Cotton lycra, or…

The liner was of swimsuit lining, a stretchy beige nylon tricot used to line white swimsuits (which become transparent when wet). Any color will do provided it is lighter than your exterior color (but not too much lighter). Cotton lycra would be better than what we used but was making itself scarce in our area at the time, also we were trying to think “thin” for the inner bodysuit. All of the padding was stitched to the inner suit. After we reached the proportions we desired, then we sewed the exterior furs in place. The exterior pieces were also based on the bodysuit pattern but enlarged (obviously). While the inner suit was sewn on machine, almost all the rest was done by hand.

Other suggestions under the suit;
- tshirt and shorts
- unitard
- bodysuit
- others?
