First Female Entertainer Jumpsuit

Client: PBR Canada

The Challenge

Create a custom PBR Canada jumpsuit from scratch for a female entertainer under the following limitations:

• Using only measurements provided by the client
• Create a garment similar to an example provided by client via pictures
• Creating the jumpsuit in under 1 month without any jumpsuit fittings
• Creating the jumpsuit having no experience in making jumpsuits before

Our Solution

Why It Worked

• Flexible Fabric: Stretchy and durable ripstop fabric allowed the entertainer to move freely and comfortably.

•  Custom Fitment: Developing the jumpsuit using the entertainer's specific measurements rather than a generalized measurement chart resulted in a good fit.

Improvements

Given the short timeline for this project, there were several things we would have done differently:

Garment Fittings: While the jumpsuit fit well, it did fit tighter than we had intended. Having some extra time for fittings would have ensured the jumpsuit fit the exact way we envisioned it.

Name and Logo Placements: Something we did not consider was how the entertainer would be wearing her hair. Had we known she would be wearing her hair down, we would have placed her name and the sponsor logo elsewhere on the jumpsuit to guarantee they were seen. 

Practice and Research: We designed this garment having never made a jumpsuit before. Given that circumstance, this jumpsuit turned out exceptionally well. It could have turned out even better if we had a little more time for practice and research on the subject.
