Like the DS9/NEM duty jumpsuit, aside from the yoke and sleeves, the body of the cadet jumpsuit was comprised of eight panels (four front, four back).
The zipper/front opening marked the center front of the jumpsuit, and there were two side front body seams:
The front and center back body panel seams' placements were also determined by the quilt lines, either aligning with one or a mid-quilt line (getting the picture yet?)

The jumpsuit's back body was similarly structured, but we'll take a look at that shortly.
The body panels were continuous pieces from the bottom of the yoke to the bottom of the pant legs; there was no horizontal seam at the waistline or anywhere else.
As with the DS9/NEM duty jumpsuit, the front closed via an invisible zipper, with the top left free and a hook-and-eye closure to hide the zipper's pull tab, therefore creating an entirely concealed front closure.
Although rare, sometimes, if you know to look for it, you can see a slight "dip" on the front where the closure tension is transitioned from the zipper to the hook-and-eye.
Also as with the DS9/NEM duty jumpsuit, the front zipper/opening was supported with a facing, which further helped to conceal the zipper and other construction elements (such as seam allowances) whenever the front opening/yoke occasionally rolled open.
Impressions of the facing were occasionally visible on the outside of the garment:
