The costume Carol Forman wore in THE BLACK WIDOW which was reused on THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN had also been worn by Jean Wong in THE CHINESE RING ( 1947 ), a Charlie Chan movie in which she played a Chinese princess.
It would have been a fairly new costume at that time, as THE BLACK WIDOW had been made earlier the same year.
