Firstly apologies for yet another outfit related post this week. I know they are boring and unimaginitive but I had to share my experience of A Body Suit.
I am the Black Milk Guinea Pig, the Fashion Test Dummy. James and I talk design, zips, studs and PVC on a fairly regular basis and naturally I am always thrilled to try out his wares. For research purposes you understand.
When he was talking about creating body suits we talked about necklines, exaggerated shoulders, poppers and details. I also said that unless a bodysuit had a high neckline I wouldn't wear one as I didn't feel I had the figure, or more specifically the boobage, to carry off a low cut bodysuit.
He went off and created a low-cut, strappy body suit and it looked amazing. But I still wasn't convinced. Then he created a long sleeved one with ruched side details and a centre sheer panel. Still low cut so still not for me....until he sent me one.
I tentatively took it out and poked at it for a bit, silently admiring the beautiful softness of the fabric. After pondering it for a while I wiggled myself into it and to my amazement I didn't look half as awful as I had expected I would. I simultanously cursed and blessed him for being right. I expected it to pinch, to give me a wedgie, to give me VPL, to give me all manner of unpleasant things bodysuits normally give me, yet no. It's like wearing a cloud. A tight, sexy cloud!

I pulled on some jeans, put on my Margiela boots, some chunky jewellery and a studded belt and actually felt really confident and comfortable in it.
I am not blessed with a curvacious, hour-glass body, but rather cursed with a long pelvic area and narrow hips, so I added the studded belt around my hips to add a bit of width lest I look like a boy. However, the curved ruched panels do give the illusion of curves which, for me, is a welcome bonus. How did he know to do this? If I didn't know better I'd say James was actually a girl!
