There is particularly a particular form of glamour that surrounds the idea of the Playboy Club and also the acceptance that is open humans like and want intercourse.

We wore my bunny costume to 1 associated with craziest Monday evening parties in Chicago for Halloween. I didn’t anticipate the energy this costume commanded in an audience of +600 individuals.

There are lots of connotations round the Playboy Bunny. Some connotations are negative however you cannot deny that ladies who worked within the Playboy clubs for the 1960s, 70s, and eighties had the chance to make a living that is good by themselves at the same time when that has been very difficult doing.

This guide covers making a pattern for the customized fit Bunny Suit, the construction, and a tips that are few styling the design.

Step one: Basic Elements and Inspiration

We invested an amount that is considerable of researching the costume. I assembled a mood board of photos that revealed the costumes that are bunny several years the groups had been available. A few of the style lines changed, plus the add-ons used.

The core components of the bunny costume – The Bunny Suit – a strapless playsuit cut like a maillot swimsuit detailed with tail – Bunny Ears for a headband – Cuffs with cufflinks on each wrist – Collar with bow-tie – To-the-waist stockings – Closed toe high heel shoes in black or match the color of this suit that is bunny

We developed a technical design of just what i desired my bunny costume to check like (ears perhaps maybe not pictured) and so I might have a foundation for reference while patterning. We received my design in Illustrator more than a tech sketch body kind. A hand draw design works as well so long as you are able to inform just what all things are said to be!

Step Two: General Supplies & Measurements

Patterning tools needed: – major paper – i take advantage of appropriate patterning paper this is certainly 36″ wide on a roll that is continuous. A far more manageable option is always to buy 18″ wide rolls of butcher paper or advertising paper. – Rulers! Grided rulers are the very best and may be located at most of the art shops using the visual design/plotting supplies. Quilting rulers work nicely but do not have 1/8″ markings. -A versatile ruler – typically found with quilting supplies and graphical design materials- make sure so it includes a ruler and it isn’t only a line maker that is flexible. – Hip/Arm curve – it’s not necessary but exceedingly helpful. a ruler that is flexible change this device. – Pencils with eraser – Pins – 12″ Cork squares (they are typically present in workplace supply aisle at shops nearby the cork panels)

Body dimensions you will need: Bust Bust Arc (Through the part that is widest of one’s breasts to your rib cage/underbust) Waist to Under breasts Side Seams Waist Abdomen Hip Waist to Hip Crotch Depth (easiest method to determine this might be to stay on a set area and measure from your own waistline to this area. Center Front waistline to Center Back Waist (involving the feet) Across Chest around Back Mid Shoulder to Apex Neck Wrist

Fabric and Notions: Heavy fat satin light-weight satin (for lining) Plastic boning (I suggest Rigilene however it may be difficult to find until you have severe sewing supplier. You will find it online or by the lighter fat stuff they carry at Hancock, Hobby Lobby, etc.) a steel zipper that matches your hefty fat satin – approximately 22″- 24″ long White satin Black satin or black colored ribbon Undecorated cufflinks (or cufflinks that really work along with your finished look) hefty weight interfacing precious precious precious Jewelry wire A headband blank (typically present in the bridal part of art stores) A skein of white yarn (for the end) dress Hooks Hook & Eye

Step Three: Bunny Suit Pattern Role 1 – Basic Layout

I will walk you through patterning the bunny costume. I do not have good pictures of each and every action for the patterning process because I made a few very large mistakes that I fixed along the way so I’ve added technical illustrations in an attempt to make everything clear that I did by hand!
