Been having issues right now with my fursuit sleeves falling down my arms and bunching up. Should I use something like clips or suspenders.. or something to help keep them up?
This is for a partial by the way.
You could try a pair of elastic or adjustable arm bands. Get the fursuit sleeves snug around your upper arms and then pull your shirt sleeves down over the bands. I don't know how high up your sleeves go, but that seems like a fairly simple solution. :\
Elastic works very well. My sleeves have a circle of elastic around the top of the sleeves. Sewn in. Stays on with no problem :3
Elastic does work great, but if you want something even easier, grab a pair of sport socks.
Cut about 6" of the ribbing off each sock and sew to the top of your sleeves. That's the method I used when making my 3/4 length paws, and I've never had an issue keeping them in place. ^.~
So I'm guessing, just go to some fabric store, look for a ring of elastic, sew it into the top of each sleeve, and then bobs my uncle?
You're not really going to find a ring of elastic at a fabric store. You will have to pick up a package of elastic (I'd suggest at least an inch wide, and you can get packs of elastic at department stores as well as fabric stores) and either sew it directly into the fabric at the top of your sleeves with a stretch stitch, or make a pocket for it.
I'd still vote socks though, personally. Quicker, easier, and very easy to conceal beneath the sleeves of a shirt.
Agreed with Bloodredruby on the elastic :3
Dollar Giant....buck a pack....just not too tight or you'll be cutting off the circulation in your arms...pins and needles are no fun...
Any pictures of your suit somewhere? Hard to visualize what you mean without seeing it.
Have a spare body for sale as well...plain black, best for shorter slimmer person, short pile, brand new.
Made it for Romeo, and never used it...went with longer fur.
