What is a "body"?

A body, also known as a bodysuit, is a one-piece garment that covers the torso and has openings for the legs and sometimes the arms. It typically fastens at the crotch with snaps, hooks, or buttons. The body can be made from various materials, including cotton, spandex, and lace. It is a versatile garment that can be worn as a layering piece or on its own as a top. Some styles of bodies have a thong or bikini cut bottom, while others have a full-coverage brief. The body comes in various designs, including long-sleeved, short-sleeved, off-the-shoulder, and backless, making it suitable for different occasions and personal styles.
