Hi, I am making my very first cosplay so I don't really have any experience at this point. I chose the amazing spider-man 2 suit to make a perfect replica of but I don't know where to start. I've seen a lot of people on the internet attempting to do so but even tho they love it, the suit is clearly not that great compared to the movie, (even tho some people like spiderlabs have made perfect copys). they always have the color off and the texture doesn't look the same. So here are my questions to help me make the perfect suit. please keep in mind that I want to make it as accuarte to the movie as possible but it's not gonna be a one time use suit.
1. what is the best material that also have the same shiny(I think it's shiny) texture of the movie.
2. how do get the color to look right? especially the red that looks really dark. Also I think the suit has a kind of shadow printed on but am not sure.
3. how do I make the webbing? Keep in mind that it's not a one time use suit so it has to be a durable webbing.
4.where can I find a good pattern file that's accuarte and Don't have the back piece in half. I absolutely hate the sewing line in the back so I want a pattern with the back in a single piece.
5. Am not very familiar with cosplay so can someone please explain the different types of fabric and the printing technique. I heard termed like "dye sub" or "screen printed" but I don't anything about them. Some will tell me to use google but am looking to understand how they affect my costume and which one is better depending on the situation rather than their mere definition.
6. Last thing, do anyone have a link to a video/ article that's talk about the making of the original suit used by the andrew in the movies?
Thank you and all help will be greatly appreciated!
