Drag Bodysuit FAQs
What’s the difference between a bodysuit, catsuit, and jumpsuit?
A bodysuit covers the torso and sometimes sleeves but usually stops at the hips or upper thigh. A catsuit is a full-body version — long sleeves and legs, often skin-tight for a sleek silhouette. Jumpsuits can vary in fit and flair but generally cover the full body and are looser than catsuits. All of these are included in this category and drafted specifically for drag performance and movement.
What size should I choose for a bodysuit or catsuit?
Our bodysuit and catsuit patterns are drafted for drag queen proportions, including longer torsos and broader shoulders. These designs are intended to fit snugly for a sleek, performance-ready silhouette. We recommend testing your size using inexpensive stretch fabric first. Many performers choose to size down by one or two sizes for a tighter fit, depending on their fabric and comfort level.
How are these patterns different from standard women's sewing patterns?
Katkow bodysuit and catsuit patterns are drafted for drag queen bodies. That means longer torsos, wider shoulders, and a more theatrical fit. These patterns are made to stretch, move, and cinch where needed — perfect for performance looks.
What fabric should I use for bodysuits or catsuits?
We recommend stretch fabrics like spandex, lycra, stretch mesh, or holographic knits. Choose a fabric with 2-way or 4-way stretch for comfort and flexibility, especially if you’ll be dancing or performing.
Can I customize these patterns?
Absolutely. These are great bases for cutouts, mesh insets, fringe, rhinestones, dramatic sleeves, or built-in accessories.
