ok, go to walmart and pick up some black hockey goal netting, or socker goal netting. then you have to wrap it around your predator skin your self and what not. hope this helps!

Baseball netting works perfectly. To adjust the size, just burn two thread together

I use badminton netting. The strands are thinner and interwoven chains rather than 1 piece of string notted with the rest.
Gives it a more refined detail look.

Old shrimp nets have the weathered look, if you can get your hands on some.

I think this is definitely useful more then trying to figure out sewing methods for the baseball netting and stuff. Just get it in a plus size

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

Do you not suggest this type of netting?

 

[PredatrHuntr]

I found that black baseball netting was the closest thing to the screen used netting. There is no sewing needed - just use a lighter to burn the two ends together. They melt and create a strong bond that wont break:

I wrapped them around the legs, and then cut them to the right size:

I wrapped the netting around the thigh and then used a lighter to melt them one by one. Same thing for the torso:

You can't even tell where the burn marks are.

The body netting has smaller squares and looks great on women, but the baseball netting is more suited for men. Just my opinion.

I just thought it would be easier because it already has the sleeves and legging to just put it on over the skin and then you are good to go. How long did it take you to do this?

 

[PredatrHuntr]

It will take longer, but the end result is much better than the fishnet body stocking - in my opinion.
