If we are lucky Don will refuse to bodycast Mike, and the planet will be spared.
That sound interesting...Apart from just normal schedule issues, we've had a really tough time choosing fabric(s) that we like. It's just not as straightforward as you'd think. We've been through varying weights of spandex, leather, stretch lurex, stretch nylon, etc. looking for a good combination of form-fitting, yet substantive, with interesting surface qualities. But I think we're closing in on it... I'll post pics of the various successes and failures soon.

Work continues... this is our 3rd pass at the bodice. The bodice's left side is version 2, which was entirely shiny lurex, and the abdominal seam came to much more of a point at the waist. The bodice's right side is version 3, which has mesh paneling along the obliques, and the abdominal seam is straighter, for a more "ab-like" definition.
I like the idea of combining the mesh material with the shiny lurex. My biggest concern here is that there is no gathering at the seams as much as is possible, so it retains a pseudo-spandex look - very form fitting. This fabric is just being held together with pins, so it's a bit "loose" looking. Also, in this mock-up, where I've added the breast plate in Photoshop, I've also darkened the color of the mesh fabric significantly. The actual fabric is more of a maroon, but it tends to photograph pink. If it photographs pink, it photographs pink, so I'm probably going to ask for mesh material which looks more like the mock-up I've done here.

I'm starting to lose my objectivity.
would it make sense to have a bottom panel on the sides that breaks the direction and follows the curve of the hip - almost like adding the bottom panel from the left side of the bodice?
