Miss Captain America

My Miss Captain America Costume

Before I start this blog post, I wanted to say that this is my favourite costume and favourite set of photos that I have ever done here on Raindrops of Sapphire. Not only is Captain America my favourite comic book character as you all know, but turning myself and these photos into a real life comic book was like a dream come true for me too. It’s taken hours to edit and do this entire shoot from start to finish, but I have to say that I’m incredibly proud of these photos and I haven’t had as much fun on a shoot as this!

I originally made a blog post earlier this month with Halloween costume ideas and wanted you all to guess which one I would be choosing. Most of you got it right as I had chosen to be Miss America! I got this costume from Escapade and I think it’s fantastic. It fits really well actually and is quite comfortable, but it doesn’t come with the boots, so I had some help getting hold of these thigh high pvc red ones from a friend and I think they suit the costume perfectly. Halloween is one of my favourite days of the year, not because of the holiday as I don’t celebrate it, but because it means I get to dress up in costume and I love any excuse for that! Anyway, I really hope that I’ve done Captain America justice and you all love it too!

And for those of you who just want to see the outfit and aren’t into the full comic book experience, I’ve also included the original photos without editing as well for you, plus a couple of extra ones. I hope you enjoy them! Happy Halloween! Lorna xx.

    All of these shots are wonderful and turning the images into cartoons certainly does add an extra dimension. 🙂 Nobody is going to mess with you, that’s for sure. 😀 Great stuff, beautifully done.

    First of all Lorna, this outfit is insane on you! Excellent choice! 🙂 Second, comics are always nice and to style photos like a comic book is awsome 🙂 hope that you can learn it more and make even better comic photos of you. Third, I think the original photos look better tho 😉 Fourth, it should be more photos! 🙁 Fifth, now I have to wait a hole year for next Halloween outfit :'(

    I think I love this post as much as you 🙂 don’t forget! 😉

      Hi David 🙂 Really nice to see you commenting again! Very happy you liked the post. I did think some people would prefer the non comic book images though which is why I have included them here 😀 I already have ideas for next year!

    Wow Lorna you look incredible! This is a brilliant idea for a costume, and I love the comic book treatment you gave the photos, as well as the original images, which are amazing in their own right. It’s really nice to see ambitious photo shoots like this, with an interesting concept behind them, and you’ve executed your vision perfectly!

    I hope you had a fab Halloween.

    Lots of love Saba xx

    Amazing costume!!! I love all the Avengers superheroes, so I’m a big fan of this post. I always wonder why girls/women don’t choose male superheroes when they wear cotumes. They always try to find a female superhero. So you did it, girl! You made my dream come true! I always wanted to be Captain America. You look stunning!! Have a nice day!

    Ah, this turned out fantastic! I love the costume and the photos. Yes I am a graphic designer so I know this type of work can take hours and some cases days. Amazing how many people think you click a couple of time and viola the job is done. You did a great job here.

    Hey Lorna, I absolutely love your creativity here, you look great as Miss Captain America and I am all about the cartoon version of this post. I am a huge fan of strong female comic characters…especially when they have great style. Can we talk about those red boots, sooooo sexy. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I just started a new SEO Keyword research campaign on my blog and testing out new tactics, so I’m very interested to know how you came across my blog. If you don’t mind, I will send you an email asking this questions. Have a good week ahead. ( :

    Thigh-high boots, skin-tight costume and stern expression – I’m totally defeated by Miss America! If you ever require some naughty male villains to beat up in one of these photo shoots then I’d love to sign up 😁

    Hope you have something equally stunning lined up for this Halloween!
