I'll never make a bunny suit, but this is one of the most detailed explanations for how to measure the body for this type of thing I have ever seen. I can't wait to see it all come together
Watching someone else do the measurements *without help* is something I've wanted to see for a long time! Its reassuring to know exactly how much you can move and still get reasonably accurate numbers.
I like that you are honest about the parts you struggle with, it's nice to see that everyone has struggles in the sewing room, haha! I also liked the tips for taking some of the more intimate body measurements in a less touchy way, I've never heard of those methods before
Would you ever do a vlog/video on your MFA? I've never seen someone talk about a thesis in fine arts and I love how you talk about garment design and costuming! I just found your channel this month and I'm not all caught up, sorry if you've already done this?
This is such a wonderfully thorough video! The measuring portion of this is a great reference section even if we're not making a corset body! The patterning process is so cool. Hope you have a happy new year!!
This is a gold mine of information!! I'm definitely saving it for later. Do you mind if I write up the patterning steps blog-style (of course linking back to the video)?
This was super helpful! Both the instructions for measuring and for drafting! It was a very thourough explanatoon on the drafting which is very aprpeciated!
I love all your videos, I think you're so cool. I'm almost 30 and I'm so introverted but man.... we have so many overlapping interests lol, kinda I wish I was brave enough to try to be friends with you. Anyway, Just wanted to tell you that your videos are reaching a niche audience that really wants this content :D Tysm!!! You're amazing!
It would be wonderful to see a bodice block made. Especially if you make it using your measurements. Everyone I've seen use "standard" measurements without how to adjust for your actual measure.
the way ive made bunnysuits is by taking my basic bodice block, measuring down from the waist how ever much the crotch measurement is to make point a. drawing how wide the crotch will be horizonatl from point a to make point b then connect point b to the bottom of the hip dart. (my hip darts are usually divide the front hip by 3 and the back hip by 4.) Then make a curved line connecting the hip dart to where the botton of the side seam will be.
I thought this was incredibly helpful! And the moment when my brain processed where the side seam was in relation to the pattern pieces you were building felt a little like that galaxy brain meme 🤣. Thank you so much for sharing, I feel like I'll be coming back to this video often to follow along - I learned so much!
Yess thank you for this! Im in the process of making aranea blacks bunny suit which is great, but its nice knowing how to pattern draft it myself if i need to, i love this video!
I wanted to do the aranea black bunny suit but it sais, that the website is closed so I can't reach this pattern. Maybe you can help me out by sending it to me?
Oh YES!! I'm wanting to make a bunny suit for a Burlesque routine (except I'll be a lop bunny, so with long floppy ears lol). Thank you so much for this incredible resource!
This set of videos helped me feel so much more willing to try to make my first corset with little experience. Thanks for going to drafting and suggesting the zip :)
As someone that had clothes handmade by their grandma but never got taught how to make things, thank you for letting me relive this and learn a little bit.
Will you go to Heaven when you die ? Have you ever Lied, stolen, used Gods name in vain (such as OMG), Had sex outside of Marriage ? Truth is...We have all sinned and broke Gods laws. And sin is what sends us to Hell. But even though we broke Gods laws, God being rich in mercy sent his son Jesus born of a virgin. He lived a sinless perfect life something we could not do. He willingly went to the cross and took the punishment we deserve by dying on the cross for our sins. Then 3 days later rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eye witnesses and then ascended into Heaven where he sits at the right hand of God. So please today put your Faith and trust in Jesus before its too late.

Yes, videos on making blocks would be amazing! Honestly I havent seen a decent pant block video online yet. Do you have any recommendations?
A sad fyi: the aranea corsets/ stay patterns are no longer available.
I wish the patterning was done in black sharpie so it was easier to see. Great video
I'm glad you're demoing how to measure by yourself. 👍🏽 very helpful
Yes! I would love a video on how to make a basic block!
Happy New Year! If you do a patreon I will totally support you and your art! Thanks for the 'how to' tutorial, I still struggle a lot with that.
Unfortunately Aranea took down her entire website recently :( i have the pattern saved but its still a huge bummer
I would really really appreciate tutorials on pattern blocks! You do such an amazing job at explaining everything you do!
This is a gold mine of information!! I'm definitely saving it for later. Do you mind if I write up the patterning steps blog-style (of course linking back to the video)?
A body block video would be amazing! I’ve never patterned anything and I know this is a good way to start, but I have no idea what I’m doing haha.
the websitte for the bunny suit is closed
I'm so excited to try this out, I really appreciate you walking through the whole patterning process!
yesssssss make a patreon!
This was super helpful! Both the instructions for measuring and for drafting! It was a very thourough explanatoon on the drafting which is very aprpeciated!
Is there any (tropical climate frendly (??? ) alternative for the tights??

Hi there! The Aranea Black website is closed, do you have another link for a corset body?
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing such a detailed explanation on this
This was really interesting! It really helps to see how to properly measure ourselves. 😊
My brsin started frying at 17:20 ugh
Same, I’m still stuck
Has your instagram changed? The link in the video description doesn't go to an active account.
Oops, fixed it, thanks for letting me know!

(my hip darts are usually divide the front hip by 3 and the back hip by 4.) Then make a curved line connecting the hip dart to where the botton of the side seam will be.
once i have that, i fit it and draw the corset-like seams on. then cut on those drawn seams to make a pattern.
id love to join patreon for more of your big brain costume knowledge
