Catsuits and Zentai

Catsuits and Zetai becomes more and more popular among youth recent years, it is more wear in parties and during holidays, like Halloween. But what is the difference between Catsuits and Zentai, what material or fabric is used in manufacturing a catsuit or zetai. The following is a brief introduction and i would like to share with my friends on Facebook.
Catsuits

A catsuit is a close-fitting one-piece garment that covers the torso and the legs, and frequently the arms.They are usually made from stretchable material, such as lycra, chiffon, spandex (after 1959), leather, latex, PVC, or velour, and frequently close using a zipper at the front or back.
Catsuits, which date from at least the 1940s, can be worn by both men and women, and, despite the name, do not generally have feline characteristics.
Who and when wears it
Catsuits were occasionally worn as a high fashion item at various times from the 1960s to the 1990s. During the 1970s and 1980s they were worn for aerobics and disco dancing. Around 1980 disco dance catsuits briefly became a street fashion item in the UK.
Athletes in sports are also wears it but it was specifically geared to the needs of the sport involved.
On stage, unitards and bodysuits worn by dancers, circus performers, pop singers and magicians are similar to catsuits

Zentai

A zentai is a fetish garment, usually made of spandex, being a catsuit with both feet gloves and a hood which totally encloses the wearer. The name zentai comes from the Japanese word for "whole body".
Zentai (from the Japanese ゼンタイ) is a term for skin-tight garments that cover the entire body. The word is a contraction of zenshin taitsu (全身タイツ) ("full-body tights"). Zentai is most commonly made using nylon/spandex blends, but other materials such as cotton and wool are used as well.
The obvious difference between Catsuits and Zentai:
Catsuits usually do not cover the whole body, whole Zentai covers the whole body. Catsuits usually have eye openings, mouth openings, face openings, sleeves openings, legs openings, and can be made with/without hoods or masks. On the contrary, Zentai does not. However, most manufacturer can make most of the zentai according to buyers needs, like openings, zipper styles and so on.
Material or Fabric:
lycra, chiffon, spandex (after 1959), leather, latex, PVC, or velour
Lycra is the mostly used material for zentai, it is light, thin,  elastic. Zentai made of this material can not be made with openlings due to the features of the material.
Chiffon: rearly used in making zentai, but often used in making wedding dresses, prom dresses and daily dresses. It is light, thin, a little transparent, but can not be streched too hard.
spandex also known as Lycra, there is slight difference but it is very close to lycra.
Leather: all kinds of leather.
Latex: It is very like the material used for making balloon, but A little thicker than that. It is light, elastic. It is the most expensive material for making Zentai and catsuits.

PVC: It is a leather-like material. Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated PVC, is a thermoplastic polymer. It is a vinyl polymer constructed of repeating vinyl groups (ethenyls) having one hydrogen replaced by chloride. It usually used for making catsuits but not zentai.
Velour: It is light, elastic and almost transparent. It is usually used for zentai but not catsuits.
Price:
The main factor that decides the price of a catsuit and zentai is the material that used and their quality. Other factors that may affect the price are color or color pattern of the material, zipper, custom-made or not, zipper.
Many industrialized country like United States, Germany, Japan have manufacturer making good quality catsuits and zentai but very expensive. So many online shopping website becomes the best choice if you want to buy catsuit and zentai at cheap price. On shopping  website can also privide custom-made service and make a pefect fit one if you provide your measurements.
