Costume Challenge: Provacative Yet Practical
Can't go wrong with the simple, stylish snug catsuit.
It can be accessorized with, say, the bolero for evening wear, or a trenchcoat for badassery.

Not sure how helpful these ideas would be to you, but here are the three I have for Daphnie Dreamer so far...
Her default Widow costume
Her Level 10 Swimwear costume (This will become her level 40)
Her Halloween Salvage bonus costume. (She spends as much time operating in this one as she does her Widow costume)
I don't have a screenshot immediately handy, but my Widow's first alternate costume is a (fairly close, though I say, who shouldn't) recreation of the Knives of Artemis uniform. Being similarly snugly-fitting yet obviously practical, and even geared toward similar powers to Widows', it was an easy connection to make.
Thanks, all, for your thoughts and suggestions so far. Zerikan and Frederick are closest to what I'm aiming for, but I'm getting ideas from all of this.
I personally like the Stealth Suit in Tights
The Resistance has boobs too, and better hair!

This is my personal favorite.
You can mime it with the Enforcer Top/Bikini Bottom as well, if you don't have the assorted Vanguard pieces yet (or any of the other glitz/flash). Boots are up to you, but thigh-highs work excellent on taking up excess skin space. The additional chest bit is also optional.
I've used variations on that as a sort of pseudo-uniform for my personal VG and all of the characters in it, but Karen's is the only one I've a screenshot of. It's all about matching for taste, after all!
So, I've got a Night Widow character. And I absolutely love her. She's a blast to play, I've got a fairly simple character concept that writes itself, no problems anywhere. Except the costume.
I tend to play Soldiers by the book. Their 'official' costume is as close to the NPC's as I can make it, as are their proportions. But non-official costumes in general, and this one in particular, tend to leave me stumped. Basically, what Im looking for is something rather sensual, but something that looks like it was designed for Widow combat. That is, something protective, but also very lightweight for freedom of movement.
Im completely stumped as to what I should be trying, and so, Im submitting my conundrum to all you forumites out there, cause Im sure plenty of you know costumes better than I do.
So, uh, thanks in advance, and show me your magic.
