Women's bodysuits

The women's bodysuit page holds 5 styles, and it is a mixed section rather than one repeated cut. All 5 mention denim, which makes that the largest single group here. Three styles belong to the Bamboo Body line, and embroidery is recorded on all 5. That is the real shape of the surf bodysuit range at Surf Inc., a short list of one-piece tops with a couple of clear clusters inside it.

Cotton carries this category. The composition figures that appear across the 5 styles are these:

• 95 percent cotton,
• 100 percent cotton,
• 5 percent elastane,
• 100 percent cupro,
• 70 percent modal with 30 percent polyester listed alongside it,
• linen at 50 percent and at 30 percent, and
• 60 percent rayon.

Fabric weight is recorded at 235, 220 and 180. The other styles carry no weight at all. Modal and elastane both appear on some pages, but organic cotton does not, so this is a cotton category with a handful of exceptions rather than a modal or organic-cotton one.

Cut varies more here than material does. Some styles are described as oversize and others as a loose cut, so most of the women's bodysuit range sits closer to the body, but only the individual product page can tell you how close. A product page mentions a ribbed finish and another a lining.

The denim group of five is the part of this page that behaves as a set. Nothing on any product page describes snap fastenings, strap adjustment, flat seams or tag-free construction, so we do not describe them either. Fit questions are answered by the size chart on the product page.

A bodysuit pairs with whatever you put below it. Women's bottoms is the widest starting point, with sweatpants for the everyday version and skirts when you want the waist to show. For layering over the top, look at longsleeves and tees.

If a single fibre brought you here, the cupro page collects the pieces made from it, and this category contributes to it. For other close-cut one-piece shapes, swimwear is the neighbouring page, and women's tops holds the looser alternatives.

What are the bodysuits made of?
Mostly cotton. Some styles list 95 percent cotton, others list 100 percent cotton and others list 5 percent elastane. Cupro, modal, rayon and linen also appear among the styles.

Are they breathable or compressive?
We do not claim either. The styles record fibre content and, on some of them, a fabric weight, and nothing about airflow or compression.

Do you have denim bodysuits?
Yes. Denim is mentioned on all 5, which makes it the largest group in the category.

How heavy is the fabric?
Where a weight is given it is 235, 220 or 180. Some styles carry no weight figure.

Are the bodysuits fitted or loose?
Some styles are described as oversize and others as a loose cut. The rest of the women's bodysuits do not carry a fit description, so read the product page and the size chart.
