additional notes:
This plugsuit was a huge undertaking! The level of extreme fit made for a very complicated pattern to draft. We would suggest that anyone looking to get a deluxe plugsuit made to order to set the due date for their costume *at least* a month ahead of time to allow for any adjustments that might have to be made. It's just the kind of outfit that requires someone to be able to try it on for a custom fit. It also requires such a specific fit that if you lose or gain as little as 10 lbs. it's not going to fit right. XD

This plugsuit is 'deluxe' quaility and uses 4-way stretch vinyl fabric. The backpack is removable and opens up to store small items inside. The headnodes have barrettes on the bottom so they are detachable from the wig.

We chose to make our own outfits with the inaccuracy of having heels (because we are short!) A plugsuit will be made with flat shoes unless you specifically ask for heels.

Please look at the Shinji outfit in the gallery to see a 'standard' version of a plugsuit. Due to the high level of detail and time needed to make one properly the Standard versions are priced over $800, while the Deluxe versions are over $1,400. Serious inquiries only for these costumes. :)
