Yes, every Wolford product is VERY expensive. However, I've never, really never, found any product made quite as well. I've bought two other Wolford body suits - one finally wore out (undoubtedly my fault for not always washing it on the gentle cycle), but the other is still as good as when I bought it over 20 years ago. So, the $240 this one costs should be thought of as money spent on a timeless bodysuit that will literally last decades.As for the fabric - it feels as though you're wearing nothing at all - it's amazingly soft and it almost glistens. I'm tall and it's not easy to find something that truly fits (most manufacturers seem to think American women are all under 5'5"). The Wolford bodysuit is definitely long enough so when I snap it, there's no pull or discomfort. It can be worn with jeans or as part of an evening outfit. It's truly beautiful! While I am by NO means wealthy, I considered this to be a worthwhile expenditure because i know I'll wear it for many, many years!good buyWie immer ein sehr gute Qualität. Passt genau und sieht super aus. Und hält bei Handwäsche 20 Jahre.Super Qualität, jeden Cent wert. "Quality never goes out of style." Wolford Produkte sollen in jede Damen Gardarobe nicht fehlen!
