Cat in the Hat... so to speak

One of my latest projects has been for Halloween- by far my favorite holiday... ever.

This year (and for potential cons of the future), I decided to go as Catwoman. Not just any Catwoman, though... specifically the Catwoman from the Hush Batman series (you know, the one drawn by Jim Lee...) It's got a lot of my favorite things: goggles, bullwhip, catsuit, boots, gloves, and a fantastic hat.

Well, I didn't want to do the main body of the work (that's to say the catsuit...) and a couple of lovely ladies from work (who have their own Etsy store- Dubard... check it out) did that for me.

They also crafted a hat for me... I decided that it wasn't quite accurate enough. As such, I took out all of the seams, got some extra material, and plan on adding a middle panel (I believe that this will allow it to lie flatter on my head and that it will be more comfortable in general.) In addition, I will be adding a larger band around the bottom of the hat (to encircle my neck). I will hand sew the ears onto the hat... probably making them have dimension by forming them around wire.

Hopefully this will turn out the way I want it. The fabric is fairly specific and I don't relish the idea of having a mismatched outfit.
