Well, all of Geryy's stuff is crucial. I'd say the first thing the newbie need is a concept and a sketch on a piece of paper. From there they can determine the necessary props. Will they need the unitard, leotard, catsuit or paint the costume on? Is there a cape? P4 Fem or Victoria? P4Male or Mike? Hope this helps some.
