Hopefully this video will help you give you the basics of making a suit by crazydog500. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhkUNmZuuFY

Another great video I have come across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TepHU7p4MHE (It goes in depth of different ways of making the suit and gives you background info!)

This is an image I have found online on how to put the suit together.

This is an image I have found online on how to size the suit

This can vary where to exactly measure depending on which pattern you have that position the tip of the belt like on a Rami Spidey suit style pattern, but just measure between the eyes and the tip of the belt or where the tip of the belt would be at if you aren't exactly sure.


The following image is a visual aid by kenlandrum to help identify what part of the pattern goes where.



This is a video I made on how to make your own suit pattern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1bBpY4v_nA

If you want anymore pattern video tutorials let me know!

This is a thread that contains free rami suit pattern files:http://www.therpf.com/f78/spider-man-raimi-3d-print-files-pattern-free-207565/

You can get your pattern printed at Fabric on Demand. (FOD) http://www.fabricondemand.com/
Make sure you calculate your cost by the longest side which is either the length or the width of the pattern and round up to the next yard and calculate your cost through that. After that, to make sure the image is the right size, tell them to print the pattern with the specific height and width of the pattern by inches which you can find by opening up the image in a program such as Photoshop.

Hope all this helps.This is for new people who can read this instead of making a new post on questions that have been asked to death.

(Read this and use your morals!)

Do not go on Ebay for patterns, usually they stole them from other people! Ask on the RPF to make sure if the seller isn't a thief if you really want a pattern on Ebay. Ask on the RPF if a site is okay to buy a suit that doesn't look like a typical spider-man suit (higher quality than normal). Sometimes a site will steal an artist's pattern to make suits off of without consent. I don't wanna name any sites in risk of getting them more business. Just try to ask on the RPF if you aren't sure.

Update: a fellow RPF member went an made this free PDF guide you could read on the go and sorts. http://tiny.cc/tasm2guide

Why would you want to do that? A paper printout won't make a costume and fabric and paper handle so differently that you can't really check or test anything on a paper printout.

Does anyone know if there is a way that you could make sure it fits from your computer, because I'm making a suit for someone around 5'5 or 5'6 and I don't want to end up with something too big or small. Can anyone help?

A good rule of thumb for anything bigger than your thighs, is that the measurement of the fabric should be roughly 80%-90% of the measurement you are looking to match in order for the fit to be good. The bigger the body part you are looking to match the lower that percentage should be.

For example: If your chest is 36 inches, then you'd be looking for the measurement across all the pieces that make up the chest (Chest, back #1, and back #2) to be somewhere around 29-32.5 inches. it's not an exact science, and obviously a little bagginess isn't the end of the world, but it'll give you a decent estimate.

...just for reference, I usually use 85-90% for a chest measurement and 90% for overall height.

I know the chart to resize the pattern is there, but I can't find a /HOW/ to do it. What is the right way? Ruler tool in photoshop and then a transform? If you can give me the details I would be super grateful.

The transform tool is one way (always remember to hold shift while dragging the size of the image to make sure everything is in ration!)

What I do is I measure the area between the eyes and the belt and make a new layer and fill that space with a rectangle then I drag the rectangle in the top left corner and look at the bottom of the rectangle for the size of the suit then I go to image size and resize the image to the point its the right size I want when looking at the bottom of the rectangle.

Is it possible to make a tutorial on this

Do you happen to know where I could find any patterns that don't have all of the muscle shading? I really want to make the suit from the first Amazing Spider-Man movie, but all the patterns I've seen so far are shaded for a man's figure, and I'm a girl sooo that wouldn't look quit right on me haha

If you buy a pattern from someone like Orhadar they will remove the shading if you don't want it.

Can always down my .layered .psd files for free and turn the muscle shading OFF.
