Leg Avenue Women's Bodysuit

Product Information

While not for everybody, this bodysuit works exceptionally well for women with larger chests. Our editor, who finds it near-impossible to find shapewear that accommodates her DD+ breasts, loved this piece the most out of all the ones she tested. The cup and band measurements make it easier to find your exact fit, too. Unfortunately, trips to the restroom will require some extra effort because there are no clasps or openings at the gusset for easy access. You will be required to undress from the top down to use the bathroom. Because you select your size based on your bust, anyone with a fuller bottom will notice the fabric feels a bit too constrictive around the thigh openings. It left marks on our thighs and felt less comfortable than other bodysuits we tried. On the other hand, the lace portion never seemed to bother us and looked rather chic as a going-out shirt when combined with a nude bra. Otherwise, the bra portion is completely sheer, and while it does have an underwire for support, it does not provide coverage to the nipples. When we want something with a little more contouring power, we turn to the SuperPower Short from Honeylove. With targeted, level three compression around the waist , these tummy control shorts provide some intense shaping on the body. While wearing these shorts, we noticed suctioning just about everywhere, but the tummy-controlling properties were particularly brought to life through the criss-cross bandaging around our midsection. Combined with the side boning, it really created an hourglass figure and cinched in the waist. The mesh is also very strong on the legs, despite looking deceivingly sheer, and helped smooth out our hip dips impressively. Our entire torso, hips, and butt area were expertly sculpted.

What We Love: The support around your chest is fantastic, and the crotch portion has a clasp closure, rather than a clip closure. When putting together your outfit, we applaud any attempts to go ‘avant-garde.’ Fashion requires experimentation and confidence, which not a lot of dressers have.

The support through the stomach band was an ideal amount—it had a nice smoothing appearance without feeling like we were wrapped in a sausage casing. The rip-resistant fabric also earned a 4.9/5 for durability. We tried nails, velcro, and jewelry and there wasn’t a tear in sight. A pair of these will last you many seasons, making the price tag worth it. The size chart is a little confusing at first but we found that it was accurate if you follow the height and weight guidelines. At a compression level of one, these high-waisted shorts are an excellent choice for smoothing, rather than tightening, and evening out the body to create one sleek line from waist to legs. Made of lightweight and breathable materials, like nylon and spandex, we felt comfortable keeping them on for an entire day without ever feeling restricted (or overheated, for that matter). They slide on like any other shorts, then remain in place throughout the whole day. The anti-slip silicone strip around the waist also helps the material stay put, but we noticed that it never rubbed or tugged at our skin. It did, however, leave a few creases on the waist after removal.

Some examples include biker shorts Princess Diana style, 90s workout guru, and the collared shirt athleisure aesthetic. If you want to achieve all three OOTDS, it’s important to find a simple, monochrome bodysuit. Everything about the Wolford 3W Stretch-Cotton Bodysuit impressed us from the stretch to the feel to the aesthetics. The ultra-soft cotton and elastane blend truly feels like a second skin, so much so that we felt like we could easily sleep in it and wake up with no markings. Much like the Skims option, it doesn’t feel too restrictive, but it does come with stronger compression in the midsection accentuating our curves and smoothing our tummy a little more. We still consider this to be a level two compression, though, because it does not fully alter your shape, but it feels firmer than a level one. It’s easy to forget that these biker shorts are even on once you pull them on. They come with a minimal compression level — we couldn’t decide if they were more a level one or two —making them inviting for everyday use. The fabric itself feels lightweight and breathable. And while the brand describes the pair as “non-shaping”, we were pleasantly surprised to find it kindly molds our body shape and held in our thighs and midsection with gentle support. It worked its magic discreetly, though, disappearing underneath our clothes, and it never left a mark on our body after we took it off for the day.

Size guide

The matching skirt provides that fit-and-flare shape, which is great if you want to achieve an hourglass figure. This ‘how to wear a bodysuit’ guide highly recommends topping the look off with a pair of chunky sandals. If you’re looking for a contouring effect, however, we recommend going for an option with a little more tightness around the stomach. This one simply guides the natural curve of your body but doesn’t do much tugging around your waist. The bulk that came with everyday dress didn’t relate to the modernization of English society at the time, as women demanded more practical clothes. What We Love: They have very minimal contouring effect, and can be worn daily for some smoothing effect.

Boyshort undies: Bodysuits are best worn with thongs, Brazilian briefs, and bikini underwear. Anything that offers additional coverage will result in a bizarre silhouette when paired with one-pieces. Design is another factor worth considering. Ultimately, you don’t want to settle for a one-piece that’s hard to style. Instead, trendsetters should invest in a bodysuit that’s traditional in silhouette and monochrome in color. The versatility, practicality, and comfort were unequivocally unmatched compared to other notable garments at the time, which led to further re-takes of the bodysuit. It feels much less firm than many other bodysuits on this list with only a compression level of one. But it did even out our skin enough to give us an overall sleek look, sans bumps and ripples. We found it very easy to slip in and out of, with a snap closure for easy access as well when going to the bathroom. Is it fair to say that this bodysuit ranks high in sex appeal? Featuring a criss-cross design with a peak-a-boo cut-out on the chest, this daring one-piece is strictly reserved for special occasions.

OOPS!

The unbuttoned method: We’re fully aware of the uncomfortable nature of wedgies and camel toe. If you’re adamant about not buttoning your bodysuit, be prepared to wear a belt to prevent the gusset from riding up.
