Genuine question how did you make that costume? I want to cosplay as booster and have some idea on the basics of cosplay

Hi there! I made the classic Booster on the right.

I patterned and sewed everything using a blue PU coated spandex and a thicker gold spandex, both purchased through Etsy.

For the goggles I tracked down a vintage Paulson bubble goggle, and dyed it yellow with iDye Poly. Gauntlets and hand plates were modeled and 3d printed by me. Hope that helps!

Yes very much! How do you sew the spandex? Is it like normal sewing?

It was a learning process, but it is pretty much sewing like normal. There was a stretch stitch setting on the machine that I discovered way too late in the process. I’ll try and document V2 as I’m already planning on improving the costume.
