Sailor Star Lights Fabric Question

This thread is archived.

  • I wanted to get an opinion on what fabric might be considered best for a Sailor Star Lights costume. I was thinking something along the lines of stretch vinyl or metallic looking spandex instead of having to fight with leather. Any ideas?

  • This reply is really late, but I guess for anyone else with the same question, I can answer for you since I just recently made a Sailor Star Fighter costume: [URL="http://www.acparadise.com/display.php?p=289038"]http://www.acparadise.com/display.php?p=289038[/URL]

    I used regular PVC vinyl fabric. It wasn't the best quality but I didn't really have much choice considering the area I live in. My friend that I was helping to make a Star Maker costume ordered a stretch PVC fabric from this site called [URL="http://www.mjtrends.com/"]MJTrends[/URL]. It was actually much better quality than mine and more flexible since it stretches, although it didn't have as much gloss as my fabric does. I think it was available in 2-way and 4-way stretch, and I would highly recommend it.

    I've considered spandex as well, but I'm not sure how it would look. If I make a swim-friendly version maybe I'll try it out. ^_^
