It might be interesting so I'll share with you the situation involved in making a bodysuit, it is entirely a loss when I commission the suits one at a time. I suppose that because the high quality suit fabric has been found at only one manufacturer so far the production process involves a lot of shipping and logistics. The material has to get shipped from supplier to tailor and then to me, which I then ship to the buyer. The price which I'm selling one suit for is clearly insufficient to cover the 3 international shipping involved not to mention any labour. That is why mass order is the way to go, not exactly to give anyone a huge discount (The suits are already at the huge discount to other suit makers) but just to make it possible for everyone who wants a kigurumi skin toned bodysuit to have one~^_^.
The story of how the HQ bodysuit came about goes like this:
A few kigger friends and myself have always compared our suits at off meets and realised that the colour and durability is limited. The spandex available are just very limited and low quality. So I looked around for some spandex manufacturers and got them to send us a sample of their spandex. After searching long and hard, we thought we have found it and we went ahead and invested on having the first few bodysuits made from this HQ spandex.
Taking the Japanese kigurumi bodysuits as benchmark, our HQ material suits are more opaque, more rubbery and more heavy duty than the Japan made ones. We were not comparing which is better, we still can't decide yet, but we were convinced that our own suit can hold its own against the suits made in Japan. You can actually feel the tightness it exerts all over your body. I found that it is a lot easier to dye than normal lycra and I have been using mine for 2 years without problems now (Apart from some dirty fingers >_<).
