FAQs

What material is the Alaia Bodysuit made of?

The main body is made from 96% viscose and 4% elastane. It also features Material II, composed of 82% polyamide and 18% elastane, which includes boning for structure.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to standard UK women's dress sizing. The bodysuit has a significant stretch, but for the most accurate fit, consult a size chart if available or consider your typical fit preference for body-hugging garments.

Can I wear this bodysuit without a bra?

The bodysuit provides a sculpted fit and some support due to its construction and boning. Whether a bra is needed depends on your personal comfort and the support you require. The deep neckline may influence bra choices.

Is the bodysuit suitable for sensitive skin?

The primary material is viscose, which is generally soft. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin, the polyamide blend and boning might be a consideration. It's always recommended to test a small area if you have known sensitivities.

What is the best way to store the bodysuit?

To maintain its shape and prevent creases, it's best to fold the bodysuit gently or hang it on a padded hanger. Avoid overcrowding your closet.

Where is this Alaia bodysuit made?

This garment is proudly made in Italy.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Allow the garment to stretch slightly with gentle wear, as the elastane content provides significant give. Check that the snap closures are fastened correctly without unnecessary strain.

Fabric losing its shape or elasticity

Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid machine washing, high heat drying, or harsh detergents which can degrade the elastane fibers over time. Ensure proper flat drying.

Zipper is difficult to close

Gently check the zipper track for any fabric obstructions. If needed, a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly to the teeth.
