A practical guide to designing and building animal-character costumes

Adam Riggs organizes mascot and fursuit creation as a hands-on craft process, covering character design, costume construction, materials, and performance considerations. Step-by-step examples are supported by photographs, author-made drawings, and diagrams, giving the book a strongly visual reference component alongside its written instructions. Resource and supplier lists, a glossary, and a bibliography extend its usefulness beyond a single project, while the discussion of building methods leaves room for different approaches to custom costume work. The scope runs from planning an animal character through fabrication and wearing it in performance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Makers planning a custom mascot costume or fursuit
  • Sewers and costume builders seeking visual construction guidance
  • Costumers interested in animal-character design and performance
