So I decided to sew in the zipper just for grins because I thought that the problem might be just that Jesse wasnt lining things up right when he was trying to hold the fabric closed. Anyway when I did that and tried it on it fit great! I am going to need a longer zipper though and I think I want to get one that comes completly appart because the one I have stays closed at the end when unzipped. Still Im not sure if I want to just procede as planned now, or if I want to practice a bit more first. As of right now Im fairly confident that my design is going to work, but damn vinal isn't cheap.

Its amazing how much extra you need to add to patterns for 'ease'. 3" would probably have been better, don't forget you will still want to be able to move and breathe when you wear the costume!! The thing that always tripped me up was calculating in the seam allowances. Sometimes I'd forget to multiply by 2 and just add in one seam allowance. Things would be too small. But it looks like you are on the right track. Really good work. I love the little maquettes too. Maybe you should make some out of fabric to have miniatures of you costumes!!
