Bloody incredible. And yes, I’d call this a bodysuit rather than a catsuit. It has the full-length fitted top with shorts-style bottom, so it sits somewhere between a bodysuit and a playsuit, but 80s bodysuit is the clearest listing description.
This is such a brilliant vintage layering piece. Made from super stretchy Lycra, with a seriously cool colour-blocked design in sunshine yellow, crisp white and black.
It’s one of those pieces that looks amazing worn simply on its own, but it would also be bloody brilliant layered under oversized blazers, jackets, shirts or dresses. I’m a size 12 myself and although it isn’t super close-fitting on me, I actually REALLY liked the fit. It has that slightly more relaxed 80s shape rather than being skin-tight.
A proper statement piece and an absolute dream for anyone who likes their vintage a little bit bonkers.
