I sometimes get asked for a tutorial on how I made my 1 week iron man costume, but like most things on the internet, someone’s already made a better one!

Here’s some videos he’s made that I think are particularly good:

This technique would also be fantastic for anyone making halo armour. He uses PVA coating and various paints while I used PVC fabric stretched over foam, but I think his technique is much better for a beginner with armour, and has many advantages (like the way it treats curves and strength) that PVC doesn’t.

Just waiting on the photos and videos from minami, but until then I’ve come across a fantastic set of Corset tutorials that pretty much cover corsets from start to finish!

(I like this method most as it reduces the stress on the seam of the corset and creates a little flap to prevent a gap at the front)

Sewing the damn thing together!

(This is the method I use the most, great to have a well written tutorial on it!)

Finishing it off!
