So I'd really need some tips on how to make my heads small.
I build on these kind of bases (they're lined and stuff later).

And then come out this size after it's finished:

(They loved their head and everything, they just said it was a bit bigger than expected)
When foaming the head, if I tried making it smaller, it just doesn't look right and if I was making following eyes, they don't fit right on smaller based heads- it would be touching all over your face uncomfortably.
Foamwork of this head:

I personally like doing the heads bigger, and I think it would look better on a fullsuit. But for Partial suiters, the head is a bit big. The head is just larger, it doesn't interfere when your tilting your head and stuff. I do really wish to continue making the heads big like this, but should I have a notice saying they're more fit for fullsuits and they're big? I mean, I've seen some big makers with big heads, though their suits usually come with a fullsuit.
So for more partial suits I'd really like some opinions on how to make them smaller?

For bodysuits- I'm still a learning how to make these before I do any commissions of them.
But with the bodysuit, the pattern keeps coming out tooo baggy.
This is basically the method I'm using after making the duct tape dummy.

I have muslin cloth pretty secure around DTD and make a fake bodysuit. Then I cut the muslin to get the patterns from it. Though how much extra do I need to add around the muslin pattern to fur? Since I do run this through a sewing machine, I usually have the piece that holds down the fur along the fur edge. I believe this last bodysuit I had added an inch around the cut pattern. And since then I have sewn about half an inch back into areas I've already sewn because the bodysuit is still soo baggy on me (like I can push my belly fur together at the front and have my hands in a pray position with the fur between my hands- and I still don't have my fingertips at least touching past the fur)(unless that is normal?). Do I need to actually not add any extra sewing space with this method, or do I need to add a smaller sewing space than an inch? Or what do y'all recommend?

Thank you!
