Absolutely awesome Greg! 

I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions since I'm curious.  What materials did you use, and were the dimensions for the costume based on the original or your knowledge of the original?  Thanks in advance. :)

hi guys, thanks so much!

hey Johnny

the costume is made of stretch vinyl, vinyl, rubber, latex, embroidery thread, corset boning etc. all the usual stuff!!

i have been studying the costume for years, and since i have only seen pics of the originals, I really drafted all the patterns by hand.

Wowsers! Beautiful work on a real person. I saw this over at BOTB. Great job!
I am actually looking to make my gf the same costume for this year's Halloween. (yes I recently got a gf, yay  ;D ). And she's really excited about what I plan to put together.

I already rounded up all the parts except the mask and the corset.  I imagine, I will have to make that on my own. If I had a month of free time, I know I could do it right. But work has forced me to try and find some premade parts to put together.


Was that mask difficult to make? Is it sculpted and cast off a mold or actual vinyl material stitched together?

I would love more information on it and the corset. :)
If you ever have time, do let me know. This is pretty much the best Cat outfit I've seen. The model wears it very well too.  :)
