Teddy lingerie for soft one piece looks

Teddy versus bodysuit

Both are one pieces, but they are built for different moments. A bodysuit fits like a second skin and holds you in. A teddy drapes, with a little movement in the fabric through the body, which looks natural when you lie down or stretch. That makes teddies the better choice for bedroom content and lounging shots, while lace body suits suit standing poses and nights out.

A teddy is also more forgiving to put on: there is less fabric pulling against the shoulders, and the snap gusset makes it quick to change. If you prefer comfort over shaping, a teddy is the better first one piece.

Three teddies, three moods

• The Lace Teddy ($58) has a deep V front, a relaxed fit and a cheeky back, in black, scarlet or white.
• The Satin Plunge Teddy ($62) pairs lace cups with a satin body that glows under warm light, ideal for slow video.
• The Open Back Mesh Teddy ($54) is all about the back view, closing with a single tie.

The open back style is part of our Mirror Selfie Kit on the Creator Ready page.

Black lace is the most versatile of the three, and scarlet lace suits a Valentine's Day night.

Sizing a teddy

Because a teddy is relaxed through the body, size it by your bust and hips rather than your waist. If your bust and hips fall in different sizes, choose the larger one; the excess will drape rather than sag. All three come in XS to 3X, and the snap gusset makes them easy to wear. Our size guide lists every measurement in inches.

Satin shows water marks, so wash it cold, press dry with a towel and never wring it.
