I've been waiting for this feature for so long! It's great, but I hope there will be further development on it - whenever a body slider is at max, clothing that covers that body part gets much thicker, making the edges look clumsy or jut out. Buttons get deformed. Some items also clip into the body:

Mad Men X Killing Eve

An American spy uncovers a plot masterminded by his Soviet counterpart. As the two men match wits, they discover an attraction which is inseparable from their enmity - but the same things which brought them together may destroy them. #DIS #A #HS #D #T #BluePit 📖#Q #LGBT
A series of portraits of two men, one thin and dark, the other heavy and pale. The captions on the thin man read "1929 - 18yo civilian, 1932 - 22 yo OGPU recruit, 1942 - 32 yo NKVD intelligence officer, 1955 - 45 KGB diplomatic cover, 1965 - defector, living w/ Wallace, teaching Russian." The captions on the heavy blond man read "1928 - 18yo Yale journalism student, 1936 - 26yo struggling journalist, 1941 - 31 yo OSS officer recruiting German POWs, 1955 - 45 yo CIA diplomatic cover, torture survivor, 1965, 55yo journalist/writer, living w/ Mirsky."

Mad MenXKilling Eve

Two spies from opposite sides of the Cold War fall in love and devastate the lives of everyone around them in the process. A dark story about the dangers of assimilating to a toxic society, centering queer Jewish & Muslim characters.

Nine images: 50s men in suits with their faces blurred out, the text "I was always ashamed to take. So I gave. It was not a virtue. It was a disguise.", a declassified CIA manual, the CIA logo, the face of a middle-aged, worn-looking white man, sweet tea in the southern style, a pile of james bond books, the text I'M GONNA PROVE YOU ALL WRONG, and an American Flag in black and white Nine images: Russian pulp magazines, a billboard reading SILENCE MEANS SECURITY, a shot from the back of a man in a black trenchcoat, a window reading KGB in Cyrillic, a picture of a middle-aged, balding Middle-Eastern man, burning letters, blackout poetry with a figure next to the words 'full of anxiety,' the text "I do not really know whether I have survived. My inner self has shut itself up more and more. As though to protect itself, it has become inaccessible even to me," and a newspaper article with a picture of a sad-looking man reading books and trapped by the words around him.

Four images: a soviet and American flag smudged and lying on the ground together, two sillhouetted figures close together as if embracing, a typewriter in black and white, a gun in black and white, blackout poetry showing the words "Is this the life we really want?", burning letters, and two shadowy figures sharing the shelter of an umbrella.
