My oh my, even without make up, Claire still looks gorgeous as hell!

[@petertownsend9148]

I love the costume. I don't care if a lot of people are going to dress up as it for Halloween, it's a cool costume and just because a lot of people wear the same costume doesn't make the costume worse.

[@petertownsend9148]

Yes. I watch every episode even if I'm not super familiar with the source material for the costume their doing. They're entertaining and every episode has really clever ideas on how to make costumes.

[@GiulianaMafra]

Does anyone know where to buy the shorts ??

[@Mackenzie.cosplay]

Honestly, I’m really impressed with how this came out! For under $100 (if you count the cost of the wig in there too it’s still under $100) this is pretty awesome, totally recognizable, and pretty accurate! I’ve got about $2,000 in my Harley cosplay so far and this video honestly made me rethink some of the choices I made to get where I am with mine 😂 sure mine is as accurate as I can get it so far, but some of the ideas here are honestly so incredibly smart and I might implement some of them in future cosplays!

ATTENTION!!! PLS READ THIS ITS IMPORTANT! if you wanna be harley quinn for halloween, or just dress up/cosplay DO IT! if you haven't read all the comics THATS FINE! if you haven't seen every episode of Batman the animated series THATS FINE TOO! if you only saw the suicide squad trailer and decided I was a cool character and pretended to like me, but you didn't even know who I am, THATS NOT FINE! but, you shouldn't be considered "basic" if you wanna cosplay as the newest version. so haters, just go judge yourself. so seriously, stop making people feel bad that they dressed up for halloween. thank you for reading. -HQ

[@beareggers]

$40? You said the wig was $32, the fishnets were $9, the shorts were $10 each, then you also bought boots, shoelaces and the shirt. That math doesn't add up.

[@petertownsend9148]

Go back and pay attention to what they said. They made it clear the outfit was about $40 and the wig is separate. The purposefully separated it because A) They chose to go with a professional wig instead of making their own (which they even mention you can do) and B) some people won't even need the wig and could just use hair spray to modify their own hair.

[@ToastyBoy17]

$20 for the shorts, $9 for the fishnets, $5 for the shirt, $7 for red spray paint, $12 boots, $2 laces, $1 for foam. That totals to $56, not quite the $40 they boasted. Not to mention the things she doesn't put a price on like the acrylic paint, the belt, gloves, markers, tape, etc. So Bear is right. The math doesn't add up.

[@ClaireMax]

I didn't count things like the foam, paint, and other supplies that I already owned (I mentioned in the video that this is the same paint I used for the sailor moon costume). I also counted the wig separately, as mentioned in the video.

[@eatshit2726]

pay attention to what they said

[@ghostorchidgirl5930]

Either way, that's pretty expensive....

You know CineFix, It will already be a plague of Harley this Halloween, you don't need to encourage that trend.

[@chewu]

They're preempting the bandwagon actually. Lots of people are going to be looking up how to either buy or make this costume so it's pretty much a guaranteed successful video.

[@gamercheeto6151]

Omg it looks exactly like Harley Quinn!

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

These videos make me cringe so much. Seriously ... invest in a friggin' sewing machine! A used ugly one from a flea market that is broken so that it can only sew straight seams would be _so_ much better for putting garments together than hot glue and duct tape.

[@al145]

Odds are they wear the costume one time, if at all outside the video, maybe it isn't worth the effort to sew unless they really need to.

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

Yeah, but the point of making videos like this is to set good examples. Also, sewing those shorts together would not take more effort than gluing and taping them - but would be more durable and more comfortable.

[@tigerfanfrv]

my thoughts exactly, and we know they have a sewing machine because she used it for a few minutes for the sailor moon costume. if you are so worried about your pants falling apart sew it!

[@al145]

Findecanor I've never used a sewing machine in my life, so I'll take your word for it. That is a good point, though.

[@petertownsend9148]

Are you new here or something? She has a fantastic sewing machine we've seen in other episodes. These guys purposely do the simplest way possible.
