CATSUIT

The catsuit is interesting: Look at it on the catwalk ; Look at it moulding to the body ; Like a bodice and skirt/trousers- The nature of the attachment from the bodice to the trousers is important. In the image in the previous blog, you can almost see the zip go down to the crotch area here in the picture above (go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catsuit where you can see a full image of this jpeg) ;

This shows up the nature of the catsuit - it seems to be unlike any other garment; What other garment could allow for a zip going to crotch level ; What other garment is there where the link or attachment from the bodice area to the leg area so important- is this what makes the catsuit?
Not really- look at the back of the catssuit on the other side- there is no real link from bodice to leg area- it was the model's pose in the left side picture that made it look that way; there just seems to be a high leg- almost to waist area and beyond.

What we want in a catsuit is the shape of the body. This may be what a catsuit is. It is a second skin and it aims to follow the shape and curves of the body. This catsuit in the images has an true seamless link from leg to high thigh to waist. You can almost imagine too the leg area going to the waist area see a stretch line going from the waist point down to the crotch area.
Then in the second side- is there a zip , invisible or such going from the collar down to the buttocks and under. What other garment would have this but maybe it's just a stretch line.

Maybe it would be of design interest for a catsuit to have a zip?
