Preparing to make my Tali Unitard

For CONvergence 2014 I will be making a Tali'zorah cosplay.

I just recently started playing Mass Effect and Tali is such a cool and intriguing character and her outfit is so cool! Here I will be logging my creative journey to completing my Tali'zorah costume. Yesterday I purchased some black and grey knit fabric to use for my Tali costume. I made sure the black fabric was light and stretchy but also that it wasn't see through, don't need to show more then intended.

I started to mark off the pattern lines for my uni-tard last night with ribbon and pins. I discovered that it is hard to pin on open gaps and where the dials are to I added some red flannel in so that I can pin directly on it. I also decided that since I have to do legs too it would be best to have one on the dress form so with an old wrapping paper roll some fiber-fill and red felt I pinned on a leg, problem solved!.

I also used some felt to begin work on patterning out the leather vest piece.

This morning I used paint and made a stencil pattern for the elongated hexagon parts of the uni-tard.
