Black Bodystockings

Fishnet, lace or opaque bodystockings?

Fishnet is the most common style here. Cindylove's range, including The Jennifer, Olivia, Amber and Grace, uses patterned black fishnet, and Leg Avenue makes a plain Fishnet Bodystocking and a Deep V Long Sleeved Fishnet. Lace styles, such as the Music Legs Front Bows Detail Lace and Floral Bodice with Faux Garter and Stockings, give a softer, more decorative look. For more coverage, the Leg Avenue and Music Legs Opaque Suspender Bodystockings have a solid body with a stocking effect on the leg. The Leg Avenue Sheer Long Sleeved Scoop Neck is the plainest sheer option.

How do bodystockings fit?

Bodystockings are made from stretchy nylon or polyamide blends, so they fit close to the body. Most are sold in one size or a small number of sizes that cover a wide range, because the stretch does most of the work. Height matters as much as dress size, since the bodystocking runs from shoulder to toe. The size guide on each product page shows the height and weight range. Some styles have open crotch or cut-out details, which are clearly named on the product. The Pamela Mann Entice Hour Glass Fishnet is cut for a fuller figure.

Can bodystockings be worn as outfits?

Yes. Many people layer bodystockings under shorts, skirts, oversized shirts or dresses for festivals, parties and stage outfits. Long sleeved styles, such as the Music Legs Long Sleeve Paisley, and high-neck designs give more coverage for layering. The Leg Avenue Long Sleeved Opaque Bodysuit and Miss Naughty Mesh Sheer Bodysuit stop at the hip, so they work as tops with skirts or trousers. The Oroblu Lace Net T-Shirt is another layering piece.
