Two bodysuits, two distinct looks
The Maisie and Piper bodysuits share a price point and a penchant for drama, but they solve different style problems. Maisie wraps you in allover embroidery and pearls with a high neckline and full sleeves, while Piper delivers sleek black satin with gold hardware and a keyhole front. Choosing between them comes down to the neckline you prefer, the coverage you want, and how you plan to wear it.
Because both are bodysuits, fit is critical. The catalog gives us some clues about stretch and construction, but not everything. Below, we break down what each record confirms and where you'll need to make your own call.
Neckline and coverage: high and covered vs. open and keyhole
The most obvious difference is at the neckline. Maisie offers a hot high neckline that frames the face and covers the chest, while Piper uses a middle keyhole lined with nude tulle to create a peekaboo effect. Neither is better—they simply suit different moods and layering strategies.
- Maisie Bodysuit: Hot high neckline with allover embroidery on illusion tulle, full sleeves, and a front window feature. The high neck makes it a statement piece on its own, but it can also be layered under a blazer or worn with a bra according to the catalog.
- Piper Bodysuit: Smoothing satin bodice with a middle keyhole lined with nude tulle, plus a gold zip back with hidden e-hook tab. The keyhole adds a focal point without exposing too much, and the satin finish gives a sleek, sculpted look.
What the catalog confirms about each bodysuit
- Maisie Bodysuit: Allover embroidery on illusion tulle with triple pearl pendants and custom-made slides. This gives Maisie a textured, romantic look that stands out on its own—ideal if you want the bodysuit to be the outfit.
Maisie Bodysuit - Maisie Bodysuit: Designed with flex & stretch, including additional stretch in the body and sleeves. Suggests Maisie accommodates movement and curves, which is helpful if you're between sizes or prefer a less rigid fit.
- Piper Bodysuit: Black satin bodice with structured elastics over the torso and layered elastics for a sculpted silhouette. Piper is built to smooth and define, making it a strong choice under clothing or when you want a firm, held-in feel.
Piper Bodysuit - Piper Bodysuit: Gold zip back with hidden e-hook tab and adjustable shoulder straps. Adjustable straps let you fine-tune the fit at the shoulders, while the zip back adds convenience and a hardware detail.
Fabric and construction: lace vs. satin
Maisie is all about texture: stretch crystal tulle through the back, scalloped details, and a classic thong back. The embroidery sits on illusion tulle, so you get a semi-sheer effect that reveals skin underneath. Piper, by contrast, uses smooth satin for the bodice with firm elastic binds that create structure. If you prefer a clean, minimalist look with a bit of edge, Piper's satin and gold hardware deliver that. If you love intricate details and a softer, more romantic feel, Maisie's embroidery and pearls are the draw.
One practical note: both bodysuits have a cotton-lined gusset (Piper: cotton lined gusset; Maisie: satin gusset with a cotton lining), which is a welcome feature for comfort. Neither record includes specific care instructions, so you'll want to follow the general guidance for delicate lingerie—hand wash cold and lay flat to dry—unless the product page states otherwise.
Sizing and fit: what to expect
The catalog shows Maisie available in sizes XXS and XL, while Piper is available in XXS, XS, and S. That's a limited snapshot—not necessarily the full size range—so check the product page for current availability. Because both styles are form-fitting, your usual lingerie size is a reasonable starting point, but pay attention to the stretch notes: Maisie is explicitly designed with flex and stretch in the body and sleeves, which may give you more leeway. Piper's structured elastics and firm binds suggest a more held-in fit, so if you're between sizes, you might consider sizing up for comfort.
The records don't provide measurements like torso length or bust range, so we can't give precise fit predictions. If you're unsure, the safest approach is to order your typical size and check the store's return policy before purchasing.
Styling: when to wear each
Maisie's high neckline and full sleeves make it a natural choice for occasions where you want to feel covered but still sensual. The catalog suggests layering it with a bra or wearing it with pasties, and the thong back keeps it streamlined under clothes. It could work as a statement piece with high-waisted trousers or a skirt, or as lingerie for a special night in.
Piper is described as perfect for festival wear or outerwear, and it's easy to see why: the black satin and gold hardware give it a sleek, edgy vibe that can hold its own as a top. Flash it under a trench coat or wear it with the matching garter belt for a full-body look. The keyhole and zip back add interest without being overly revealing, making it versatile for a night out or a bold layered outfit.
Making the choice
If you want a high-neck, long-sleeve bodysuit with intricate lace and pearl details, and you value stretch for comfort, Maisie is your best bet. If you prefer a smooth satin bodysuit with a keyhole neckline, gold hardware, and a sculpted fit that can double as outerwear, Piper is the one. Both are priced at $105 (regularly $210), so the decision rests on style and fit preferences rather than budget.
Remember that the catalog information is limited on exact measurements and care instructions. When in doubt, consult the product pages for the most up-to-date details and sizing charts. Either way, you're choosing a statement piece that's designed to make you feel confident.
