Rebecca Jayne Lodge Costumier

In order to create the basis for any costume costume the body shape must first be correct for the representation of the character. This is the orginial fat suit I created using layers of wadding, tights and latex. I built layered circular and oval shapes over a t-shirt and leggings to create a realistic rounded body shape, distributing the wadding in the appropriate areas. The wadding can be placed in different places to create varying body shapes and sizes. The final shape has been covered with tights to smooth off the wadding and create a casing. In order to achieve the skin texture latex mixed with skin toned paint has been painted over the surface of the tight.
