XtoysLace by LJ Fence Net Long Sleeved Thong Bodysuit Review
Editor's opinion
This is a confident fence net bodysuit with long sleeves and a high-cut thong back, best suited to anyone who already knows they like statement lingerie. The one-size cut and delicate open weave are the main things to consider before buying.
The Lace by LJ Fence Net Long Sleeved Thong Bodysuit is built around a bold, open fence net weave that runs across the whole piece. It is pitched two ways: as intimate lingerie in its own right, and as a striking layer under a jacket or dress for a night out.
That dual purpose is genuinely part of the appeal, but it also means a buyer should think about how they actually want to wear it. The wide-gauge net, the high-cut thong back and the one-size fit all shape who this will and won't suit, so it pays to be honest with yourself about the look you are after.
The good and the bad
What works
- Long sleeves and high-cut back create a sleek, coordinated silhouette
- Open fence net gives a genuinely bold, statement look
- Nylon and spandex blend has natural stretch and recovery
- Versatile enough to wear alone or layer under an outfit
- No batteries or charging to think about
What to be aware of
- One-size cut only covers UK 6-12, so it won't suit everyone
- Open fence net is delicate and snags easily
- Hand wash only, with no tumble drying or ironing
- High-cut thong back is a strong style choice, not for everyone
Buy it if
Anyone who enjoys bold, high-impact lingerie and wants a piece that doubles as a layering item for going out. It suits those comfortably within the UK 6-12 range who like a high-cut thong silhouette.
Skip it if
Those outside the size 6-12 band, or anyone who prefers fuller coverage and low-maintenance fabrics. If you want everyday comfort, look to a soft jersey or lace bodysuit with adjustable straps and a fuller back instead.
Design and fit
The defining feature here is the fence net weave, an open, wide-gauge mesh that creates the peek-a-boo effect across the entire garment. Combined with long sleeves and a high-cut thong back, it is designed to draw the eye and lengthen the line of the body rather than to conceal.
The one-size design is cut to fit UK 6 to 12, relying on the stretch of the fabric to adapt. That is a fairly broad band, but it does mean the fit will read tighter towards the top of the range and looser at the bottom. If you sit at either extreme, or want a precise, tailored fit, a graded-size piece will serve you better.
Fabric and feel
The blend is 95% nylon with 5% spandex. That small amount of elastane is what gives the piece its stretch and recovery, helping it hug the figure and spring back into shape through wear.
The trade-off with any open fence net is durability. A wide, loose weave has more to catch on rings, nails and rough surfaces, so this is a piece to handle gently, particularly when pulling it on over the long sleeves. Treated with a bit of care it should hold its shape, but it is not built to be thrown on carelessly.
Care and practicality
The care instructions are clear and worth taking seriously: hand wash only, no machine wash, no tumble drying, no ironing and no bleach. For a delicate net garment this is exactly what you would expect, but it does mean a little ongoing effort.
In practice, plan to wash it gently by hand and let it air dry flat or on a line away from direct heat. This preserves both the stretch and the open weave. If low-maintenance laundry matters to you, factor that in before buying.
How it compares
Within the teddies and bodies category, this sits firmly at the bold, statement end rather than the everyday one. A fence net weave is a stronger, more graphic look than the fine fishnet or lace bodysuits many people start with, so it tends to appeal to buyers who already know they like that aesthetic.
The long sleeves are a genuine point of difference, giving a more finished, coordinated silhouette and making it more credible as a layering piece under a jacket or sheer top. If you want something softer or with more coverage, a lace or jersey style with a fuller back and adjustable straps is the more forgiving alternative.
The bottom line
If you like bold, high-impact lingerie and fall within UK 6-12, this fence net bodysuit is a versatile way to make a statement, on its own or layered under an outfit. Just go in knowing that the open weave needs careful handling, the care is hand-wash only, and the one-size high-cut fit is a definite style commitment rather than a safe all-rounder.
Frequently asked questions
What size does this bodysuit fit?
It is a one-size design cut to fit UK sizes 6 to 12, relying on the stretch of the nylon and spandex blend to adapt. It is likely to feel tighter towards the top of that range and looser at the bottom, so those at either extreme may prefer a graded-size piece.
Can I wear it as outerwear or only as lingerie?
It is designed to work both ways. The long sleeves and open weave make it a credible layer under a jacket, dress or sheer top for a night out, as well as intimate lingerie worn on its own.
How should I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron or bleach it. Wash gently and air dry away from direct heat to protect the stretch and the open weave over time.
Is the fence net fabric prone to snagging?
Any open, wide-gauge net has more to catch on rings, nails and rough surfaces, so it should be handled with care, particularly when pulling it on over the sleeves. Gentle handling will help it last.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. This is a fabric garment with no electronic components, so there is nothing to power, charge or replace.
