Planning is key

"To conquer fear you must become fear, you must bask in the fear of other men, and men fear most what they cannot see." – Ra's Al Ghul

 

So, the first step of course in planning out a DIY costume, is to measure the body measurements.  Most people look at you like you're some kind of monster if you even ask them one measurement.  I'm doing 44.

Actually, this hasn't been the most horrific experience in my lifetime.  I've been getting back into my ab-focused circuit for the past few weeks so I was pretty confident of the results from a measurement.  However, the process is still a little daunting, and I'm not even sure I'd actually end up needing all of the measures.

For what it's worth, I'll never have to worry about picking up a piece of measuring tape ever again.
