Poison Ivy Costume?

[Veneficus]

My friend wants to dress up as Poison Ivy for a convention but we want to modernize (no tights, etc.). This is difficult, can you guys help a fellow batfreak out?

Thanks.

i would go with a military theme, like she's a hardcore activist

I'm also trying to come up with a design for Poison Ivy! Since I will be doing Harley Quinn for Halloween, my sister is probably going to be Poison Ivy, and so I'm trying to figure out something in that way as well.
As soon as I have some sketches with some ideas down, I'll be sure to post them!

half modern, half traditional

Okay so this is what I've done in the last ten minutes while not sleeping (even though it's late). It's a bad sketch because of the sleep deprivation and lack of light... but enough with my excuses.

I found it difficult to keep the poison ivy theme without having leaves EVERYWHERE, but this was my best attempt for now. I also found it hard to change her costume without having her look like a... well, a hooker.
I think for my second attempt, I'll make it a little more grungy (baggy pants, green jacket not cropped, corset all black). If you haven't noticed, with all my costume ideas i'm trying to take things in a Nolan sort of direction. I want to alter the costumes to make them less hokey, darker, and more believable... but not change the idea behind them.
Feel free to throw out some feedback and new ideas!

Not bad, my gf has a better one, If I can find the pics from Halloween last year.

Okay so I drew out a few more, but none that I really like or would actually wear.

This one is an altered version of the one I posted last night:

These next two are actually sketches of dancers, whose outfits I made Poison Ivy themed... just to see how it would turn out...
This one I really like (but, again, would probably never wear anything like it):

And this one just seems a little plain:

Let me know what you think.

[jazzimm]

haha thaaaanks...
If you're talking about the last picture (and I certainly hope you are), it's the dress between her legs... that's just my laziness not drawing it properly, as usual.

I'd think of it with some nice corsetry and vegan leggings and boots. Something like fetish fashion but with a little street wear.
