You need to buy:
A unitard (white)
Fabric paint or Markers (Brown, black, red or maroon)
Yarn (for tail, warmers and possibly Wig)
Dance Shoes/Slippers (white, black or brown)
1) Start with the tail following all the steps provided here. The tail looks like this:
2) Next is the Wig. You can either make one using the information provided here, or you can order one from ebay or commision one from someone. The wig looks like this:
3) After you've bought a white unitard, you'll have to paint/colour the unitard. Paint red/maroon stripes in a downward diagonal direction,, haking them curve leaving spaces between them (as shown
below). Then add blak stripes in between them. You then add hatching on the sides, arms and legs with black and marron to bring the stipes together more and to give it more detail.
4) Either knit, buy or commision leg and arm warmers. If you buy warmers from the store, try and get some that are white,
and then you can paint or colour them (i'd suggest paint, only because the colour is bolder and stays on the fabric better).
