So this is nitpicky but this post is about Pidge's shirt and cosplaying. I see alot of cosplay shirts that are 11/10 awesome but don't fit in the right areas or does not match that person's proportions. Unlike most people want you to believe everyone is proportioned differently; I have high hips ( and low hopes) and my sister has bigger shoulders etc. So I have some pictures of Pidge (they're crappy screenshots I know). One thing I see in Pidge cosplay shirts is people not separating the sleeve from the rest of the shirt, just one big piece. I think making them separate pieces that matches your shoulder really matters to the way the shirt fits overall. When you raise your arms you don't want it to look baggy. In the pictures above you can see Pidge's shirt has the shirt and sleeves separate pieces that are sewn together which gives a tighter fit. I have gathered so many, so so many, screenshots of Pidge for my cosplay references and one thing I've noticed is that the shirt is actually pretty fitted. It's not as baggy as most cosplayers make it. Also not as short eighter. I have two pictures of my own sleeves, the black shirt is a more fitted shirt where the sleeve is closer to my arm and body and the white shirt is how I normally wear my shirts. Who can really see the difference if you follow my skinny little arm line. Anyway on to the proportions. I've done a little diagram thing where I drew lines in important body areas. Pidge's collar bone, shoulder bone (not the edge of the shoulder but the little pointy guy on top), elbow, chest area (nipple zone), waist (smallest part), belly button, hips, and the blue in the wrist. [These are all approximations based on my years of figure drawing] Then I did my own picture (my waist and belly button is actually about an inch higher than that line, also I'm not standing straight so it distorts my proportions a bit). So based on my personal proportions is where the little green areas will go as well as the bottom of the shirt which I folded into the correct position. You can use this guide to help make individual patterns for yourself and to get the best fit for you if adjusting a pattern. [**Works with all body types** use Your proportions and line the pieces up in the same areas as Pidge] Notes: -Pidge's shirt is fitted well in the arm pit zone where the sleeves are sewn in -at the elbow of their sleeve it tapers out a bit -at their waist it tapers out a bit - the bottom of their shirt is about 2 inches above their wrist give or take -the bottom green square lines up mostly with their belly button -the edge of the green on the front lines up with their nipple zone -the green on their sleeve is around 3 inches from their elbow and around 2.5 inches longer then the one on the front of the shirt -the sides of the grey strip lines up mostly with their collar bone (As well as the top inside edge of that square) -that grey square is like at the top of the sternum (the circley bit called the manubrium - the square rests on top of that) -orange cuff is about 2 inches Also I marked where the knee and ankle is for shorts and shoes reference. ~ Thanks for reading I hope this helps and again this works for all body types, line the green lines up with Your belly button and Your nipple zone so it looks good for You. I'll make another post on their shorts, hair, shoes, and glasses another time too. Google the sternum and manubrium if you don't know where that is
