Hello everyone, I'm planning for my first fullsuit and it is going to be a digigrade. My question for you is roughly how much fabric do you use on average to make such a suit? I am 5'5" and my costume head is going to have very large ears.
My second question is pertaining to a certain faux fur fabric offered by fabric empire. I am looking at the color "lion beige" (seen here: http://www.fabricempire.com/faux-fur-long-pile-lion-beige-fabric-64-wide-sold-by-the-yard.aspx) for parts of my planned suit. To my frustration they do not offer a swatch of the lion beige color and at this time I am unwilling to pay $20 (cost of a yard + shipping) for a yard of fabric I might not use. So what I'm wondering is- has anyone had any experience with this fur or knows of a suit made using it? If I could see something it's used on I might be able to better gauge if it is the right color for my suit. Thanks a heap!
