Is it if they have to wear diapers?" So that <i>did</i> spit in my soup a <i>little</i> on this one ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit/page/2#post-1887019 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 12:20:39 +0000 unfrumped 1887019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. All the fit issues noted above and VPL for me.<br /> But I like to imagine the problems they solve. One type is the perfect smooth tucked knit T look. Another is silky blouses which always slither out. I have tucked those into pantyhose before. That is much more doable with true high- waisted pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit/page/2#post-1887014 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 11:55:57 +0000 Tanya 1887014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have become quite a fan.&nbsp;&nbsp; This past summer I tried, on a whim, a relatively inexpensive cotton button-down shirt version from Express and was sold.&nbsp;&nbsp; I got it in three colors:&nbsp; white, black, and stripe, and keep wishing they had it in light blue, too.&nbsp; I have a very long torso and having shirts stay tucked in is a nightmare, and bodysuit solves that issue.&nbsp; I have to size-up/go for tall sizes&nbsp; to get enough body length but that is fine.&nbsp; I like the sleek tucked-in look for professional occasions.&nbsp; I don't wear it too often, but when I do, I really like the bodysuit option.&nbsp; I also wear them over my own underwear.&nbsp; I will be sure to check out this silk J Crew version, especially as it comes in tall sizes.</p> <p>There is a small company that specializes in this kind of dressy bodysuits.&nbsp; They keep changing their names, and currently are called Tuxe: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tuxebodywear.com/">https://www.tuxebodywear.com/</a>&nbsp; I have discovered them accidentally a couple of years ago, when I was desperately searching for tops with high necks to hide my surgery scars.&nbsp; I ended up buying a sleeveless version in very light taupe, made of very soft leather (only bodice on the front).&nbsp; I&nbsp; wear it with my taupe suit, and feel great very time I do.&nbsp; I highly recommend them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit/page/2#post-1887008 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 11:27:38 +0000 viva 1887008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh - so many interesting things to think about here! Thank you for all the comments. If bodysuits were big in the 90s I missed them then, because that was my childbearing decade (only two babies, but still, almost 2 years pregnant, and then weight recovery and running around after toddlers). So maybe that's part of my interest. (That Danskin reference was from the 70s and definitely a swimsuit.)</p> <p>I definitely understand the potential for restroom challenges. And also wedgie/VPL/discomfort. I found it really interesting that <b>Greyscale</b> wears her own panties underneath, which made me sigh enormously with relief. I don't see the built-in panty as an advantage, just the sleek tuck-in made possible by the panty. So if I can wear my own and keep it all smooth from behind (and that's the question) it just might work.</p> <p>Thanks for all the comments. I'll definitely check back once they come in and I've tried them. <b>Smittie</b>, we'll see if I love them enough to recommend them. (Do you follow Stylebee? She loves them. Another reason for my interest. That and <b>Greyscale's</b> endorsement of this JC silk one.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit/page/2#post-1886993 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 10:11:05 +0000 Style Fan 1886993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore them in the past and loved them.&nbsp; I can not imagine wearing them now because of the washroom issue.&nbsp; I go to the washroom two or three times more than the average person (I am sure of it because no one else seems to need to go except me!!!!) and doing snaps up would be a pain.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit/page/2#post-1886990 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 10:05:23 +0000 Anonymous 1886990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tops in concept. &nbsp;In practice, I would likely find them hard to deal with in the bathroom. &nbsp;Too many things to get undone. &nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and I'm tall. &nbsp;Finding one piece items like this that actually fit me is far more difficult than it should be. &nbsp;I long ago gave up on one piece bathing suits. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit/page/2#post-1886985 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 09:28:17 +0000 Gigi 1886985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've tried a couple of them, but I have a larger rear end and a smaller bust, and there isn't enough material to get over my rear end--trying to get the snaps together is terribly difficult. I can't go a size up or else they're too big in the bust.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886960 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 07:00:55 +0000 Greyscale 1886960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the 90s I had a very cool gray cotton bodysuit. My college roommate stole it out of the laundry room (to be fair I often left my stuff there for quite a while) -- I saw her wearing it months later. I'm still irked, but hey, she's now one of my oldest friends and we just had a lovely dinner while I was back in Boston.</p> <p>I hadn't worn one since then, until I found the silk one you're discussing. I really do love it. I almost never tuck in shirts, but for professional occasions, it's nice to have that option. It drapes nicely, fits me perfectly, and stays tucked in no matter what I do.</p> <p>I have a very long torso and the silk one is fine on me, on the longer snap setting. But the snaps did irritate me a bit when I wore tight-ish skinnies. Incidentally, if people are curious, the panty portion is nylon. I wear it over my usual thick cotton underpants and it's not nearly as tight as nylons/tights (which I dislike). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886945 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 04:53:55 +0000 cindysmith 1886945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did them in the 90s, and I recall them being rather constricting. They felt too short-waisted and all the snaps in the crotch drove me buggy. No plan s to repeat this trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886926 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 03:59:27 +0000 Mac 1886926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the 90s, tall, long-torsoed, skinny me loved body suits and would by them many sizes larger than I usually wore to accommodate my lengthy mid-section. Now, tall., long-torsoed, size 14 me can’t find any that are both long and big enough to accommodate me... so sitting out this go-round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886896 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 02:03:24 +0000 Zibbets 1886896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked them in the 90's, but unless I find a woven one that fits just right, I'll probably pass.&nbsp;</p> <p>When my girls were fast-growing babies I discovered they sold extender tabs so your toddler could wear her cute onsie a little longer. I didn't buy them then, but I wished they'd been around to make my bodysuits more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886894 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 01:56:33 +0000 deb 1886894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had them in the 70's and hated them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886862 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 01:14:10 +0000 jussie 1886862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could be persuaded by the right one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886861 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 01:12:01 +0000 Windchime 1886861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't.

Hahaha. No. There needs to be enough of a rise not to pull or wedgie. Allow for extra time when using the restroom. Do not wear with tights, too many layers. Yes, I wore these back in my youth and have no good memories of them. Need to be washed or cleaned after each and every wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886817 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 23:59:59 +0000 Sal 1886817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I see Dillards are a US Stockist?</p> <p>US and NZ/Au/UK sizings are different.&nbsp; I think our 10 is your 6 approximately.&nbsp; And sometimes our large is about your medium (sizes are all over the place but based on my experience)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886812 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 23:52:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1886812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have thought about it, but I have a long torso and a sneaking suspicion that most styles will cut into my undercarriage in a very uncomfortable way.

Maybe they were even bodysuits? But they had no snaps, and I definitely wore them in the pool ... anyway, the same very simple design. I LOVE this look - so clean and elegant. Might try your Elle Mac.

I'm so old I can't even remember. They are sleek and chic-looking, but can't imagine fussing with the snaps etc. &nbsp;. Plus, wouldn't you get VPL if the pants are at all &nbsp;fitted? &nbsp;I can't remember why that wasn't an issue back when I wore them though ....I guess they are fairly thin and fine-gauged so show-through wouldn't happen.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886796 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 23:17:46 +0000 Sal 1886796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do, but as lingerie not as a top that is seen.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://ellemacphersonbody.com/collections/lingerie/products/the-body-bodysuit-jetblack">https://ellemacphersonbody.com.....t-jetblack</a></p> <p>I have three of the above (Black, coral, aubergine - aubergine being the least worn).&nbsp; I wear under sheer tops, tops where the straps are seen but I don't want to wear a strapless bra, gapey tops...</p> <p>They are fitted enough to not require a bra... my tops are loose on top of these.</p> <p>I adore them - they mean wearing one piece rather than three (bra, cami, knickers) which makes outfits feel sleeker.&nbsp; I find them comfortable.</p> <p>I would wear one more as a top too if it was the right style, especially for layering under a jacket.&nbsp; Tucking is a challenge for me (too bulky, slips in and out, never sits right) so I see these as appealing.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-bodysuit#post-1886795 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 23:17:30 +0000 Janet 1886795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like that JCrew is offering some that are woven and not skin-tight styles.
