Awesome Annisse! I actually made a little tester strip with some spandex I had at home and found that it is probably best to coat it first and then sew it. I know what you mean about the weave separating a bit but I might just be fine with that. I don't know. I feel like I'd prefer it to still have that stretch with a bit of texture as opposed to very little stretch but super smooth. I guess that's why I was hoping that maybe miliskin is smoother and not as porous as normal spandex so that the latex when stretched wouldn't seem to separate as much. I'd definitely love to see how your fabric came out so I sent a friend request!
I know I should start soon on this costume but I'm just so bogged down by the latex and all those panels to cut out and put together to create the color blocking in the jumpsuit.....I usually work better under stress lol so maybe I'll wait 2 days before the con and just slam it together hahahaha!
I got a test sample of the miliskin from that website awhile ago, it was a nice texture, but felt so flimsy and thin compared to the regular spandex which is what I am using.
Yeah, I work better on pressure too and am doing that now as a matter of fact, trying to finish 4 costumes before SDCC. HA! good luck to me I've done it before and will do it again!!
