A Question about Inflatables

I am interested in making my own inflation videos for my own collection and wanted to take it a step beyond chubsuits and get something that can inflate underneath clothing. I am particularly interested in the effect achieved in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical. 

In case you somehow aren't aware of it Violet wears what seems like a thing pair of tracksuit pants seemingly of legging material but loose like pants. They inflate nice and tight over the prop then go back to their normal looking selves for the next performance. If anyone knows what material that may be please enlighten me. 

It looks like this

Anyway I want to know what sort of inflatable I would need to buy to achieve this effect. Her arms and torso slightly inflate but I really want to get the inflated through and butt effect. I am aware this is most likely a custom prop but if someone can point me in the direction of a supplier that could accommodate that that would be amazing. 

Price isn't an object since my ultimate goal is to drop 1k on the blueberry ball (sigh) but to have a mid inflation lower half effect would be amazing to put an actress in the middle of Central Park in haha. Cheers!

The first thing that came into my mind was a weather-balloon. But i aint kniw if you can make a suit out of it

Meby you can ask a actress or producer of taylormade-clips. In some clips they use a blue plastic/latex suit for a blueberry inflation. Meby they sell props of it of can tip you were they buy them. 

Meby you can buy those inflateble sumo suits. But those arnt much ball shaped. But they can function as the firt parts of your inflation scene.

I wish you well with making your videos. Meby your views grow bigger as your body can ;)

And boom goes the inflatee
