I made this dress the other day to wear on Christmas day for a family get together. c: I was pleased with how it turned out, very much how I imagined it would. There were a few difficulties when I was making it. For some reason the zipper foot and zipper did not want to cooperate and I eventually just put in the zipper by hand, however it turned out better then it usually does with a machine! xD So that may not be the last time I do it that way.

Thanks Marcus. c:
Yes I usually do preliminary drawings before I just go at it haha
I also draft most of my own patterns to get the perfect fit and style. Yes I did! I really like sewing and man if I had more time it would be a bigger hobby of mine. ; c;

no problem...I've always wanted to create my own tabbard (medieval tunic) to go frillying around in haha...given me some good ideas :) of course heraldry is pretty important on those tunics as it shows, your affiliations with a group/house family! Hope you do more textile stuff your pretty good at it

Dude, you don't even know, I have wanted to make myself something like that FOREVER. I think it would be so fun to walk around looking like a badass all the time. >8D
But people would probably give me odd stares haha!
Thank you! I am working on a commission for a friend of a Robin costume at the moment actually. It's a bit different since it's skin tight, but I think it will turn out. I'll post pictures when I finish. c:
It will(hopefully) look like this: [link]

shit that looks like it will be a GREAT project to be working on :-) Make sure to post up some wips too! Have you acquired all the templates on all the sections? This might be more challenging than your previous one, I may be incorrect but if this is done right it will get ALOT of attention :) good luck! Is she/he going to cosplay with it?

Sure thing!
I'm working out the pattern right now, I've got most of the torso section figured out but not the legs yet. I've never made skin tight pants or anything of the sort before, and I've never made anything for a male either so there are some challenges down there that I am unfamiliar with haha
Yeah Robin is his favorite hero and I'm pretty sure he just wants to wear it whenever he can lol He's like an adult kid.

ahh adult kids are probably the most fun people to be silly with...just refusal to grow old and age some people who are 50 + still have a child like mentality and still are successful, strange eh?

Just be sure to take ALL measurements from the guy or let him provide you with all the nessecary measurements of the important parts which will make up the costume! Also when do you have time for this? Something on the weekends? I'm really struggling to find time for working on my predator cosplay limited to sundays etc

I agree! This guy is fun haha
I think I'm going to be one of those people in my 50s who still acts like a kid lol, and I hope I'm successful too!

I have taken all the measurements, and I have made some of the costume rather form fitting, though it shouldn't take much since we're using spandex. I've never sewn with something like this though so I'm going to take it slow. I'm not sure if it will matter too much if it' too form fitting if it's going to be stretchy? idk, it will be trial and error I guess.

Predator cosplay? Awesome! ; A;
Pics?
