costume-fat suit

Isn't that where you have huge shaped pillows hanging off your shoulders, and strapped to your chest and whatnot? That would seem to be the easiest way- make the appropriate foam shapes, and have lots of elastic straps to keep them in place. Then buy the big clothes to go over it. Or, if they insist it all has to be together, you could buy the suit, try on the foam pillows with temporary elastic straps, and put the suit on- then pin the pillows in place onto the suit, and baste/sew them to the suit.

Ok, that's what *I* would do-

Long underwear, size Omar the Tentmaker. Rit-dyed to flesh tone (whatever theirs is). Add naughty bits out of fabric (good luck finding a pattern). They can stuff as they wish.

You want the costume made for Bubbles deVere on BBCA's Little Britain.

You're not a Little Britain fan, I take it?

Oh geeze. I wasn't expecting *that*.

Hard to believe that's a man in there, isn't it? ;-)

Maybe something like getting a regular pair of longjohns, (top & bottom), then attaching the padding lumps to it, then covering that with some stretchy flesh-color knit? Something close to the kind of thing that pantyhose is made from?
