I worked for the past 5 hours making my bodysuit connected, and the thigh padding turned out better than I could have hoped. You can see a test padding sticking out from the bottom of the zipper.

I went for a dropped crotch this time with wider haunches this time, and it turned out amazing so far. I need to make butt padding still, and I need to tweak the bottom of the legs to make them thinner and less baggy.
