WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
One of the pieces people keep coming back for, and the reason is the neckline. A high round neck with deep cutaway armholes gives you a clean, covered front and bare shoulders, which is a combination almost nothing else in your wardrobe does. The thong back means no line across your hip under a skirt or trousers. Snap buttons at the gusset so you are not undressing completely every time you take a bathroom break.
THE FABRIC
Soft, stretchy and very light, knitted in one piece rather than cut and sewn, so there is nothing running down your sides. It moves with you and goes straight back to shape. A note on the lighter colours: like any single-layer body-hugging piece, they can be slightly sheer, so take that into account when you are choosing your colours.
THE FIT
Close to the body, high at the neck, cut high on the leg with a thong back. Single layer with no padding and no built-in support, so it follows your natural shape rather than changing it. If you want coverage at the bust, the cutaway armholes mean a strapless or bonded bra, a sticky bra or pasties will work better than a regular bra. True to size.
THE FEELING
Under a blazer with wide-leg trousers. With a midi skirt and gold hoops. With jeans and nothing else. It is the piece you build an outfit on top of, and the one that means you never have to think about whether your top has come untucked.
