I have been messaged occasionally regarding how I made my bunny suit, so I decided to make a patterning tutorial! Always a fan of hot babes in bunny suits! I hope this makes it a bit easier... if something is unclear let me know so I can make revisions.

Photo on the top left was taken by ~Morataya, and the original can be seen here. [link]
Sketches, graphics, layout, and instructions were made by myself.

This is such a LIFE saver, thank you for making it!!! Do you have any recommendations on how to calculate how much fabric is needed to make the suit? I can private message you my measurements if that will help?

Hi Ashlen! It depends on how wide your fabric is, but generally you'd need about a yard and a half minimum for a bunny suit. One way I calculate how much I need for a costume in general is to make the pattern first and see how many pieces I can fit within a 22" or so rectangle. Most fabric comes between 44"-60" wide bolts, so if you picture it folded up it helps. :)

Oh man, I LOVE Black Canary! Which version of her are you doing? I think you're going to look very beautiful and AWESOME as her! X3

That sounds look a good and full to-cosplay list! :D I'll be around here and there if you have any questions! :D In the meantime, have you checked out Jessie's bunny suit tutorials? She changes her SN often so it may be under Rufflebutt or AnimeAngel.

Yes I have! I actually purchased her pattern for it to, but decided to go with something more catered to my body since its not the average shape ;P! I am doing the Jim Lee version of black canary :D so more of a heart shaped chest part. Thanks for your help, I am sewing the mockup today so i might pm you with some questions >_<!

Btw I love your cosplays your really talented and beautiful :D!

Thank you for your genius tutorial! I'm so amazed by how clever this is!
But I do have a question. How did you install the zipper? I pinned a 7 inch into the back of my mock-up, but sadly I couldn't get my butt through it... sob.
I was thinking I just needed a longer zipper, but then would it look weird to have one almost to my crotch? Then I thought I could put one in the side, but then would it screw with the boning? I'm a little stuck.
But thank you again, this really is awesome.

Hi there, Lilac! Thank you so much for the kind words! :D Yes, a longer zipper will solve your woes. I actually have a zipper that goes down to my mid-butt since my hips are super-wide! I definitely recommend putting the zipper in the back. The least amount of bunching happens there, too. Feel free to comment again when you get stuck, I am certain your questions will benefit others. Best of luck to you! :D
