The Bodysuit. My second project after
the Qipao. The
bodysuit is always useful as a base or as the standard issue uniform of
the Femme Fatalle Spygirl.like The Shadoloo Dolls, Sarah Byrant or
Cammy. The one I'm making though is a simple one piec, long sleeve
bodysuit. The design is based on my qipao. As said this is based on
estimation. But if you want a nice smexy looking bodysuits instead. Go
buy one
Choice of cloth - Lycra (I haven't try other material)
zipper (because I choose zipper instead of velcro)
needle and thread
scissors
Your doll - I used medium bust 2 piece Obitsu to measure my bodysuits. Somehow what's snug for an Obitsu turns into skin tight for a BBI Perfect body. I don't how it works for bigger dolls but you can always try
Note - This is a long sleeve one piece bodysuit pattern with the zipper at the back. for other style alter as needed. And because lycra don't fray. I didn't hem in mine

| Fold the cloth in half. Place
doll on
outside of the cloth so that her shoulders touches the fold
line. |
 |
| Turn cloth inside out. Put doll
back on top of cloth. For me this is
the back of the outfit. See point from shoulder (the fold
line) to the naval of doll. Cut a slit
from fold line to doll's naval, It should look something like the pic below when unfolded |
 |
  |
| Turn fabricc outside. Cut a piece of lycra about 5-6 cm in length (i.e one index finger in length. Of course yours could be longer or shorter than mine. Measure on the doll's neck) and 1.5cm in width (i.e Thickness of on index finger). Sew it on so that you have a collar of sorts With the Zipper inside the outfit. Sew it on |
 |
 |
| Turn fabric inside out. Make
doll wear it so you can get idea of body shape. Use tacking stitch
to hold
fabric in shape. |
 |
| Remove doll. And now sew it. If
you want it to be tighter. Sew it clsoer to the inside
of the tacking stitch. And then cut out the excess material and turn it back outside |

| Zannah's outfit is worn back to
front just to prove a point. And if you think their outfits looks
familiar. Its the Doll unit outfit from Street Fighter Zero series.
Obi-Chun is cosplaying Yanyu on account of likeness( because I didn't
cut of Obi-Chun's braids). And not everybody have their hats |
