Patterns Used:
None

Bikini:

I started out by buying a two piece swimsuit that had the shape I wanted at Target. I found this tiger stripe fur at the local fabric store, and covered both the top and the bottom in the fur (using the swimsuit pieces as a basic pattern for cutting the fabric). I glued it on in spots so it would still stretch, and hand-stitched it in a few important places.

Accessories:

I made the little neckband (velcros closed), and then I made the gauntlets and boot covers based on my old She-Ra ones. They also velcro close.

Wig:

I bought the wig on ebay, and made the horns out of sculpey, which I then wired into the wig. I had to remake them in 2006, because I lost the original ones.

History:

I’ve since sold this costume, but it was fun to wear 🙂
