All About the Angela Bodysuit

Fabric resources, fitting details, and tutorials to help you build your skills.

Posted in: Patterns • February 28, 2019





Build Your Wardrobe with the Angela Bodysuit

This sleek knit bodysuit features a blouson surplice bodice with fitted panties, creating an effortlessly tucked-in appearance when paired with pants or a skirt.

To get a comfortable fit, elastic stabilizes the bodysuit just below the waist, which makes it perfect for mid and high-rise bottoms. There’s also a snap closure at the crotch and fold-over elastic on the leg openings. Layer this bodysuit with your favorite bottoms for a quick, polished, unfussy look.












Krystal is wearing a size 8 Angela bodysuit graded to a size 10 at the waist and hips. We added 1 1/2” to the rise and 1” to the bicep. Her measurements are 37”, 31”, 41” and she is 5’9”.
