unitard

Dancer's second skin

A unitard is a tight-fitting one-piece garment covering the torso and legs, typically worn by dancers, gymnasts, and acrobats.

Unlike a leotard, which leaves the legs bare, a unitard extends to the ankles: She wore a black unitard for the contemporary dance routine.

The garment allows full range of motion while providing coverage and a streamlined silhouette.
