Dont get fursuit. Expensive, expensive. No idea how much orahier would cost but my sergal was estimated at 5k.
Is that only the mask, or the whole ****ing suit?

Then you're kinda sol unless you're really careful about how you're taping up and cutting the stuff off of yourself; Honestly, I'd just go with a partial as a first fursuit. S'what I did.

IDK, man. I'm prone to lose things, so fewer pieces is better for me. Also, partial suit???

A fursuit with the head, tail, hands, and feet, but no bodysuit.
See, that's out of my skillset. I could probably sew the main suit, but the rest is complicated

I'm relitivly a new furry, so I've never wore suits nor have I gone to conventions and such, but I still think its very interesting.
Same boat, just think it would be fun to make my first suit

Deffffsss a learning process. Had fun making mine but I've been a sewer/craftperson for a while before that.
My only experience thus far is making Regalia for OA ceremonies and Venturing Crew outings. Hence, easy seams and not many sharp turns

Good starting point tho!
If y'ever get curious, its pretty easy to get a hold of some practice fabric and some good thread and needles to just start practicing stitches or doing simple projects~

I know. It's hard finding material appropriate for pre-1840 personas, though... Faux fur is actually quite common (or it was before I discovered my furriness. Now it will probably be like trying to find *yoinking* canvas in a *yoinking* craft store... lol [*yoink!* my life]) around where I live during the summer

ackh.... Makes me feel lucky to have a pretty good range of craft and fabric stores within an hour locally

It's not about the stores, it's about the lack of merchandise variety. I can never find what I need... but not before I need it. And I refuse to hoard fabric, so I only buy what I need when I need it

Can be a bit about the stores (but admittedly not entirely); I've found mom & pop shops have more potential variety and some rarer finds than a chain like say, Joanns, but it isn't always the case. But, yeah imagining tryna be historically accurate, can see how stores wouldn't have stuff for a niche hobby there, and online fabric shopping can be gamey X^o

Definitely not a lizard
Weirdly enough, I tend to find a lot of fabric but no foam in the stores that I visit. And I'm desperatly looking for foam

It's not event that I need to find a type of material... it's the *Yoink!* print! Plenty of floral prints today, but not enough that I would be caught dead in (even if I'm firing a .54 while wearing it)...
You can never find something when you look for it. I really hate it when that happens.
