Hi hi!!! For october expo i'm cosplaying as Canada's Polar bear Kumajirou...

Which requires me to make a polar bear costume....


i dont want to melt so i dont think i'll be using faux fur..but there is like bonded wool stuff or white velvet i could use.

But my question is. How would i go about making a full body costume? I've never done it before.

Hope someone can help

you could always do it in fleece?
