XtoysLace by LJ Fishnet Open Cup Crotchless Bodystocking Review
Editor's opinion
This is a confident, revealing bodystocking that puts the wearer on show rather than covering up. It suits anyone within roughly UK 6 to 12 who wants a statement piece with minimal fuss, but the one-size fit and hand-wash-only nylon mean it will suit some bodies and routines better than others.
The Lace by LJ Fishnet Open Cup Crotchless Bodystocking is unapologetic about what it is. A single sheer fishnet piece with an open-cup top and open crotch, held up by a halter neck, it is built to frame rather than conceal. There is no coyness in the design brief here, and that clarity is part of its appeal.
What a buyer really needs to weigh is fit and practicality. One-size stretch garments cover a range but not everyone within it equally, the open-cup construction only works if the proportions land where they are meant to, and a fine nylon mesh asks for gentle handling. None of that is a flaw, but it does shape who this is for.
The good and the bad
What works
- Bold open-cup and open-crotch design that needs no styling to make an impact
- Stretchy 95% nylon, 5% spandex fishnet moulds to the figure and recovers its shape
- Halter neck helps it stay put without constant adjustment
- No batteries or charging, so it is ready whenever you are
- Works either as the main piece or layered under something looser
What to be aware of
- One-size cut for UK 6 to 12 will fit some bodies in that range far better than others
- Open-cup framing depends on your proportions and may not sit as intended for every bust
- Fine fishnet is delicate and prone to snags and ladders
- Hand wash only, with no ironing, tumble drying or bleaching
Buy it if
Anyone roughly within UK 6 to 12 who wants a daring, low-effort statement piece and is comfortable with a genuinely revealing cut. It is a good fit for those who already enjoy sheer lingerie and want something bolder.
Skip it if
If you sit at either end of the size range, prefer supportive or shaped cups, or want something that survives the washing machine, look elsewhere. A structured bodysuit or a sized-range bodystocking with cups will serve you better.
Design And Coverage
The whole point of this piece is exposure by design. The open-cup top frames the bust rather than holding or covering it, and the open crotch leaves things unfussy and accessible. The halter neck carries the weight of the garment up and around the neck, which is what keeps the fishnet in position through wear.
Because the cups are open, there is no shaping or lift built in. That means the visual effect depends heavily on your own proportions and where the fabric edges fall. It is worth being realistic about this before buying: it flatters by framing, not by structuring.
Fabric And Fit
The 95% nylon, 5% spandex blend gives the classic fishnet look, sheer and open, with enough spandex to stretch across the body and spring back. That stretch is what allows a single size to span UK 6 to 12.
The honest caveat with any one-size stretch garment is that the fit is a compromise. At the smaller end it may sit looser with wider mesh holes, and at the larger end it will stretch tighter and appear more sheer. Both are wearable, but the effect is not identical across the range, so buyers near the edges should keep expectations in check.
Care And Longevity
Fine fishnet is inherently fragile. The care instructions are clear for good reason: hand wash only, no iron, no tumble dryer and no bleach. Heat and agitation are the enemies of a delicate nylon knit, and a stray fingernail or rough surface can catch a thread.
Treated gently and dried naturally, a piece like this can last well. Rushed through a machine or snagged on jewellery, it can ladder quickly. Anyone buying should plan to look after it deliberately rather than treat it as everyday laundry.
How It Compares
Within the bodystocking category, this sits firmly at the daring end. Fully enclosed or lightly patterned bodystockings offer more coverage and versatility, while cupped versions give some shaping. This one trades all of that for maximum impact and minimal fabric.
If you want a piece that makes an immediate statement and are confident about the fit, it delivers exactly what it promises. If you want something more forgiving to wear, more supportive or more durable through washing, a sized or cupped alternative is the safer choice.
The bottom line
The Lace by LJ Fishnet Open Cup Crotchless Bodystocking is a straightforward, bold piece that does one thing well: it frames and reveals with almost no fabric. Recommended for confident wearers around UK 6 to 12 who understand the one-size compromise and are happy to hand wash a delicate mesh. Anyone wanting support, wider sizing or low-maintenance care should choose differently.
Frequently asked questions
Will one size really fit UK 6 to 12?
The stretchy nylon and spandex blend is designed to span that range, but the fit is a compromise rather than a tailored one. It will sit looser toward UK 6 and stretch tighter and more sheer toward UK 12, so those at either extreme should set their expectations accordingly.
Does the open-cup top offer any support?
No. The open-cup design frames the bust rather than holding or lifting it, so there is no shaping built in. How it looks depends largely on your own proportions and where the fabric edges fall.
Can I put it in the washing machine?
No. The care instructions specify hand wash only, with no ironing, tumble drying or bleaching. Fine fishnet is delicate, and gentle washing plus natural drying is the best way to preserve the stretch and finish.
Is it likely to snag or ladder?
Fine fishnet is prone to catching, so yes, it can ladder if snagged on nails, jewellery or rough surfaces. Handling it carefully when putting it on and taking it off will reduce the risk.
Can it be worn under other clothing?
Yes. It is designed to work either on its own as a statement piece or layered beneath something looser, thanks to the close-fitting, sheer fishnet that follows the figure.
