Straight answers to the most common fishnet bodystocking questions—sizing, layering, rhinestone care, and how to keep the stretch intact.
Quick answer
Choose your usual size for a close, stretchy fit, layer under or over simple pieces to control coverage, and hand-wash rhinestone styles inside out to protect the shine.
Why fishnet feels different from solid lingerie
Fishnet is an open knit, so it stretches more than solid fabric but also reveals more. That means fit is less about hiding and more about where the knit sits on your body. A bodystocking that feels tight at first often relaxes once it warms to your shape, while one that bagged at the ankles will stay loose.
When layering is the wrong move
Layering adds coverage, but it also adds bulk and friction. If you plan to wear a fishnet bodystocking under tight clothing, a smooth base layer can prevent the net from catching, yet too many layers can distort the pattern. For rhinestone styles, avoid rough textures underneath that can snag the stones.
Fishnet bodystocking questions, answered
- How do I choose the right size?
- Start with your usual clothing size. Fishnet stretches, so if you are between sizes, size down for a closer fit or up if you prefer less compression. Check the size chart for height and weight ranges when available.
- How do I put it on without tearing it?
- Roll the bodystocking down to the toe like a stocking, insert one foot, then gently work it up your leg. Repeat on the other side before pulling it over your torso. Keep nails smooth and remove rings to avoid snags.
- Can I wear it under clothes?
- Yes, but choose smooth fabrics underneath to reduce friction. A fishnet bodystocking can add texture under a slip dress or an open shirt, but avoid rough seams or Velcro that can catch the net.
- How do I layer for more coverage?
- Wear a solid bodysuit or bralette and high-waist briefs underneath, or pair it with an oversized blazer or skirt on top. The open knit means the layers you choose will show through, so pick colors intentionally.
- How should I wash a rhinestone bodystocking?
- Hand-wash in cold water with mild detergent, then rinse gently. Do not wring or twist. Roll in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Turn inside out before washing to protect the stones.
- Can I machine-wash fishnet?
- Machine washing increases the risk of snags and stone loss. If you must, use a mesh lingerie bag on a delicate cycle with cold water and no spin. Still, hand-washing is safer for rhinestone styles.
- How do I store it to prevent snags?
- Fold the bodystocking loosely and store it in a separate lingerie bag or drawer away from hooks, zippers, and Velcro. Avoid hanging it, as the weight can stretch the fishnet over time.
