/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Also let me state that although there were some difficulties with the pattern, the fit of the costumes is excellent. I used a thin neoprene for the two that I made and I feel that is the best way to go. Also the pattern does not use a zipper to get into the costume, it is pulled over the head and snapped in the crotch.

Another issue with the pattern though is the use of foam to make the hip roll and sleeve puffs. It actually wants you to sew upholstery (like green foam from Joanns) foam together which, pretty much isn't possible unless you have a beast-ass machine. And for the sleeves, it says to double up on the foam which I also thought was unnecessary, although again, I was using neoprene and not spandex so that might have had something to do with it.

Sorry I don't have any pictures actually showing more of the costumes on us, but again, if you have some knowledge of sewing modifying patterns, I do recommend this pattern. You will get a costume that fits very well and looks very clean...probably one better than if you piece together various random patterns...
