Undersuit Pattern Info
« Thread Started on Feb 18, 2009, 5:27am »
Wally aka Sgt. Carida sent me the info that he used for making his undersuit. Here it is for anyone that wants to make their own as well. I ordered mine and some other patterns as well.

http://www.kwiksew.com

Pattern #: 2331 Unisex Bib Overalls

There are some more overall patterns in the men's section as well

Keep in mind that you'll have to do some modifications to the pattern to get the seamless look and don't forget to add the pockets.

I don't see the "bib-overall" look in the screen shots, I'm thinking of going with a "Starter" Short-Sleeve Performance Tee, "Greystone" color http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10714076 for the belly part of this costume. My opinion of the "bib-overall" just looks way too bulky. For the sleeves & neck area I have a black thin-ribbed turtleneck for that.

I went with the bulky look given the fact that the marines we see on Mygeeto were fighting in a cold-climate and most likely had some sort of insulated gear. In fact, I lined my undersuit with fleece to give it a bit more "heft". I used the overalls pattern, but modified it to be sleeveless and colarless. It also has a back closure and has a plain, flat front panel. I added 5x5 cargo pockets on the thighs with a straight-edge flap and velcro closure.

I am probably going to have to adjust the shoulder and side areas a bit so that they are not visible under the chest armor, but I need to get the chest/back pieces trimmed and assembled before heading back to the seamstress.

My costume is currently just a black longsleve underarmour type of shirt, until I complete the V2 of my GM. Afterwards, I'll see what material works best with my costume.

It gets pretty hot here in Southern California & the Star Wars universe is way different than our universe. I do not like the bulky look at all, especially since I don't see that in the screen shots, action figure or mini-bust (just my 2 Republic credits).

Yeah. This will primarily be a cold-weather rig for me here in Indiana...unlike SoCal, it does get a bit chilly here! ;) Just to be clear, I'm referring to the lower body portion of the costume. I will be using either an UA top or a ribbed-turtle neck for the upper body.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about (the lower body portion), too bulky for my taste. :-/ To each his own, though. 8-)

Yeah, as long as the color is close and the pockets are in the proper location, fabric type and weight may be a geographical and personal-taste thing.
