I need to paint another fantasy portrait of a niece, so for about a month I've been immersed in brainstorming character building and costuming and style sketches, which somehow (I can't quite remember how) led to me watching a couple of eps of the original Lynda Carter Wonder Woman this week.
This led to thinking about Wonder Woman's costume design at length and also, eventually, to some very rewarding googling about what female mixed martial artists wear. ( As you do. )
In summary: Wonder Woman actually SHOULD be invulnerable and then her outfit should be whatever the hell she wants, except NOT a corset or otherwise strapless unless she wants her divine breasts to escape it from time to time, which could get inconvenient. But if she ISN'T invulnerable, then her outfit should incorporate body armor.
