If a material takes the form of a body once applied is it a garment?

To answer this question I have been researching body paint. Paint as a stand-alone form has no relation to garments, although does have a connection with fashion as paint colors are constantly changing and evolving depending on customer preferences. Once applied to the body paint can cover the skin- much like a garment, and in some cases can be peeled off leaving a 3d object quite like a piece of clothing.









Now I am going to experiment and do some primary research .....
