Leaf Applique Cut Out Bodysuit with Choker and Body Chain

The set counts four pieces: a bodysuit built from 6 to 9 cm leaf appliques stitched onto sheer black mesh, a matching choker, two wrist cuffs and a gold toned body chain. The appliques start at the cups and run as a vertical band down the torso toward the hip. The gusset closes on three snap rows and the straps shorten through rhinestone set adjusters.

Applique Band Placement

These are not lace panels or a printed motif. Each leaf is cut separately and sewn onto the mesh, which is why the ground can be left completely open where the design wants skin and dense where it needs coverage. The band is symmetrical left to right, so aligning the centre line with the navel is all the fitting it needs. A thin wire sits under each cup with no padding, meaning the lift comes entirely from the wire rather than from foam. Across the waist three parallel elastic bands run down with open mesh gaps between them, which lengthens the torso visually. Choker and cuffs are cut from the same leaf template, so the four pieces read as a single design when worn together.

• Leaf appliques measure 6 to 9 cm and are stitched onto mesh
• Three parallel elastic waist bands with open mesh between them
• Thin underwire in each cup, no padding anywhere
• Rhinestone set adjusters shorten the shoulder straps
• Three row snap gusset gives about 2 cm of torso adjustment

Choker and Chain Combinations

Because the set is four pieces it is not locked into one look. Worn complete, the bodysuit, choker and both cuffs go on and the gold chain sits at the waist with nothing else added; the contrast between black applique and gold metal carries the whole image. Layered, a black blazer or a mesh shirt goes over the bodysuit with only the choker kept and the cuffs removed. For a club or themed night, a faux leather mini skirt and heeled boots turn it into something wearable outside. The chain is not sewn to the bodysuit, so it comes off entirely when you want it gone, and crossing it over the chest rather than the waist gives a cleaner line in photographs.

Fit and Cup Alignment

One size is made, sitting on 45 to 68 kg and 155 to 175 cm. Cups align correctly across roughly 32A to 38C; beyond a C cup the applique band rides above the bust and the centre line of the design breaks. A long torso can leave the snap row tight even on its widest setting. Wrist cuffs fit a 14 to 19 cm wrist and the choker adjusts across 30 to 40 cm.

• One size sits on 45 to 68 kg and 155 to 175 cm
• Cup alignment works to about a C cup, then the band rides up
• Wrist cuffs fit 14 to 19 cm, choker adjusts 30 to 40 cm
• Adjustment is limited to straps and snaps, torso width is fixed

Applique and Chain Care

Applique edges are stiff to the touch and a machine cycle damages both the leaves and the mesh underneath. Hand wash at 30 degrees with liquid detergent, squeezing the piece under water instead of rubbing it. Press the water out in a towel and dry flat in shade, since hanging a wet bodysuit stretches the mesh under its own weight. Do not iron: mesh melts and the applique thread goes shiny. Keep the gold chain away from perfume and hairspray, which dull the plating on contact. Store the bodysuit loosely rolled rather than folded, because stacked appliques crush along their edges.
