A corset-body (aka bodysuit or bunnysuit) is a like a laced and boned leotard. It may be either overbust or underbust, but it extends down over the crotch area. These pieces give ultimate lower-tummy control; that said, they are not the most convenient or practical of clothing, particularly if the crotch doesn’t have hooks or snaps to open (if you own one of these pieces, be sure to leave yourself lots of time to go to the restroom!)

Nevertheless, they make a stunning addition to one’s collection and they reflect a certain mastery in patterning by the corsetiere. Shown here is the dark Amethyst bodysuit made by none other than JemCorsets, who has made more corset bodysuits than any other modern corsetiere I can think of.

NOTE: We are nearly at the end of my 1-year Ebay page experiment. Sadly it did not perform as well as I had hoped. We will slowly start winding down activity on this page, just cleaning up expired listings and perhaps adding new listings once a month instead of weekly.
