Justice League DC Comics Wonder Woman Child Costume

Costume includes: Gold headband with Red Star, Red cape, Red, White & Blue leotard, Gold belt & lasso, Silver bracelets and Red & White boot tops. This is the officially licensed costume.
Customer Review: worked well
my daughter loved being wonder woman and the costume was still in good shape after halloween.
Customer Review: So happy with this costume. Small is AGE 3-4 (not 4-6)
This is a great costume. Especially for a preschooler! The sizing is confusing though. Small 4-6 means size 4-6 not age 4-6. On the costume package it says size 4-6 for AGE 3-4. The same would logically apply to the larger sizes, so be careful to order the right size. I knew this before hand and the small fits my 4 year old ( a small 4 year old) great! The belt is velcro, one size, way too big but that is no problem. I just tie it like a sash in the back, a safety pin would be another option. The bracelets and the tiara are great and they stay put. The tiara wraps around with elastic on the back so works like a charm. There is a little place for the lasso (it comes with a lightweight golden lasso) which also helps to keep the belt in place. And the robe is great. It's actually nice and long. It is really much cuter than it looks in the picture. Seems comfortable enough for everyday play. Very cool. We are very happy with this.


It was actually way back in the times of Ancient Egypt, around 3200 B.C., when the first model ships were being built. The purpose at that time was to simply build and check design. During this time was when sails were in their earliest form. It wasn't for another 500 years that new designs began sprouting up in other parts of the world, such as Greece and Scandinavia.

Model ships containing sails, stern rudders, and masts became more and more developed over time, leading into the production of massive Viking ships and Clipper ships setting out to sea during the period of 1300 A.D. to 1450 A.D. Without the blueprint, if you will, of the smaller model ships, larger ships may have had a lot of trial and error turn up with disastrous results. At the time, these ships were all still being built out of wood that would hopefully hold up to the beatings of ocean waves and the salt water itself. It wasn't until around the 1800's that steel replaced wood as a main component in ship building.

Thanks to the amazing minds of early these early inventors, boats could be tested in tanks before ever setting out onto possibly stormy seas. Builders could watch and see how the design of their hulls and sails would hold up to crashing waves and high winds that they themselves created. This way, there was a greater chance of the success of their full scale models. They had opportunity to see their craft at work without placing anyone in harms way. They could see the development of rudders to paddle boats to boats powered by the great force of steam; undoubtedly watching history unfold right before their eyes.

Today, boat builders rely on a combination of computer programs as well as small scale models to construct their full size sailing ships and ocean liners. With modern technology, the craft of model boat building may not be as much of a necessity as it once was, but it certainly is still an art! And one that is amazingly popular. Museums erect exhibits for boat lovers of all ages to come and view the spectacle that is model boats in their greatest form. Fathers and sons spend Sunday afternoons locked away in the garage seeing what they can produce with a model boat kit purchased at the local hobby store.

Although they played an integral part throughout history, model boats are certainly not a thing of the past!
