Convention Season Fabric Tips

Summer outdoor cons: Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics. Nylon spandex is moisture-wicking and quick-drying. Avoid heavy faux fur unless your costume requires it - consider wearing a cooling vest underneath.

Indoor winter cons: Heavier fabrics work fine since venues are climate-controlled. This is the best time for fursuits and layered costumes. Bring a repair kit (matching fabric scraps, needle, thread, safety pins).

All cons: Reinforce stress points (underarms, crotch seams, knee areas) with double stitching. Bring extra safety pins. Pack a steamer for wrinkles. Test your costume's range of motion before the con - you'll be wearing it for hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is best for cosplay bodysuits?

Nylon spandex is the industry standard for cosplay bodysuits and zentai suits. It has 4-way stretch to conform to the body, vibrant colors that pop in photos, and is lightweight enough for all-day con wear.

What fabric do you use for fursuits?

Faux fur fabric is the primary material for fursuits and mascot costumes. EOVEA's faux fur has a thick, realistic pile and comes in 28+ colors. Many fursuit makers also use polar fleece for accents and inner linings.

Can I sew spandex on a regular sewing machine?

Yes, you can sew spandex on a home sewing machine. Use a stretch needle (ballpoint), a zigzag or stretch stitch, and reduce your presser foot pressure. A walking foot attachment also helps feed the stretchy material evenly.
