Leafy Leotard! (Patreon)

Because I HAVE to be extra, this month's spicy shoot will feature a leotard that will be familiar to some of you, that has had over 200 leaves hand sewn into it....because I refuse to hot glue AND this means I can reuse it for other characters...future 18+ performances....who knows XD

I did take the bodysuit in a bit before adding all the leaves based on how it fit last time. The whole process is fairly straightforward; pin the leaves, sew the leaves, rearrange obsessively as you sew, repeat. This did have to be done completely on my dress form to keep everything stretched enough to fit me after the leaves are sewn on. I also had to be strategic around areas that needed to stretch more (straps, leg holes, ect..) and not sew the leaves together so the elastic can still stretch.

This took about.....12 hours? I've got a bit more to go but everything is pinned on. Still deciding on whether to keep the front open areas. Planning to trim away the black stretch mesh after everything is secured for a bit more of a unique shape, thoughts?
