They make sequin dot fabric. ^_^ It's much more simple than you think and it comes in about every color under the sun. I used it here in Scarlet Sprite:
It might be common sense, but if you want to use this fabric, line, line, line! Be very confident in your lining and turning skills if you want to work with this!
It is very thin and very scratchy!
Here's an image ( I stole) to show you what it looks like on the bolt like you would find it in a fabric store:
Ooo shiny! I love looking at this stuff. It makes me wanna do all the costumes!

I'm curious, do those lenses have a hole in the center to let in more oxygen? Since they're not corrective lenses, it should be possible.
Maka:
Thanks! I've seen that stuff in stores but I didn't know that was the kind you used.
Also, circle lenses don't have a hole. The pupil is just clear material.

That's an interesting question! I don't think any lenses are designed that way. I just imagine them being a nightmare to put in. If a lack of oxygen to one's eyes is a concern, (and it should be!) there are preventative steps one should take when wearing circle/cosmetic lenses.
-Don't wear them for too long (5 hours is usually my max)
-Definitely do not fall asleep in them
-Hydrate with eyedrops
-Stay away from heat (like grills)
-Don't swim in them

Yes, I think it's what everyone uses! Good luck to you if you decide to make something!
Soft cottons make a good lining for this material. It seems a bit see-through so you want to pick something lighter or about the same color to line it with!
I can't repeat enough...this stuff is REAL itchy. Even in my Haruka cosplay the part of my arm touching my vest was a bit itchy.
altuixde:
Fascinating. I had a classmate who said that he never takes his contact lenses out, and he was a swimmer too! I've never used contact lenses, of any kind; I use glasses instead. But then again, my vision is actually pretty good so I hardly ever need them. Maybe I'll get contacts if when my vision gets worse. I can't imagine ever wearing circle lenses, though, but they do look good on cosplayers. ^^
