Lots of spandex and a serger? [Thankfully she doesn't tear the suit badly very often, but the claws of a certain monster won out. She pulls her suit out the rest of the way, fully displaying it in its full white and black glory, but she focuses on the tears in the white shoulder.]
I can handstitch the small details, but the big seams do better with a serger. So they don't pull and tear so easily.
[Since she does a lot of movement in this thing. The seams need to be strong. Thankfully, she danced before becoming Spider-Woman, so she's long been used to moving in tight spandex.]
[Luckily there is a serger, though it's out of the way to discourage people who don't know how to use it from messing it up. That thing had been tough to get hold of here in Aldrip! And so is spandex; considering what the town had been like until the town hall explosion, most of Kotone's fabric leans toward what one might generally call "vintage."]
I have some! I dunno about lots. You'll probably have to dye or bleach it to get the color you want.
[Taking a skipping step backward, Kotone gestures to the room at large with a bright smile, apparently completely unbothered by the sight of the suit itself. Like, she met Peter right after he arrived, so her bar for "weird outfits" is on the floor. Plus, she generally just kind of lets things go, even if they're strange.]
I'm still working on reorganizing, but look around and take what you need!
[But cheerfully nosy as always, she adds,] You designed it yourself?
Wow... that seems like it would be tough. I only make basic stuff! Knit rabbits and felt bags and stuff like that.
["I only make basic stuff," she says, and yet she's outfitted an entire club to make sure people can sew. Still, she's smiling the whole time; it doesn't seem like she's being self-deprecating, but rather just stating a fact.]
Do you make other kinds of clothes, too? Or just your suit? I tried making gloves once, but it was really hard.
It...was definitely a learning curve, that's for sure.
[Seriously, she went through several stages before it became what it is now. It took time, learning to make something so advanced. A hoodie and skimask just couldn't work forever.]
Um. Not really? But honestly, after making this? It can't be that hard. Also, I could, uh-- teach you some tricks. For gloves, I mean. If you wanted.
[Since gloves were integral to the suit, she definitely learned fast how to do those correctly. They were still annoying as hell to make, but she had it down. Mostly.]

[It would mean redoing a few parts, but most of it was made where it was easy to replace parts when torn or otherwise damaged.]
Okay, cool. Thanks.
[Don't mind if she does just that, starting to skim the room, checking out the different fabrics and colors.]
Yeah, actually-- I did. It's gone through some changes since I first designed it, but I'm pretty happy with how it looks now.
