Bodysuits, An Overview
Body suits come in short versions like the teddy or full stocking suits from neck to ankles. Basically a body suit is a one piece garment that covers the top of the body and attaches at the crotch or it is a full body stocking with legs as well. And have you wondered what purpose a body suit serves?
A teddy type body suit works well when you want your appearance to be neat and tidy. By having the suit attach so it cannot ride up, the back of the garment does not slip out of your pants or skirt in the same way a camisole does. Also, in cooler weather, the teddy or body suit provides added warmth to the back area. And lastly, for some women, wearing the teddy instead of a separate bra and panties is a sexy alternative.
Another practical purpose of body suits is their use in workouts or exercise programs. Leotards, unitards and thong body suits can be very comfortable when participating in yoga and aerobics classes. They allow the body to stretch and contort without hampering the movement or cutting into the skin.
Moreover, body suits or more specifically body stockings have a fun purpose. Many women wear the alluring lace leg stockings around the home as an alternative to other types of sexy lingerie. Quite a few women have actually indicated that they have worn their body stockings in place of panty hose because of how beautiful the suit legs looked with their skirts or dresses.
With so many styles from which choose, from sexy and erotic with open cups, frilly and lacey to be worn with a delicate blouse, and thick and woolly to be worn in the winter, body suits should be required garments in every woman’s wardrobe. Long sleeves, short sleeves, spaghetti straps, underwire cups, open crotch, snap closures, fishnet legs, charmeuse, satin, wool, cashmere, silk, microfiber and lycra, there is no limit to the styles and fabrics of available body suits, teddies and body stockings.
Unfortunately, the drawback to purchasing a body suit is that many stores do not stock the suits as regular items. Some lingerie stores have a few teddies but for the most part, selection is not very good offline. Two online stores that have excellent selections, however, are BodySuit.com and LegAvenue.com.
