Hi! Mind me if I ask for some advice? I'm making a cosplay with the upper part like this. I DO NOT need to make a full bunny suit, as I need to stop at the hips and have different details. What would be yur recommandations for pattern making in this case?

Thanks so much for releasing your pattern and tutorial!
I have a question about printing to scale. There's no sizing square to reference so I printed at 100% and hoped for the best, but after assembling it's clearly bigger than the guide measurements would suggest.
Can anyone tell me the intended size of a good reference point on the pattern, like the outline of the size chart or the icon explanation box?

I printed out the pattern and made a mock-up of the suit out of muslin this weekend. I thought it printed too big until my roommate realized that I did not take in the correct seam allowance. I redid the mock-up with a seam allowance between .5" and .8" (originally I did it at .4"). According to the measurements on the pattern the size 16 should be 38"bust, 30"waist, and 40" hip. I hope that helps a bitΒ

Hi! I'm so glad I found this tutorial! I'm cosplaying Scarlet Witch for Comic-Con this year, so I'm glad I found this! Anyways, is there any way you could write up like a list of materials? I'm trying to find everything from the tutorial alone, but I'm having a bit of trouble. Thank you!!

Thanks so much Jesse! Β I just started on my suit using your pattern as a base (I sewed a mockup last night to get my perfect fit ^_^). Β I had two questions about the tutorial - what layer are we sewing the cup into? Β It looks like we sew it to the facing layer between the facing and the lining but I wanted to clarify ^_^ Β Also, does it make a difference what way the bones face in the end? Β i.e. does it matter if the side with the bias tape visible on the facing is towards the lining or the fashion fabric? Β
Thanks so much! Β I'm making so many bunny suits thanks to you!

what size boning did you use? 1/4 or 1/2? and roughly how long did you need to cut it? 4-5ins?

are you still keeping the inside a secret, or does it get revealed with the instructions that come with this new iteration of the pattern?
π: 0 β©: 1
It really isn't anything that will keep you from making a good bunny suit. It's something I've experimented with and it hasn't quite worked the way that I've wanted to yet, which is why I haven't shared it. Until I can successfully do it, I'm not going to include it.

WoW So useful!! I think this will help me a lot!!

Are you still selling the Bunny Suit Pattern? If so I'd love to know how much it is and save up for it! I really love your work!

I know it's been a while, but I just a new and improved one on Storenvy! It's available in a TON of sizes and a better fit as well as more information! jpridemore.storenvy.com

I bought it and am going to make a Poison Ivy cosplay first. Wish me luck!!

I've read this a whole lot, and I realized that your tutorial doesn't cover joining the lining/ interlining to the fashion piece. Is this also a secret?
π: 0 β©: 2
You do it with the facing. It's kind of irrelevant and I'm going to update the pattern. You can just sew them together and flip them like you would a normal 2 or more piece garment.
π: 0 β©: 0
I believe it's there at the very end ("Start slip stitching everything closed" meaning all layers). After the lining & interfacing are joined and the zipper is basted on, then you line up everything with your outer layer (fashion layer), being sure to line up all the edges and all the seams. She suggests sewing everything with a slip stitch, but I tend to sew down the ditch (sew in the seams between the pieces) to hide my seams (it's easier for me). Regardless, it's probably best to work from the middle out so you can pull out any ripples as you go.

wow, I wish I had this for when I was making my Scarlet Witch. I just drafted a pattern and made up the steps! I got it right, apparently (i didn't line mine, however) but since I plan to remake mine out of leather, I will have to look at my pattern and this tutorial and see where I can improve! my problem is I used plastic boning, and it is lumpy, and since I'm not skinny enough, I need my cinching power. This was REALLY helpful. THANK YOU AGAIN!
now to the planning stages of my cosplay take-two!

Did you use fusible interfacing for the satin or did you use sew on? I was afraid the fusible might ruin the satin.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Fusible. You just have to be slow and careful about it.

I was wondering, what are the facing lines and what are the for?? (for the life of me I can't figure it out and Google is no help >.<)
π: 0 β©: 1
They are actually kind of irrelevant, I'm going to be updating the tutorial. You can just sew the top of the bodice together and flip it like you would with any 2 or more piece garment.

When doing a mock-up, do you leave it as just the lining layer and pin accordingly, or do you use all three layers plus boning for the mock-up? Just curious because I'm about to start mine today.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope. You don't have to do all of that!

So, where do you buy those bra cups? ;-;
I've been looking for them for a while now and didn't succeed in finding some /:
Please someone help me?
π: 0 β©: 1
Any fabric store should carry them.

Rarely. Sometimes i pick them up for people who are local.

This tutorial helps so much, I've always admired your bunny suits. Are you still planning on giving out the inner secrets of the suit? I may just hold off on making mine until then.
π: 0 β©: 1
Probably not. It's the only secret I keep (mostly) to myself. Though I tend to tell people who ask me in person.

I'm going to attempt a bunny suit, this helps sooo much, THANK YOU!

Nice tutorial! Hugs from Chile.

Thanks so much for the tutorial & patterns you sell on etsy! They are both amazing! Do you have any suggestions on where to find spiral steel? None of my local stores carry it and I'm not sure which online sellers are the best. Thanks again!
