Hey everyone,

Thinking about making my own jumpsuit with polartec power stretch and was wondering if anyone has some experience with using the material or making a custom undergarment.

Before people jump in and say that it would be easier and more cost effective in the long run to just buy one from a retailer...I love making things and customizing whenever I can. Also, I think it would be a great experience and super fun to make one from scratch. So..

Are there any features on an off the shelf undergarment that you particularly like? Zipper locations, pockets, bands, etc. One thing I was thinking of was attaching feet instead of having separate socks, unless someone thinks that is unwise. I ordered a couple of material swatches from Mill Direct but they didnt have a specific thickness like 200 or 300, so when it comes I will get a better idea of what I'm working with I guess, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!
