mask with eye holes and cat ears, a long tail, a cape, tall boots, a bodysuit, a whip and a belt are details to consider including in your Catwoman costume.
