I made this costume once for Indiana ComicCon 2014, but was unhappy with it, so seven months later, I completely remade the suit, finally finished the gloves, updated my collar, and styled the wig a bit better.

The original contained a lot of paneling and piping on various style lines. The new one is much simpler. Comfort and flexibility were key in my updated design, since the first was so unstretchy, it barely allowed me to crouch! But in the new one, I could easily do back bends, high kicks, or whatever else I might need to.

For my new look, I went for simplicity in the suit in order to really focus on the fit to the body. But to break up the simplicity, I sprinkled it with subtle touches of bling! Hey, a cat burglar who likes shiny things surely might spend a dime or two on herself, right? ;D So the zipper has rhinestone teeth and a big blingy rhinestone pull ring! The collar also has spaced Swarovski "studs" and a big, tacky cat collar tag. I love it a lot, it really adds a lot of character to an otherwise boring suit!

Likewise, I am going with white claws because they pop against the suit in photos and look fiercer in general. Black claws looked too "witch hands" to me, and just were really hard to notice in photos when I looked at other costumes. I really like how mine stand out- they look much more intimidating and add a lot of visual interest. Plus they're fun to poke people with ;D
