How did Wonder Woman's original costume change during her first 40 years of comics?

During her first 40 years of publication, Wonder Woman’s costume remained largely consistent, though it underwent one notable early adjustment.

Initially, the character wore a red bodice featuring a gold eagle, a blue skirt adorned with white stars, a gold belt and tiara, red boots with a white center stripe and upper edge, and bracelets on each wrist. The blue skirt was very quickly replaced by blue shorts featuring white stars.1

This classic ensemble remained her primary look for decades, with a significant exception occurring in 1968. In Wonder Woman no. 178, Diana Prince was stripped of her powers and her iconic costume, adopting the persona of an undercover adventure heroine instead. However, following her appearance on the cover of Ms. magazine in 1972, the character regained her traditional powers and costume, which subsequently became the definitive version featured in the Super Friends animated series and the 1975 live-action television show starring Lynda Carter.2
