vinyl fabric backing

Posted by guest on: Aug 20th 2004 2:15:44 pm

Posted by Stephanie on: May 3rd 2010 12:22:41 am

I\'m looking to make a catsuit for a costume, and I was considering 4 way stretch pvc, because I want it to be fairly shiny but mostly I want it to fit tightly. Someone told me that PVC peels in high friction areas :( I will be...
