This emerald green ensemble consists of a long-sleeved bodysuit with attached straight-leg trousers, creating a seamless silhouette. The machine-knitted viscose fabric clings to the body's contours while maintaining structure. The top features a high neckline with a front zipper closure and long sleeves that extend to the wrists. A narrow leather belt cinches the natural waist, creating definition in the streamlined silhouette. The trousers are fitted through the hips and thighs, tapering to a straight leg that extends to the ankles. This one-piece construction exemplifies 1980s body-conscious design, eliminating traditional garment separations in favor of a continuous, sculptural form that emphasizes the wearer's physique.
