The Male Catsuit
A 120 page manual on how to draft a made to measure male catsuit.
In this guide I hope to demonstrate the steps we can take to draw up our own made to measure catsuit pattern. These steps include the drafting of the one-piece body block, the skintight sleeve and leggings block. It also includes how we may modify our drawings for better types of fit for the buttocks, the crotch, fuller bellies, etc how we may refine the fit or simplify the use of seams, how we might alter things for personal stylistic touches. This is not a technical manual on how to incorporate zippers or how to apply glue or piece seams. All this kind of information can be found in more technical manuals such as Working with Latex or the Compendium of Rubber Garment Making. This manual is about producing a catsuit pattern and how we may customise it, tidy our drafts up and convert them into pattern templates ready for when we want to construct our catsuit.
The first edition of this manual was called the Concise Version. This has now been withdrawn. The new edition is a complete rewrite and now includes an extra 77 pages. Not only do I believe the pattern drafting instructions to be clearer but also the pattern they produce more refined than previously. The manual was also called concise because there was no deviation from the patterns on offer other than to produce a separate crotch section or raglan sleeve. From this only around 6 different types of catsuits could be produced. This new edition should now offer up the opportunity to produce near any style you desire before then breaking into the female catsuit styles, inflatables or the more involved and complex varieties which are rarely found offered by rubber garment manufacturers beyond private customised work.
While this is no longer a concise version it still follows the same kind of format. Taking measurements, reducing certain measurements for a skintight garment, drawing the body sections, the legs, working the body and leg sections to produce different styles of catsuit and types of fit, adding a collar, drawing the sleeves, stylistic alterations we might make and finally converting our drawings into a working pattern which can be used to make the actual garment. It therefore follows a series of logical steps such as for example we don’t draft the sleeves before we draft the body and leg sections hence the sleeves are towards the end of the manual rather than at the beginning.
