Hi all,
I've been lurking for a while as I was expecting our 8th child and was very
ill. She has been born (caesarean then golden staph)!! but I'm starting to
get back into work. A client has asked me to make a male and female "fat"
suit. I'm suffering from baby brain and can't think how to make them. They
have to be, I suppose like a pair of overalls with stuffing...Can anyone
help please?.......Amelia

Isn't that where you have huge shaped pillows hanging off your
shoulders, and strapped to your chest and whatnot? That would seem to
be the easiest way- make the appropriate foam shapes, and have lots of
elastic straps to keep them in place. Then buy the big clothes to go
over it. Or, if they insist it all has to be together, you could buy
the suit, try on the foam pillows with temporary elastic straps, and
put the suit on- then pin the pillows in place onto the suit, and
baste/sew them to the suit.

Ok, that's what *I* would do-

Yes that would work, but they want the costume to be nude! If it was to go
under clothes it would be easy!....Amelia

Long underwear, size Omar the Tentmaker. Rit-dyed to flesh tone
(whatever theirs is). Add naughty bits out of fabric (good luck
finding a pattern). They can stuff as they wish.

You want the costume made for Bubbles deVere on BBCA's Little Britain.
