I have a soft spot in my heart for superheroes.  I fell hard for them as a kid, and, well since I’ve never really grown up, I still think they totally rule!! There was just no way we were going to do this costume countdown without a superhero costume appearing.

This Sexy Robin Costume is one of my very favorites!! I’ve seen women try this one on in the store and thought it looked great. My friend, Katie, posted some pictures of her in a different Robin costume at party and she looked awesome. I just had to try this Sexy Robin costume on for myself.

I’m wearing size XS here and it fits me perfectly. It’s snug and cozy but not tight. This is really important since the dress doesn’t have a zipper or buttons. You just pull it on. It’s form-fitting and super comfy. Just don’t try squeezing into a size too small. If it doesn’t glide over your hips (or shoulders, depending how you put it on), then stop right there and move up a size.

This costume made me want to strike a classic superhero pose - looking confidently into the future.

I love the way the cape is small and attaches with a Velcro strap. I love the sleevelets, the way they add such a cool feel to the costume. The mask is fabric not plastic with a band that attaches behind your head with Velcro. And while it’s one of the best masks I’ve put on, it’s still a mask.

I don’t know how those other superheroes fight crime with their peripheral vision obscured in masks. I would opt for using some black face paint and creating my own mask that doesn’t mess with my vision.  I got this idea from Katie. She looks pretty great, doesn’t she? Even Batgirl is doing it too. All you superheroes out there can take this tip as a freebie from me. May it help you in your mission to save the world! It’s easier to defeat those bad guys when you can see them. Who knew!?
