Well, I went ahead and posted my entry.  Frankly, it sucks.  I regret at least a little bit having taken the time to do it.  But now that it’s done, at least I can move on to other things.

I did use Nalim’s catsuit mod as, while it’s a catsuit, it’s a more believable one with seams and a leather-ish texture.  Made it gray and darkened the buckles in the front so they’d blend in better.  It’s based on the original Skyrim body which keeps the bust a reasonable size (appropriate for Katia)

The cloak itself is “grey linen” cloak from the other mod I’d mentioned. I actually based the color of the catsuit on it rather than the other way around.  If meant for stealth, grey would be the way to go after all.  Black is much easier to see than grey (gray?  whatever.)

It is equipped with a hood, though not really wear-able in Skyrim.  I left her without gloves/boots as 1. – I don’t think those would be included in the box and 2. – I didn’t have time to mod any existing ones to grey – they look cool in black but that sort of ruins the point for grey IMHO.

It’s got a neat effect you can’t see too well in screenshots when crouching, her face goes dark and swirly mystical smoke sort of curls around her.  Eye’s therefore become quite bright.  Pretty nifty and appropriate.  When the final CoGT outfit is chosen and I make a mod for it, I’ll want to include that.

Ok, enough of my failed attempt at a CoGT suggestion.  I know a good one from a bad one and, though in my mind it looked cool, in reality it does kinda suck.  Fortunately there’s a LOT of really good ones coming in now.  So this one can go in the Recycle Bin and I won’t feel too bad about it.  Just too bad I cant get those 2 hours back! 😉
