Superhero Halloween: Batman

Inspiration:

Tate is so excited for his Halloween costume!  I started with Batman's t-shirt. He didn't have any plain grey t-shirts in his drawer and I didn't find any at garage sales or the thrift stores. He did have a long underwear t-shirt, but I wasn't sure how transferring the Batman insignia on the waffle material would work. Luckily, my mom found a men's XL long-sleeved t-shirt for $1, so I made it from that.
Before:

I used one of his size 5T long-sleeved t-shirts as my pattern. I used iron-on transfer paper to put the Batman symbol. The symbol came from a free font I downloaded.

After take one:

 The shirt is a little big. The tights/ leggings/ pants are the waffle-style long underwear with a real pair of underwear on top. It looks okay in the picture, but I didn't like the look of the real thing.

So with the remaining t-shirt, I made a pair. I had some navy knit material leftover from a yoga skirt I made and I used that for the top part of the leggings. I used FOE (fold over elastic) for the waistband; although, Tate told me it didn't need any elastic because his utility belt would hold his pants up!

I'm so disappointed! Batman's costume already cost more than double what Robin's did and it isn't even half finished! (Robin part 1 and 2) The total cost of Batman's shirt and leggings was $1, which is still pretty cheap. That brings the total so far to $1.46 spent on our Halloween costumes, so I can't really complain too much!
