Two-piece designs (separate top and skirt/pants) where each element fits independently. Fantasy armor designs that are custom-templated from the body. Corset-style underbust foundations with separate overbust pieces.

Full-body spandex suits (need custom sizing), one-piece fitted bodice designs without separate elements, and any design that relies on compression to fit (implants don't compress like natural tissue).
