Often, on fursuits, arms end too short because the duct tape dummy is made with straight arms. To get the correct length of arms, you need to measure when its angled and on the outside of the elbow. I do have people include that in their measurements.

Seems to me, the best DTD is one made when the person has their elbows out arms bent all the way in while squatting. This ensure that the joints are flexed as much as possible. Thus, the pattern while have plenty of allowance for movement.

It’s times like this that I’m really, really grateful that both my mom and grandma can sew and both have good sewing machines. Gonna be a lifesaver when I start sewing my fur together. My mom knowing how to sew and make quilts also means she has an appreciation for stuff like this that takes a lot of time and effort, so she’s rlly supportive. (Plus she can help me if I need help sewing lol)
