A unicorn bodysuit for a long torso with NO THONG!

8 replies

PlumpAndDeliciousFatcat · 20/04/2024 12:08

I last wore a bodysuit as a child in the 90s with ski pants but I keep seeing them around and they look so useful.

However, I think I’m hunting for a unicorn. I am very tall (6’) with a long torso, size 16-18 with a large bust. I am not fussy about necklines but my absolute deal-breaker is that I cannot cope with a thong back and so many bodysuits have them. Worse still, many aren’t photographed in a way that makes it clear whether they have a thong. I’m not looking for Skims-style aggressive shape wear but some light control or smoothing would be a bonus.

Where should I be looking?

I’m only on here to find out where you get a unicorn bodysuit! Do you get a horn with it? (Sorry, but first thing I thought when I saw the title…)

I too was wondering why ALL the unicorn bodysuits had thongs. A niche market

I am 5ft7 and have this one https://www.marksandspencer.com/cotton-rich-light-control-body/p/clp60529555?color=WHITE&prevPage=srp#intid=pid_pg1pip28g4r1c1|prodflag_submsg-Responsibly%20sourced%20cotton but I needed to size up a to an 18 am usually 14/16. you could try on if possible.

Thanks @Nitgel but I can't wear anything with 'secret support'. My breasts are too big and I end up with quad boobs.

I also should have said that I'm ideally looking for something with sleeves that can be worn as outerwear.

What about a leotard. When bodies first came out, in the 80s, I wore a plain black swimsuit, which did the trick far better than most of the bodies available and often wore a leotard for a smooth look.

I'm tall with a long body, and my current favourite bodysuit is from ELR elrstyle.com/ who sell extenders to match them which is perfect.
I also have a couple from a company called Pantee which fit well

I really like the look of this one but there is no way of seeing if it has a thong back! https://www.marksandspencer.com/cotton-rich-scoop-back-bodysuit/p/clp22580959?prevPage=srp#intid=pid_pg1pip24g2r3c2|prodflag_Online%20Only

Thanks @CMOTDibbler, I haven’t heard of those but will investigate.

I like the idea @YYURYYUCICYYUR4ME but what about trips to the loo…?
