Raichu indecision >.O

Getting more work done on my Raichu cosplay! At this point, depending on a few last minute changes I might make, I think I'm about 20-30% done. I'd like to ask for some suggestions to anyone who might happen to come across this. Being a Libra, I am the queen of indecision. >.<

Issue 1
So Raichu has white belly fur. I tried adding white belly fur to my cosplay, but I feel like it overpowers it (so I haven't sewn it on yet). I'm not quite sure if I should just sew it on the way it is, or cut it differently, or even omit it.

 Now see the pictures listed below.


Issue 2
The collar/zipper. At first, I had intended on cutting it out and just making it like a V-neck, then I decided to just leave the zipper because it looked okay. Here's a picture with the zipper and collar, and one with it tucked under (if I were to cut it off and sew it, it would look much better than just "tucked under" XD)

Issue 3
Brown leggings or orange leggings? (Wearing black in the pictures above because that's the only color I have at the moment.)

Issue 4
How do I pull this off and look neither stupid nor slutty? I'd like the median of cute, maybe even a touch sexy (aka, appropriate for a 20-year-old)? (hahaha, like THAT's ever gonna happen XD)

These are just the issues thus far. I still have to do the tail, ears, and back stripes. Knowing me, I'll come up with more indecision by then.

Yeah, any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Please cast a vote on issues 1 - 4 if you care enough to give your opinion! :3 (You know you want to!!! ....not like anyone even reads this... T_T Uhm, free Raichu hug to anyone who helps by giving their opinion and/or suggestions?)
