I went to
http://www.welovecolors.com/ and bought a woman's danceware - gold colored
long sleeve unitard (currently $56.00) and removed the right sleeve. I also bought a
orange tank leotard (currently $22.00) and put them together.
I then attached a large ThunderCats logo patch ($7) to the front.
I am not sure if this place still has them. BE SURE THAT IT IS AT LEAST 3" in diameter!
I carefully drew on the spots on a blonde wig with black permanent marker so the spots would not flake or run off. (About $20)
The paw's are $5 gloves with a $5 set of acrylic nails attached with super glue.
The white bangles were $2 each at "Clarie's".
Go to your local home improvement store and get a wooden "staff." (About $10)
I used waterproof liquid eye liner to put smudge/rain proof spots on my body. ($5)
I used the "lipstick" looking Maybelline Cover Stick Corrector Concealer in White for my face, and a tube of orange face paint painted on with a brush. ($4)
I made my original gauntlet out of orange Dixie cups and construction paper (middle image) But then made a new, and nicer gauntlet, out of craft felt.
I took one large sturdy piece of orange craft felt and cut it into shape. I then used ironed "no-sew adhesive to attach the Velcro closure and the red & yellow pieces. I then secured everything in place with a needle and thread.
To finish the costume off, you need a pair of orange knee high boots!!
5 Inch Heels for an SUPER Sexy Cheetara!!
3 inch heels for a sexy, yet practical Cheetara!
Or if you want a style that is "TRUE TO THE CARTOON" check out the following!
This pair is the PERFECT Cheetara Sytle, but you will need to have the lower part dyed Orange. Luckily Suede is VERY EASY to dye! If you are not comfortable dying them orange yourself, there are lots of shoe places that are willing to do the dirty work for you! :)
Again here is another cute "True Cheetara" boot, but again it is not offered in ORANGE. You would need to dye them.
Lastly I share the pair I wore with my cosumte!!! They are Orange Suede moccasins from Minnetonka!
While they still make this STYLE, it is no longer offered in ORANGE. Again you would have to buy the light tan leather boots and dye them orange to achive the look:
I hope this helps!!!
