Black Passion catsuit

This BS008 stands out from the start because of its name: here, Passion calls it a catsuit rather than a bodysuit, and the cut is indeed closer to the body than a classic piece from the Eroticline range. The black mesh is made of nylon and elastane, a combination that gives it a dense, highly covering finish despite the transparency inherent to any fishnet fabric. I recommend it to anyone looking for a silhouette defined from the bust down to the legs, without visible seams or a separate piece to coordinate.

Nylon and elastane: the catsuit’s fabric

The nylon used here is a durable synthetic textile, a close relative of the polyamide found in other pieces in the collection, but specifically referred to by this name by Passion for this model. I find it slightly denser to the touch than the fine polyamide used in the other pieces, without sacrificing stretch. Combined with 10% elastane, it gives the mesh the ability to hug the body without losing its shape. Put the catsuit on gradually, pulling the mesh up section by section rather than in one sudden movement, to protect the fibres.

A one-size-fits-all catsuit cut

Unlike a classic bodysuit, the term catsuit emphasizes a close-fitting silhouette from the bust down to the legs. The one-size-fits-all design relies on the stretch of the nylon-elastane fabric to fit different body shapes, but it remains a fitted cut rather than a loose one: if you’re looking for a looser garment or a precise S/M/L size, this model isn’t what you’re after.

Caring for nylon

Nylon is sensitive to direct heat: avoid tumble-drying and ironing the fabric itself. I recommend hand-washing it in lukewarm water, using gentle movements rather than rubbing, then drying it flat so the mesh retains its density. Store the catsuit folded, away from rough fabrics that could snag the fine fibres.

Who is this catsuit for?

This black catsuit is ideal if you like the idea of a dense, close-fitting piece made from a fabric different from the more commonly used polyamide in the range. If you prefer the term and feel of a more classic bodysuit, a lighter colour, or a precisely fitted size, head to the fishnet bodysuit collection to compare the other Passion models.

A friend’s tip — The word catsuit doesn’t change how you care for it: treat this piece as gently as you would a classic fine-knit garment, prioritizing hand-washing and flat drying.
