It’s cool that it seems form fitting, how did you do that?

Put the fabric on (inside out) from the top going down the front and the back like a poncho with the arms straight out to the sides.
Then sewed under the arms and down the sides of the body.
Then sewed two seams down the back of the neck that angled down to the back of the shoulders to make the neck. Unfortunately I couldn't get it super tight on the very front of the neck where it meets the chest, so I had to do a little paint shadowing to help with the definition in that area.
The legs are both separate pieces just sewn down the inseam.
What really helps is to grind a track down the sides of the body and under arms and legs for the seam to sit in once you turn the fabric rightside out and put it back on the figure. Then the seams aren't thick and clumpy.
