Within the Marvel comic books, Valkyrie was an Asgardian female warrior who was selected by Odin to lead his personal unit of shield-maidens, the Valkyrior. She is often seen in the Thor comic books and is basically a kick-butt, fierce, sword-wielding lady! Well, the Marvel Cinematic Universe brought the character to the silver screen in the movie Thor: Ragnarok. Renowned for her prowess in battle, Valkyrie is often accompanied by her winged horse Aragorn and wears the silver battle suit.

Cloak: It’s royal blue and made of cotton. A symbol of Valkyrior is stitched at the cloak back, using the material of silver leather.
Top: It’s designed to a shirt and use cotton and knitted materials, making it comfortable to wear. Gathering with different parts, it shows exquisite design and high sewing technique. Even the patterns on the fabric follow the suit in the film. Notice that it’s easy to put on with the zipper at the back.
Vest: There’s a cross on the chest and made of cotton, decorated with some golden leather pieces, just like armors. Six golden leather pieces form shoulder guards, with accurate and sequential layering. The bottom of the vest has lack leather border and with the help of hook&loop, it’s convenient to dress. The vest is not just only used as the armor, but also a place to fix the cloak on.
Pants: The pants use the same material as the top’s. It’s amazing that even at such an unnoticed place, the design of different parts gathering is accurately the same as it showed in the film. Double pieces of golden leathers are stitched on a band and form a kneel guard, then make two of the kneel guards to be sewed on the pants.
Collar: It’s a removable high collar, and it’s a little short that just wraps a half-circle around the neck. With a piece of leather, the high collar can be fixed beneath the vest.
Wristbands: Mostly made of cotton and golden leather, the same materials of the vest. The golden leather is on the position of the forearm and several little bands around the wrist to make sure the wristbands won’t drop. The cotton belts go through the golden leathers and up to the upper arm and make crosses around the arm.
Apron: Different from other parts, the apron use satin material, but the color of it matches with the vest and has the same black border design. There’s a bag behind which I think can not just be a decoration of costumes but also a practicing design. Two golden leathers are decorated on both outsides of legs where surrounded by elastics on the bottom of the apron in order to fix the apron. A piece of satin is stitched on the front, finalizing the apron and fixed with the vest by two buttons.
Gloves: Actually the gloves have no fingers, and just cover the palm and the wrist. The gloves are also made of satin and have long belts that can around the forearm.
