Thoughts: I love Bulma. Whooo doesn’t? She’s such a power house in Dragonball. At the time, I had gotten the first season of Dragonball on DVD and was powering through it on a nostalgia train. I realized I wanted to do something from the first series and ended up deciding on Bulmas bunny suit because I figured it would be easy.
NooOooOOooo. This has become one of my most complex cosplay’s and I think anyone who has tried to tackle the bunny suit can understand.
July 2017: There are plans to re-make this costume (for a third time).
2026: who said that???
You'll notice there are no pattern/material/tutorials for this cosplay. Since bunny suits are so notoriously difficult to create, I feel like providing any one I tried as a recommendation is disingenuous. Creating a suit is dependent on the skillset of the person, the materials, the measurements of the body and your desired outcome. There is no one real one way to do a bunny suit except through trial and error and what works best for your own skillset and workflow. I'm not saying don't try it, but you have to figure out the best method you think could work best. I have done the suit three times already and in the future, there's a possibility I will try again and again. The only thing that will happen is you will gain knowledge through each mock and each trial, so definitely give it a try!

The color on this was pushed much more because it was during a time I was messing around the the settings of my camera. My waist and chest were brought in to try to emphasize for the bunnysuit--something I had a hard time creating in the actual garment (hence why it was later trashed).

Trials for this costume were horrendous. I was honestly unsure of how to go about this since I was inexperienced with something so technical. At first, I ordered a generic bunny suit that I thought I could use as my base. The only thing I kept from that order was the tail, cuffs and ears. The suit idea itself was tossed out once I realized the fabric held no shape and I would need more fabric to even do my plan.
I then tried the duct tape method which produced okay results but I had again used a weak fabric so once the boning was in, it was just a mess. I ripped it up and tried a few more times before throwing that method out.
Then I picked up another tutorial but this time I was stuck on the breast cups. I would always make them too big or too small so it was driving me crazy. Eventually I settled on whatever was done and ended up wearing it to PCC (?????). I liked it but I also didn’t realize what a mess it was.
I still have no patience for channels
"But Lynai, they look great." No they don't, because that's camera manipulation. If I stood up straight, my ladies not secured enough in the suits
Last version before I trashed her again

This website was one of my MAIN go-to's when I was a teen. Meri was basically my idol because not only did she manage such a crazy website (to my eyes--because back then I had a crush on Trunks), but she was also a talented AMV editor. I really loved her beats and would catch her in bigger projects like the DDR Project 4 collab. She's absolutely one, if not the main reason I began to learn how to video edit at an early age
