HI guys, my birthday is coming up on this Halloween, and i would really love to make a glider costume for myself.

Ive done a bit of googling and couldnt find anything other than this:

and this :



now i dont really like either of them, but i think the one on the left in the first picture is wayy better.

I was curious if i could get help or ideas!?!
Or if anyone knows where i can purchase one you would be amazing!

Im not quite sure if i want a mask, i was really thinking about getting a big onsie, and some how coloring it appropriatly. I would cut the sides and sew fabric from the wrist to the ankle, i want it to be all open and airy inside of the costume (more room for real suggies ) not like a cape that drapes down, and sew a hood to make ears and also a tail on the back.

Kinda like the costume the kid has in "where the wild things are". I really dont want it look anything like this:



NO offense to anyone with their costumes!!!! i just kniow what i want and dont want!

ANY and all help or constructive criticism is welcome!

I have a couple months to get it made so please help me out in any wayyyy

ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME ;]

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread, because I was thinking about making my daughter a sugar glider costume for halloween..... Good luck and post a pic of the end product once you figure something out!

Lol, you should make a pouch for the costume. Make it where is has zipper closure so that you can have gliders in it.

I know a few people you should ask- but check out some of the fur suit communities (with a grain of salt). There are quite a few awesome ones I can recommend to you (they make it an absolute art) and some to avoid- try to stay away from cartoon-ish if you can...

This girl is my absolute favorite ever and I covet her stuff- she also has some really awesome tutorials... especially on her Deviant art site...

When I find some tutorials I will send them to you

her stuff is great but she is closed because of her wedding lol thats sad cause now i want one lol

This cracks me up! I think they are cute!! Anyone ever see the CSI episode when people dressed up as animals for some crazy reason?? Reminds me of that.

Roxie- are you talking about Furries? That's an entire sub culture lol! I have a "Furrie" friend. She's one of the coolest people I know. A lot of people associate all Furries with the subclass of Furries that are sex based. But a lot of them just enjoy dressing up! I dunno, sounds like a good time to me every once in a while!

Yeah.. sadly there's a lot of creepers out there that give the rest of people a really bad rap. =/

oh awesome! thanks for the replies guys. My main concern is how hot it gets in the costume! I live in a desert it gets really warm!

Im still looking around for different ideas but those links helped alot!!!

Also kazko, im interested in some of the details on the costume you posted, is that you or do you know anything about it?
