I'm under the impression that the reason Warners put Erica Durance in that Wonder Woman costume (and no, I haven't seen the episode, hell I don't even know if it aired yet) is to test the waters.
I like it. It makes much more sense than a friggin' black skintight jumpsuit. This is what Wonder Woman's supposed to be: a Greek warrior princess.
Now, just give her the standard tiara with a STAR on it, and put either the WW or the eagle on the chest, and it'll work. The belt or whatever should also point up in the middle, but I can let it slide if it doesn't.
Haven't seen the footwear, but overall, not bad.
Finally, her hair should be curlier, and the actress should be a lot larger, but that's a whole 'nother Oprah. -

Technically, "Warrior Angel" is not Wonder Woman; although, the costume is certainly based on hers. Actually, the skirt of leather strips (pteriges) has been used on several Wonder Woman costume variants, including the full armored versions drawn by George Perez and others.

Well, obviously it's not her. I know that. But Warners is still probably fishing for a direction on her duds because they seem to think the traditional costume would be silly.
As for the "Wonder Woman's costume shouldn't be tampered with," well in a perfect world, it wouldn't; but if Warners decided to, I could live with that. -

And such "Silly" attitudes are part of the problem.
WW's powers are Supernatural in nature, and there is no point is showing off the Bullet Proof bracelets if she's wearing Armor.
