Zoe Heriot Sparkly Catsuit

I'm going to be cosplaying as Zoe from the Mind Robber for Convergence this summer, and I was wondering how others have handled making the catsuit. I know some of you on here have made them yourself, and I wanted to know if you found/bought a pattern or made one yourself. If you know of any place where I could get patterns for it, that would be

I would write or PM flibertyjibitz who made the catsuit my GF wears for tips. It was made from scratch essentially using stills/screengrabs and her previous work on making catsuits for a '66 Batgirl and '66 Catwoman costume as a base. There is not standard pattern i know of but I'm sure there must be something out there that can be found as a base and then altered.

I know lighting plays merry havoc on color sometimes but we determined based again on how it photographed in different light and how similar fabric used on said Catwoman and batgirl suits reacted that Zoe's catsuit was essentially sparkly silver with a black undertone. Frazer Hines himself confirmed this was the color to us at the 2010 Gallifrey when another girl who had gone the purple route wanted to know which version was correct. "It looked like that!" he said as he pointed to my GF's outfit. It was likely a 2 way stretch sparkly spandex. We found our fabric at britex.com but it was pretty pricey and this was back in late 2009. The two elders in the episode "The Empath" of Seaoson 3 Star trek TOS wear a similar fabric as a pair of gowns.
