Leotard in final fabric

I manufactured the shoulder seams into place first so that all pieces except for the sleeves were together to begin with.

 

Here is a front view of the leotard after the side seams were put together, I am really happy with the fit of this so far.

 

Side seam.  As I am going to have to attach a sleeve later I will have to use the on the round method.

 

I originally wanted there to be a zip along the CB as a design feature but due to the nature of the fabric this isn't very practical as it bubbles as you can see here.  I have decided to completely scrap the zip as its not necessary anyway and cut the back panel on the fold, removing a CB seam completely.

I think it looks much better without the zip and I actually prefer it to my original design as it looks an awful lot neater.
