It may be any type of jersey, knit, spandex, or rayon. It is important to have a 4-way stretch so that the foam rubber fits into the wings easily. I used 95/5 cotton/elastane. Fabric consumption: up to 1.7 yards/1.5 meters. Other materials: 1. 20 inches / 50 cm foam rubber sheet. I used a 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) wide foam rubber sheet. You may use one that is a little wider or thinner. 2. Some kind of thick black fabric for the spots. I used plush because it is thick enough to prevent the glue leak through. You are going to need 4 inches (10 cm) for the spots. 3. Textile glue (optional). You may as well sew the spots in place. 4. Pipe cleaners and 2 pom poms for the antennae. If you prefer you may use a headband instead of the hat. I made the costume in the winter and a hat seemed more appropriate.
