W5427 Bodysuit - Black Stretch Tulle Long Sleeve High Neck Shoulder Portholes Hook-and-Eye Women's Italian
A Bodysuit in Tulle. Every Detail Intentional.
The W5427 is a stretch tulle bodysuit — 95% polyester, 5% elastane — with long sleeves, a high neck, shoulder portholes, a back button closure, and a hook-and-eye hem. Each detail is a design decision: the portholes cut into the shoulder create a geometric opening in the sheer fabric; the high neck rises while the tulle body remains transparent; the hook-and-eye hem keeps the bodysuit in place with precision. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.
Why This Bodysuit Is Different
- Stretch Tulle Construction: 95% polyester, 5% elastane — an open-mesh fabric with a fine, hexagonal net structure that is simultaneously sheer and structured. The stretch tulle moves with the body, recovers after wear, and sits against the skin without restriction. The entire bodysuit — body, sleeves, and neck — is constructed from the same tulle, creating a consistent transparency throughout.
- Shoulder Portholes: Geometric openings cut into the shoulder area of the tulle — a detail that creates a deliberate interruption in the sheer fabric. The portholes are not decorative; they are a structural design element that adds visual interest to the shoulder line without adding material.
- High Neck: A fitted high neck that rises from the collarbone — adding structure and framing the face while the sheer tulle body falls away below. In a bodysuit, the high neck creates a complete, covered silhouette that is simultaneously transparent.
- Long Sleeves: Full-length sleeves in the same stretch tulle as the body — the arms are covered but visible through the sheer mesh. The long sleeves make the W5427 a complete, head-to-toe sheer layer.
- Back Button Closure: Buttons at the back that keep the front silhouette clean and uninterrupted.
- Hook-and-Eye Hem: A hook-and-eye closure at the hem of the bodysuit that keeps it in place and prevents it from riding up. The precision of the hook-and-eye closure is appropriate for a garment where fit and placement are critical.
- Made in Italy: Construction, shoulder porthole cutting, and finishing all completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On
The tulle covers everything and reveals everything simultaneously. The high neck rises, the long sleeves extend to the wrist, the bodysuit closes at the back and hooks at the hem — and the body beneath is visible through every panel of the sheer mesh. The shoulder portholes are the detail you notice last: geometric openings in the tulle that create a deliberate absence in the fabric at the shoulder line.
The W5427 is a base layer that is also a statement. Worn under a blazer or coat, the tulle is visible at the neck and wrists. Worn alone, it is a complete, considered look that requires intention in what is worn beneath it.
The Art of Stretch Tulle
Tulle is an open-mesh fabric with a fine, hexagonal net structure — originally used in ballet and bridal wear, adopted by avant-garde fashion for its transparency, structure, and unexpected versatility. In stretch form (95% polyester, 5% elastane), the tulle moves with the body and recovers after wear without losing its mesh structure. The polyester content gives the tulle its strength and a subtle sheen; the elastane gives it recovery and comfort against the skin. In a bodysuit construction, the stretch tulle must conform to the body across multiple panels — the W5427 achieves this without distorting the hexagonal mesh structure, which remains consistent across the body, sleeves, and neck.
How to Wear It
- Over a Bra or Bodysuit: Wear over a fitted black bra or bodysuit — the tulle creates a sheer layer over the underlayer, the shoulder portholes and high neck framing the body above.
- Under a Blazer: Wear under an open blazer — the tulle visible at the neck and wrists, the shoulder portholes visible at the shoulder line below the lapels.
- With Wide-Leg Trousers: Tuck into high-waisted wide-leg trousers — the bodysuit stays in place via the hook-and-eye hem, the tulle body visible above the waistband.
- Alone, Statement: Wear alone with a high-waisted skirt or trousers — the transparency is the point. The W5427 worn alone is a deliberate choice about visibility and intention.
Care Instructions
- Hand wash cold or machine wash on delicate cycle — the polyester tulle is durable but requires gentle handling to preserve the mesh structure
- Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve the tulle shape and bodysuit construction
- Do not iron — heat will damage the polyester mesh
- Do not bleach
- Store flat — avoid hanging, which can stretch the tulle mesh over time; avoid folding along the shoulder portholes to prevent distortion
