Hi fursuit,
I'm having trouble with a bodysuit I'm making for someone. This was a previous post I made on the same subject: http://fursuit.livejournal.com/5986457.html
This is for a plantigrade suit with no padding, and the recipient wants it to fit nicely and not be baggy. However, he also wants to have a large range of motion, like, a climbing-trees and squatting to the floor sort of range. I'm using a pattern made from a duct tape dummy, and trying to decide how much extra material to add to each panel. (I'm using Temperance's method as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1zo8mPSFXs )
Test fittings haven't worked very well for us, as it seems every mockup and every adjustment I've made so far have been too tight for his liking, even though I based them off measurements of non-stretch clothing that fit him. I'd like to know if just adding an inch or two of extra fabric to each body panel will fix this problem, now that I have a dummy to work off of. I don't want to resort to making a gunny-sack body >.<
