Cylon Undersuit by paarexcellence
If you are considering a screen accurate Cylon undersuit as others have said on here you can't go wrong with the undersuit made by paarexcellence. Cordula is a seamstress in Germany and my order is her 9th suit she's made so far. It is expensive but when you see the degree of craftsmanship put in you'll see why. It's certainly not for everyones budget but for those seeking screen accuracy this is the way to go.
She starts off making a simple fabric undersuit that she'll send you to try on and take pictures of to get the fit right. From there she'll make the suit. I have a few fit issues with the final suit but returned the piece to her and she adjusted it. Incredible customer service. I first contract her on March 20th for the suit and had it on May 4th. The adjustments made took less than a week and I received the final suit on June 17th.
Here is the final suit, I have my upgrade boots on that still need to be painted.
From the back.
Side views.
Detail views.
And the crazy Cylon Centurion woman behind this...
The nylon suit is a stretchy fabric, the patches are a latex material sewn on over a neoprene backer and sewn to the undersuit. I need to add velcro for my shoulder armour and adjust the hooks for the mesh skirt lower as they were placed too high. I may get the neck taken in as its bit loose fitting.
Next Cylon outing i'll be wearing this and update with fully dressed photos.

Wonderful! Great photos!!
The suit looks soooo familiar I love mine she made. Worth the cost as you noted.

Amazing. Great score. How long was the wait for the build? Awesome idea for the shoulder straps.

Re: Cylon Undersuit by paarexcellence
that is sooo nice, great job with finding someone to do this.
Will have to save up for one of these.
How much was this by the way, thanks.
Just have to say also, great pics and nice to see the face behind the mask, be good to see this all together.

Re: Cylon Undersuit by paarexcellence
It's best to contact her for a price quote as it can vary... If you supply fabric or not, details/items included or excluded, etc. There could conceivably be large differences of dollars for different customers.

Re: Cylon Undersuit by paarexcellence
You looks amazing.
Her suit looks everytime better.
The work with the stretchy fabric and the latex is also not very easy. That is also a point if the price.
The only "bad" thing is the latex, you can't display the suit with your armor. If the latex get to much sun, it will fade from dark grey to "white". But if you need, you can take some latex spray to get rid of it.
Have fun with you suit

Re: Cylon Undersuit by paarexcellence
Are the zippers down the legs considered accurate or is it for convenience?

From what I remember it was accurate.
