Supergirl was created in 1959 by DC Comics as the female equivalent to Superman, as you can tell to her similar yet gender-specific Supergirl costume. Early versions of the character are played by several women, but later the plot evolves as it is reveal that Kara Zor-El (cousin of Superman) is the heroic girl from Krypton sent to Earth to look after a baby Superman. However, because she is suspended in time due to a rocket explosion, she arrives after he has already grown up — while she still remains a teenager.
As one of the most powerful female superheroes around, Supergirl is known by her iconic Supergirl costume and extraordinary strength, speed and stamina. Supergirl also has various extra sensory powers, super breath that blasts wind and ice, and the ability to fly. As depicted today, Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) is also a skilled martial artist who has been trained by the female Amazon tribe. Now you can aspire to all these “super” abilities by suiting up in a Supergirl costume.
A Supergirl costume is available in sizes to fit toddlers, children, teens and adults; there is literally a Supergirl costume for every fierce female in the family. Typically a Supergirl costume features a long-sleeved blue shirt emblazoned with the iconic “S” Supergirl costume crest. An attached red full skirt, in a mini to knee-length depending on the specific Supergirl costume, gives off a girlish charm. Also, attached to the skirt of a Supergirl costume is a flattering golden waistband or yellow Supergirl costume utility belt. Additionally, a flowing red cape and fierce red boot tops will give a Supergirl costume an impressive image as she flies off into the sky to fight crime. A Supergirl costume for teens and a Supergirl costume ladies can be styled traditionally or with a sexier look that features a midriff-revealing top, shorter skirt and metallic red fabric.
Another modern Supergirl costume can be created based on the television show “Smallville”. Here “Kara”, who has recently been transported to Earth, learns to adjust to life as a not-so-typical American teenager. Everyone knows how important clothing is to the typical girl, and this Supergirl costume is no exception. Her Supergirl costume varies and mainly is comprised of typical high school clothing – jeans, t-shirts, mini skirts and such.
This heroine of comic books, animation film and television makes a popular choice for girls birthday parties. Complement her birthday Supergirl costume with special party favors and paper goods meant especially for a “super” celebration. For a fun touch, have a girlfriend come to the party decked out in a Supergirl costume to serve cake, sign autographs and pose for pictures.
A Supergirl costume is perfect for a Halloween party, cosplay or trip to the comic convention. If you are heading out with a male friend, have him dress up as your cousin Superman (Kal-El) in his well known crime-fighting suit to complement your Supergirl costume. Between the two of you, no criminal will feel safe – just avoid Kryptonite.
