Mara Jade- Black Body Suit (SoulArt for Gen)

[SoulArt]

This will be the beginning of the WIP for Gens Mara bday suit.

I have this costume personally, and have enjoyed making/tweaking the bodysuit pattern to fit and look ok on a body.

 

Gen was in need of help building this for her first approval to 501/RL/TDE/SG, and came to visit me for help. An 11 hour drive to get to me on a whim. SO FUN!

A most amazing weekend together getting to know one another, meet future garrison family and become steps closer to approvals.

 

I’ll finish the suit today, then come back here with the journey, and sewing help and info for anyone wishing to read.

 

Here’s the pic from last night before we left my sewing shack.

 

 

More photos to come , going back first to fabric choices and pattern tweaking to custom fit her body.
