Full details

The Ann Summers Shade Body in Black, size 22, is designed for the fashion-forward adult female who wants to integrate lingerie-inspired pieces into their outerwear. Its key benefit is its versatility, allowing for bold styling both inside and outside the bedroom. A potential caveat is the specific fit and material, which may require careful consideration for comfort and integration into outfits. This body features a high neck, PU material with mesh panelling, wired cups, popper fastening at the neck, body-contouring panelling, and a Brazilian cut bum with a mesh back.

FAQs

What does 'PU' material mean?

PU stands for Polyurethane, which is a type of synthetic leather. It gives the garment a sleek, faux-leather appearance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Ann Summers sizing guide. For this specific body, X Large fits UK sizes 20-22, and XX Large fits UK sizes 22-24. It's recommended to choose based on your measurements.

Can this be worn comfortably all day as outerwear?

The comfort for all-day wear as outerwear depends on individual preference and the materials worn underneath. The PU material is less breathable than fabric, so it might be best suited for shorter durations or specific occasions.

What is a Brazilian cut bum?

A Brazilian cut offers moderate coverage at the back, sitting between a standard bikini cut and a thong, designed to be flattering and provide a cheeky look.

Are the cups underwired?

Yes, the Shade Body features wired cups for added support and shape.

Can I machine wash this body?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the Shade Body only in cold water to preserve the material and delicate panels.

What should I wear under the body?

As outerwear, you can wear seamless underwear if desired. As intimate wear, it can be worn on its own or with matching lingerie pieces.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Ann Summers size guide. For size 22, consider if the XX Large (22-24) might offer more comfort if you are at the upper end of the sizing range.

PU material is creasing

Avoid folding the garment tightly. Store it flat or on a padded hanger. If creases appear, hang in a steamy bathroom for a short period, but do not iron.

Mesh panelling feels delicate

Handle with care, especially when fastening or unfastening. Avoid snagging the mesh on jewellery or rough surfaces.
