hey all, I'm gonna talk about Zentai suits.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zentai

It's basically a bodysuit that covers your entire body
I've made zentai suits for men using a pattern I made. I make a seperate hood and gloves.I also put a zipper in the front because it was more convenient for my client, esp when he had to use the restroom. ;-)

For the hood and gloves I used a simple pattern I just posted on this tribe.

I'm putting a bunch of links about bodysuits and some patterns I found. Some are womens but you can alter the pattern to make it fit you as it's basically the same.

If you are a taller/bigger size, you need to widen and lengthen the areas of your pattern where it's needed. Most patterns have a line where you an increase/decrease the length of the pattern piece.
If you need to widen it, you'll do it at the side seams, just add inches as needed. You'll also need to add some to the shoulder seam and sleeve area and your sleeves.
It's best to take a look at an actual pattern that has a few sizes already. It's usually one pattern with each size cutting lines, increasing for bigger sizes.

I know it sounds a bit complicated and it can be for a novice sewer, but it's all a matter of trail and error.

You'll need a good 4 way stretch fabric and either a serger or use zig-zag stitch o your machine or if your machine has a stretch stitch already.

take a look at the links and ask any questions you have.
