Bodysuit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In clothing, a bodysuit or body is a form-fitting garment that covers the torso; it often has sleeves and snaps at the crotch. Bodysuits may be worn as a top for the smooth line it gives or because it cannot become untucked from one's trousers or skirt. They may also be worn by girls and women as lingerie, underwear, or foundation garments. Unlike the similar leotard, a bodysuit is not a form of athletic wear.

Azzedine Alaia and Donna Karan helped make the bodysuit a defining item of eighties fashion.

Onesies (or snapsuits) are bodysuits for younger children and toddlers.

There are also Bodyshirts, like the counter part to the bodysuit, they a loose fitting garment that covers the whole torso, with sleeves in short to long lenghts and crotch snaps. The differance is that they look like a shirt on the top portion of the garment, and may have a differant stretch fabric in the waist to the crotch area to make them fit better.
