    CTVT Bodysuit problem

    Hey yunz all. Got a prob that I hope someone has a cure to. I put a CTVT body suit on a Doc Mego body. (I was saving the Doc Body for just this custom.) The bodysuit got stretched out from me trying to get it on the Body. The suit has fabric paint on it for the chacactors costume. So my question is can these body suit be shrunk by washing and will the fabric paint survive?

            Update!!!

            So here is what I'm talking about!


            It's kind of a Scooby-Doo version of Vampirella. Tried to make it as PG as possible (But not this PG!!!) The suit looks totally Hobo in how baggy it is. I know the Mego's have a baggy/loose look in their uniforms. But this just looks sloppy. I initially put the suit on a cardboard silloute and marked out the design with fabric pencil. I then applied " TULIP Slick Dimensional fabric paint" freehand to get the costume edges. As you can see. The costume edge is a little too thick. I will probably never do freehand like this again. I filled in the rest of the outfit by brush.


            Another slightly different angle. I should have taken a shot from the back to show how I had to repossition the snap and bunch up and sew all the excess fabric together. This all got stretched out when I first applied the suit to the body. I had to cut the feet out of the suit just to get it on.
            So to wrap ot up. Seeing the custom does anyone know or can figure out a way this custom can be saved without involving a major overhaul?
