I'm starting a symbiote suit and I found this fabric online that I think would look super slick for the black base material.
This is what it looks like.
It is 95% polyester and 5% lycra. It's 4 way stretch but only has 20% stretch. I know a lot of other spandex materials that people use have a lot more stretch than that. I can't find anywhere that offers a swatch for this stuff. So, I can't put it through the ringer to make sure it will work. Can anyone tell me if this will be stretchy enough? I don't want to put the whole thing together only to find that I can't even wear it.
I also have a plan for the white spiders and hand patches that I hope will work. I'm going to be using EasyWeed Stretch heat transfer vinyl. https://www.siserna.com/easyweed-stretch It's made for use on spandex materials and I'm hoping it will transfer well onto this textured material. Anyone have experience with this stuff? It's all new to me.
Thanks for your help. I'll keep this thread up to date as things get going.
