Suggestions for making non-wrinkled suits?

Wovens with stretch tend to do that sort of thing even on people. Look for much thinner fabrics than normal suiting, but with a fine, compact weave (loose weaves will fray too much, not matter how tempting they may be) I have some cotton that I used to make a plaid school skirt in MSD size, it was a summer wieght cotton but the scale makes it look like a woolen weave. A silk (taffeta or similar stiffness) would look crisp, but again look for a thin one. Thats my best advice, look for fine texture before the fiber, try finger pressing a crease while your in the store, if it wont crease, it hasnt got enough body to make a suit. You could also interface more of the suit than you normally would for a person, since your dollfie wont complain ops: Summer wool normally has a thin, tight weave, you could look for some of that.

Hope it helps!

 

>>See how the jacket bags a little? This material was slightly stretchy(made sexy sexy pants tho!), but I didn't like how when I tried to close the jacket like it's supposed to be shut it would get all sorts of weird folds,

A good fitted suit takes a pattern that has been refined for the fit. Most of the shirt and t-short patterns are looser and baggier that what it sounds like you're looking for. Check your basic pattern for fit when it's closed. You may need to flare out the hips a bit and tuck your waist.

Also... you need a crips fabric. The collar area will need a thin interfacings to give extra stiffness without making things too thick. If you find a very thin fabric you really like but it's too soft, you can iron on a featerweight interfacing to crisp up the hand of the fabric.
