          This Amendment No. 5 amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on
September 29, 1994, and as subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on
February 3, 1995, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 4, 1996, Amendment No. 3
filed on June 17, 1996 and Amendment No. 4 filed on October 8, 1996 (as amended,
the "Schedule 13D"), with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of Danskin, Inc. (the "Issuer").  Other than as set forth
herein, there has been no material changes in the information set forth in the
Schedule 13D.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

          This Statement is being filed by SunAmerica Life Insurance Company
("SunAmerica") and SunAmerica Inc., collectively (the "Reporting Persons").

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          The information set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby
amended to read as follows:

          Pursuant to a 1 to 11.99 per share Common Stock dividend paid on
October 30, 1997, 167,640 shares of Common Stock were distributed to SunAmerica
by the Issuer.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

          The information set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          On March 12, 1996, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York entered an order, effective May 1, 1996, terminating,
vacating and annulling the automatic stay of 11 U.S.C. Section 362 in the
chapter 7 involuntary bankruptcy case of Esmark, Inc., Case No. 95-43781 (BRL),
insofar as such automatic stay prohibited or prevented SunAmerica from enforcing
its state law rights and remedies under the Notes Purchase Agreement and Pledge
Agreement and related loan documents, including the foreclosure sale of the
shares of Common Stock in partial satisfaction of Esmark's obligations to
SunAmerica.  Notice of a public foreclosure sale of the shares of Common Stock
(the "Foreclosure Sale") was published in the Wall Street Journal, New York
Times and Womens Wear Daily on May 7, 1996.  On June 7, 1996, the Foreclosure
Sale was conducted at which SunAmerica submitted the highest conforming bid and
purchased the shares of Common Stock, by crediting its bid 

                                         -4-
<PAGE>

against its secured claim, at a price of $3.00 per share for an aggregate
purchase price of $6,030,000.

          On October 4, 1996 SunAmerica and the Issuer entered into a letter
agreement (the "Letter Agreement") pursuant to which the Issuer agreed, among
other things, to increase the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors of the Issuer from eight to ten and include two individuals designated
by SunAmerica to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.  In
turn, SunAmerica agreed to vote all shares which it owned in favor of management
nominees at annual meetings held prior to June 30, 1997.

          On September 22, 1997 the Issuer recapitalized by issuing 2,400 shares
of cumulative convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") with voting
rights entitling each share of Preferred Stock to that number of votes equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock is
convertible, or 16,666.66 votes per share of Preferred Stock (the
"Recapitalization").  The issuance of the Preferred Stock resulted in a
reduction of the percentage of voting securities of the Issuer held by
SunAmerica to approximately 4% of the total outstanding voting securities.  In
conjunction with the Recapitalization, SunAmerica and the Issuer agreed to
terminate the Letter Agreement in September 1997.

          In light of these factors, SunAmerica is evaluating its alternatives
with respect to its holdings of the Common Stock.  SunAmerica's primary
objective with respect to its holdings of the Common Stock is to maximize the
return on its investment.  Subject to applicable legal requirements, SunAmerica
may purchase additional shares of Common Stock from time to time or may dispose
of all or a portion of its shares of Common Stock.  SunAmerica intends to
consider and review various factors on a continuous basis, including the
Issuer's financial condition, business and prospects, other developments
concerning the Issuer, the price and availability of shares of Common Stock,
other investment and business opportunities available to SunAmerica,
developments with respect to SunAmerica's business, and general economic, money
and stock market conditions in managing its investment in the Common Stock.

          Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans
or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to
in paragraphs (b) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons
may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and
formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto, but have no present intention
of doing so.

Item 5.   Interest in the Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

          SunAmerica owns beneficially 1,827,440, or approximately 18.1%, of the
10,088,124 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Issuer in its
10-K filed March 27, 1998.

           SunAmerica Inc., as the parent company of SunAmerica, may be deemed
to beneficially own 1,827,440, or approximately 18.1%, of the 10,088,124 shares
of Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Issuer in its 10-K filed March
27, 1998.  All of such shares are held by SunAmerica.

     Item 5(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

          SunAmerica has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and
dispose or to direct the disposition of 1,827,440 shares of Common Stock.

          SunAmerica Inc., as the parent company of SunAmerica also has the
power to vote or to direct the vote and dispose or to direct the disposition of
all of the shares of Common Stock held by SunAmerica described above.

     Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

The following sales of Common Stock were completed by SunAmerica on the dates
listed below:
