Had someone approach me about making her Garnet's jumpsuit from Final Fantasy.  I agreed and began the planning process.  The costume is fairly simple, white puffy shirt and and orange sleeveless jumpsuit with a lace-up front. 

I began by searching for a pattern to use as a base for the jumpsuit.  From working on Heihachi I had discovered QuikSew's jumpsuit pattern and luckily it was still in print.  It would make a good base for the jumpsuit but would require modification to both the front and removal of the sleeves. 

Because of these modifictaions, I first started by making a muslin version of the pattern.  This would also have the added advantage of giving her something to try on so I could be sure both the cut of the front and fit were correct.  The muslin went together pretty quickly and this is what the final test version looked like.
