It’s been a while since I put on a leather cat suit, and I honestly can’t remember anything else that’s made me look this good.
This is G08 by Jackie Graves. The sleeveless cat suit features a chunky front zipper opening which offers a deep and flattering neckline. Nipples perk beneath the polished leather, curved seam lines stressing the shape of the body beneath. The material creases beneath the breasts and down to the stomach, the waist folds lying hidden by the large belt - it’s simple and powerful, ridged even to the buckle, and with matching cuffs on the gloves. There are half-ring features to the sides and back, which are purely decorative, although suggestive that the suit might allow for locking…
The zipper stops just shy of the crotch, with comparable elements accenting either thigh to the front. The rear is perfectly moulded, highly shined leather providing critical definition, dropping to tight legs which sit tight to the leg and cover the feet. This works fabulously well with knee high boots. I really love this cat suit because it’s dressy without being totally over the top; the material is extremely well drawn for a great sense of realism - without any of the aggravation that really comes when trying to get in and out of something like this – even as a black garment, this has its own depth and vibrancy that has to be admired.
Since I find it hard to leave a store with only one item, I also selected G21, the Open Suit in silver which is a sexy symphony of latex, leather and metal melded into one. This outfit is set to the neck with a fitted clasp choker, which caps the wonderfully constrictive latex top which glows with its metallic sheen to provide definition both front and back. Long gloves with fastenings cover the arms. The torso is dressed with an under bust corset in thick leather, with seamed panels to exaggerate the hourglass look, a trio of buckles front and back to bridge the split and hold everything in. To the back the thong strap threads to the corset and passes down beneath the crotch and splits to a panty at the front, combining there with the buckled suspenders that support the skin tight thigh highs.
For variation, you can wear this without the latex – there are some black cross pasties provided. The undies can also be removed if you’re feeling so inclined. While there are no add on options in store, a well-made skirt in latex, rubber or leather would probably go very well, although I have to admit that I really love the outfit as it stands.
Designers like Jackie make you glad to be a woman; I almost feel sorry for the guys, but then I remember they can share the glory simply by ogling. Take pity on your fella and pop on over to Graves to take a look at what else is in store: I don’t think either of you will be disappointed.
