>>  From the LA Times: "leotards are back, baby."

Paper Magazine is featuring a new label focusing on overalls.

American Apparel has a whole section devoted to one-pieces. 

Even Urban Outfitters has a couple of bodysuits on the market.

Not to mention I've seen more one-piece bathing suits popping up than usual.

Now you tell me -- is the one-piece back?  I think so, for better or for worse.  But the question remains to be seen: will this be a mass-produced trend like the gypsy skirts of last summer?  I don't foresee it happening  -- I don't know many people excited to see this trend.  But I have seen some cute retro rompers out there that would be great for beach coverups, and I have been thinking for a while about getting a sexy low-backed leotard from a local ballet store to wear under a skirt.  The bodysuits, though?  A little much for me personally.
