Brussels 2020 - With my boyfriend, we created our own latex catsuits “made to measure”. First step: cover your body with bin bag, then layer tightly with duct tape. Draw with pencil anatomic lines and points, that will be very useful (hips, etc, the more detail, the better !!). Also it is helpful to draw horizontal lines that will be used for horizontal reduction work on latex.Cut through selected lines to get a first set of patters.All the game is to get patterns as flat as possible to be able to draw them on paper: 3D –> 2D. Where it is not flat enough you should divide again the the part. Draw your flattened patterns on paper. This is what your real body is like on 2D !Then it is time to apply your horizontal reduction. Apply a reduction coefficient to your paper patterns. For 0.7 mm thickness latex reduce by 5-7% the size through horizontal lines. For 0.4 mm use a reduction coefficient of around 10%.Redraw with horizontal correction (we do not use vertical reduction).Then draw your reduced paper pattern on latex adding a margin of ca 5 mm for glueing. Cut latex (rotary cutter), clean edges (isopropanol or white spirit), glue (careful as glue is solvent based, use a gasmask or properly ventilate), wait, stick edges together.You may also decide to add a zipper to your work. I’ll publish another post to explain how to do that. -- source link
