Going out bodysuits for dinners, bars and birthdays

Dinner, theater and the office party

For a dressed-up evening we’d start with velvet. The black velvet bodysuit has a mesh insert across the chest. Round neckline, sleeves to the wrist, and nothing else on show but that panel. We made it for festive dinners, work parties and theater nights. Tuck it into a leather pencil skirt or straight pressed trousers. Go big on the earrings, since the insert already decorates the neckline.

The red velvet one is bolder. It wraps into a deep V and keeps the long sleeves.

One bare shoulder for the bar or a birthday

Much of what we make here is asymmetric. Picture a sleeve down to the wrist on one side and nothing but skin on the other shoulder, in black, red or white. It’s the going out bodysuit that makes plain jeans look planned. Wear high-waisted jeans, a pencil skirt or wide trousers with it. On the open side, hang one long earring and stop there.

Don’t you need a necklace with bare shoulders? Not with the two styles that come with a choker. The black one and the white one both leave the shoulders open and have long sleeves, and the choker takes care of the neck. With the white, we’d put your hair up so the collarbones show.

Under any open shoulder, a strapless bra is the answer.

The quiet two, beige straps and a red turtleneck

Some nights call for less. The beige bodysuit on thin straps has a deep neckline and works under a blazer with black high-waisted trousers, pumps and a fine chain. Our red turtleneck goes the other way. It covers the neck and arms, isn’t see-through, and looks good under a gray coat in winter.

We make each style in XS to XL. For a bodysuit, bust and hips are the two numbers that matter, so check both against the chart. Then compare colors across all our bodysuits, or see the off-shoulder ones and dresses for a night out for the evenings you’d skip the jeans.

Frequently asked questions

How does a going out bodysuit fasten?

With snaps at the bottom, hidden once you’re dressed.

Will it bunch up at the waist?

It shouldn’t. The stretch jersey styles sit tight on the body and don’t gather under a belt, and that’s why you’d choose a bodysuit and not a tucked-in top.

Can I wear one to work first?

Yes. Put a blazer over a one-sleeve style and the asymmetry calms down. Take the blazer off when the workday ends.

What’s the washing routine for velvet?

Reverse it before washing, and don’t go above 30 °C. The pile shouldn’t meet an iron, so steam it from the wrong side.
