Making a MOW suit one piece

[01Hawk]

Can anyone share how they did it ? Just looking for different ideas.

I used a jump suit pattern and have a couple YouTube videos that are time lapses of me doing it. Also Arkady who makes fantastic flight suits has listed her pattern she uses (although she warns that it has been modified by her) hope that helps.

Thanks! I want and Arkady one and have been meaning to order one but for now the wait time is a bit too long for me. Since my build is a Supertrooper the MOW one works fine as it is already white. The drawstring on the pants goes right across my gut when I pull them up to keep the crotch from looking too baggy and then they just work their way down.

Use suspenders under your vest?

They would show since i don't use a girth belt. I do use shirt stays to make sure the shirt stays down.

I've never seen a MOW flightsuit. Could you post a picture of the two pieces?

Thanks,

Here's a picture of the flight suit in question, I use the same one for my own ST and have experienced identical issues, the bunching up of the top section is also very annoying, and difficult to manage. Shirt stays could help a lot, or sewing velcro inside of the top line of the pants and putting matching velcro onto the upper section to keep it in place might work.

Hmmm... since the shirt tucks into the pants, maybe just add snaps or Velcro on the bottom of the shirt and tops of the pants to connect when you put them on.

I put snap in but didn't reinforce the area on the shirt and they ripped thru. The velcro may work but I need to see how high they will be and if the ammo belt will cover it. There isn't a girth belt to hide where the two halves meet on a Supertrooper. Sewing the two halves together would be easy enough in that case I guess.
