Finally decided to get started on my replica build for Deadpool. I did a ton of research to figure out what the material was - I even called the studio directly - but decided the two way stretch leather I have access to would be less of a hassle than 3d printing high def silicone patterns on some 4 way stretch material etc etc for who knows how much that would cost.
Any tips along the way GREATLY appreciated but for those of you who are curious about making your own, I'm happy to share the journey. I've learned SO MUCH from therpf and don't get nearly enough time to post what I make. IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE: I'm open to doing suits on commission.
I'm 6'1, 170lbs (for reference). I tend to build VERY high detail costumes and fit is super important to me so here goes...
Step 1: Created a mock-up "cat suit" out of 2-way stretch vinyl
Step 2: Drew pattern lines for ~71 pieces front and back (not including sleeves) & size adjusted pieces
Step 3: Traced, cut and sewed sleeveless body suit out of black and red vinyl for mock-up #2
TBC: Step 4: Retrace pieces out of leather... sew... forever...
More updates coming
