Fitting Cosplay to Your Body
The biggest challenge in plus size and curvy cosplay is that most costume patterns and tutorials assume a proportional relationship between measurements that doesn't match curvy bodies. A pattern graded to a size 16 on the chest may require a size 22 on the waist for the same person — and the construction of the pattern at size 22 may look completely different from the size 16. The solution is not to use a size 22 pattern and expect it to fit; it's to make a toile (mock-up) in your specific measurements and fit the pattern to your actual body before cutting into your fashion fabric.
