Ariane

The Ariane bodysuit is straightforward and stylish; it can be layered and paired with just about any garment. For functionality, Ariane includes crotch snaps and a fully lined bra cup; to which you can add support by inserting underwire or elastic into the seam allowances. Not only is Ariane functional, it is versatile.

Sew Ariane up in a medium weight jersey and pair it with jeans for a casual, sporty summer outfit. Layer the same Ariane under a loosely woven sweater and pencil skirt and you have an outfit that is perfect for the office or going out with friends. For a sexy undergarment, sew Ariane up in a stretch lace or mesh. Try sewing Ariane in a swimsuit fabric to create a classic and functional one-piece swimsuit.
