Why Mary Jane?
Spider-man is undoubtedly my favorite Marvel franchise, and while I particularly have a soft spot for Felicia Hardy and have cosplayed her as Black Cat, Mary Jane Watson is a pretty fun character to cosplay too! With her many iterations, it's difficult to pin down one iconic look for her, but I would say that the ripped jeans and white Spider-heart crop top is one of the most recognizable images of MJ that we see today!
I did this cosplay shortly after moving across the country as a fun little project to ease myself back into crafting. It's so hard to want to tackle a large project right after your entire craftspace and home have been completely uprooted and rearranged! I'm still trying to find some of my Cricut cutting blades, hahaha.

About This Costume
With my new Cricut Maker, I was able to create the Spider-heart logo onto a white tee using heat transfer vinyl. I layered the black background first, and then the red on top. The result was an "almost screenprinted" look to it, that I could not have accomplished with fabric applique, which is what I had done for most of my graphic logos for cosplays in the past, such as on Supergirl and Elastigirl.
The shirt was purchased for $3 from a TJ Maxx, and the denim shorts and alternate full-length pants were purchased from Amazon. I also got my thigh high socks from Amazon as well!
The wig I have had for some time- it's the same wig I use for Jessica Rabbit. I may play with some different shades of orange and styles in the future though, to see which look I like best for MJ!
