/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm making a vault suit for a friend, and our group is using the "defined vault suit" mod as a reference (see pic related). My plan is to do a mockup in a cheap stretch fabric, draw on where I need all the extra panels to be, then cut it up and use those pieces as a pattern. I'm using a pre-pintucked fabric for the areas with really tiny pintucks (crotch and chest panels). There's a lot of weird detailing on this version, like the darker blue lines on the jumpsuit around the knees and such. My question is: is there a better way to imitate those lines without putting in piping fucking everywhere? I was wondering if I could do a tight zigzag stitch in a darker blue thread instead. Any advice would be appreciated!
