Warp Speedo

As you may have seen prior, I used the below 1940's bathing suit pattern to create my (hopefully) super cute space suit for Halloween.
Pattern used...
After making the complete outfit out of three different types of fabric, I decided that all the ruching added a lot of bulk after adding my belt and holster. Also, The Lotte & Glico companies add enough bulk to me without my suit design adding even more. The closer Halloween gets the more nervous my fat ass gets, quite honestly. We digress...

I ended up modifying the pattern, removing the ruching, and I think it turned out darn cute. It was hard to get it to fit perfectly since I was era accurate and didn't use anything that had "stretch" since they didn't use to much of that in 1942. It has the built in undies just like an old fashioned bathing suit.
Space Suit

I only have some fancy gloves and a little caplet left to make.
Well, and some finishing touches on my helmet followed up by 30 days of intense fucking Jazzercise.
Umm-chicka, umm-chicka, umm-chicka-umm now take it to the right...

Thank you, Lover Muffin.
I hope you enjoyed the Jazzercise...
I have never laughed so hard at someone I wanted to kill before.
