I'm slowly posting up the various favorites I have for the costumes I've done, and this definitely ranks up there. With the wig I wanted to try and go for something a bit more modern while still having the huge amount of volume that Rogue's hair has had in the past-- so for that reason, the wig's actually two wigs, layered together with the bulk of the white wig bundled up under a secondary wig cap and the second hand sewn down. It makes for the volume, easier cleaning and maintance.

The spandex suit itself was easy to make-- matte spandex, piping, and all the materials were something around 30 dollars. The Jacket I patterned off based off of an earlier pattern (tailored in for fit, drafted a new collar, and rose the hem to be a bolero as opposed to a blazer) patches are simply scrap pieces of fabric with heat-n-bond.

Rogue has always been one of my absolute favorites in the comics and was a costume I waited to do until I felt I could really achieve everything to the level I wanted. The jacket, by far, is my favorite part.
 
A great representation of the classic look.
Awesome idea to have the dual wigs. You're right - it gives great volume without looking too retro 80s.
 
Im impressed with the fit of the suit. Spandex is not a fun material to work with so to get the curves into the different pannels was not easy in my book. Kudos on a great rouge. Im gonna be doing a classic beast this coming year. So its great to see some good X-Men out there!
 
Amazing work! I am also impressed with your spandex work, I hate working with stretchy materials and try to avoid it as much as possible. You've shown how nice it can look if done correctly.
 
Awesome. Perfect! Rogue has been a favorite of mine since I watched to original X-Men cartoon as a kid. Love the costume!
 
Great job Amaya! I met you at Dragon Con's Cosmic shoot and your Mantis looked great too!
