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”.
