Today, I went to a taylor to get all measurements needed for a taylor-made catsuit. I told him, that I needed the measurements for a bicycle racing suit (which is fairly close to a catsuit except for the ankle/foot part, which goes over the shoes). There are a couple of things I would have done wrong, so it was a good decision to ask a taylor. He didn't ask for a payment, so I asked, and he charged me 5 Euro, good investment. I haven't decided yet, I have two options and both aren't exactly cheap:
Latex catsuit in many fancy colours, 0.4mm thickness, 130 to 150 Euro, the shop is here: http://www.private-clothing.de/
Vinyl catsuit from PUL (http://www.pvc-u-like.com/store/showitem.asp?id=800), about 225 Euro, plus shipment. The website says 110 Euro, but there is a surcharge for the special fabric and another surcharge of 30 pound for the special size.
I know latex and I know the vinyl coated fabric from PUL, I like them both.
I know PUL from a few purchases and they are very professional and reliable. I do not know the latex maker at all, but he was fast and precise on his answers by email.
One point for the vinyl catsuit.
In principle I like latex if it doesn't smell too strong (not the ammoniac smell which fades after a while anyway) and I am quite sure, it would be an extraordinary feeling to have a suit. For pure fetish reasons, I would probably prefer a latex suit over the vinyl suit.
Two points for latex.
The vinyl suit might be "useful" in public, under the pretext of low cw on the bicycle, I might actually be able to wear it during training rides.
One point for the vinyl catsuit.
Latex needs thorough care, especially after sweating in it. I often lack the opportunity for cleaning and I have seen latex rot in my wardrobe.
One point for the vinyl catsuit again, which doesn't have this weakness.
The latex suit is much cheaper than the vinyl suit.
One point for the latex suit.
The vinyl suit got 3 points
The latex suit got 3 points
I could not find any other criteria yet, so I am stuck.
Ok, another subject on this subject:
The idea of a catsuit is unisex, the designs are not, there are distinct differences between male and female designs. The male ones are longer, have wider shoulders and the waist line is usually at the top of the hip bones. The female ones have the hip line right at the end of the rib cage. Women have breasts. The crotch area of both designs must be slightly different. Of course, arm and leg width vary too, but that would be taken care of by the individual size. I want a mix of both: Reasonable crotch design, high and narrow waist and overall as skintight as possible. Optionally, I would like to use silicon breasts, so the chest area must not be too tight. I wonder if someone else has tried to get that and what were the results.
