Pilates Fashion- The One-Piece - A Surprising 80's Comeback!

Now I remember wearing these back in the 80's when I was a teenage dance student running around London auditioning for West End Shows! Ease of movement was key as a dancer and unitards ( or catsuits as we called them ) were both cheap and easy to throw on for the day. Now, it seems the unitard has undergone a rather fabulous makeover and become Pilates High Fashion, and I’m finding myself falling in love again with the comfort of wearing one. It’s ideal for exercises where keeping a close eye on your form is imperative – so perfect for Pilates. And the beauty of a good one-piece lies in its coverage: no exposing your midriff and no hitching up leggings after doing roll-ups! I have found a few I like but they vary in price so do shop around. In the picture I am wearing one from Topissima - a Portugese company that makes them from fabric recycled from plastic water bottles. These unitards look great, have built in bra support and they're good for the planet too. They are expensive so worth watching out for their sales, I bought mine half price in a sale last year. The Sports Edit also sell sustainably made unitards like THIS ONE from Girlfriend collective. And they have offered me a 15% discount to pass on so click HERE if you'd like to go shopping and get your own 80's revival one piece.


And if you'd like to drop in and do this workout with me on YouTube just click the title:

You'll need 1kg (2 pound) weights but if you don't have them yet, don't worry, you'll be able to do the entire workout without weights too and still get huge

benefits from it.

All your sustainably sourced outfits are so inspiring Rachel and you look so lovely in them- however I’ve been wrestling with the moral delemia of sustainably , trying to not buy anything new until the ones I’ve already got are worn out . I know it’s not the fun option , but for me it sits well .

Lots of love , 🌻🌻Fiona🌻🌻

Oh I love that Fiona and I completely agree. 🌻 You’ll know as a long time supporter of my channel that I wear the same outfits over and over! I still have the bamboo leggings I wore for my first Seniors session over 5 years ago. Lots of love to you too, Rachel ❤️
