The Body Suit was a popular item of clothing in the 1970s. These long-sleeved, fitted stretch turtleneck tops connected between the legs to stay tucked into skirts, slacks, and jumpers.
The Flossie Potter 1970s Body Suit is based on that style. It also features raglan sleeves and a wide, fold-down turtleneck collar (rather than a mock-turtleneck).
The PDF sewing pattern contains 12 pages of full-color step-by-step instructions, 3 pages of summary instructions (to save on printer ink), and 4 pages of full-size pattern pieces.
Pair the Body Suit with the Flossie Potter Hip-Hugger Bell Bottoms or the Genniewren Swirly Pants.
