"Again we have another one piece variation. That is a perfect example as to what you can do. Given the lines on the body. And given the ability to just let yourself go. Don't have any expectations about what you are going to produce! Just produce it. Just start drawing. It's paper, it's a pencil or a marker, and it's your brain. It doesn't matter! Don't feel like you have to get it right the time. Because, trust me, if that's the way you feel then this is the wrong industry for you to be in. I have spent entire nights doing one outfit. And not slept, and I have spent them trying to perfect one one outfit. And you will go over and over until you make yourself crazy redoing things. And, if you just let it go, you will come up with some of the best stuff. This one I didn't intend to do this design at first, but when I started drawing it just naturally was what flowed out of my hand. And I have a lower; the leg holes are a little bit lower. Because basically you want balance. All the flesh that's showing, you need a balance of a lower leg line. Otherwise it would look kind of primitive Hollywood. If you had it up high, and that's not the look that I was going for. So we have bottom part, and goes up to a point and it gets thinner. But it still flows. There is no harsh line. Then we have the top part. Right here I did a keyhole type thing. That way I can have straps tie around the neck. And attach."
