Lace by LJ Plus Size Lace Up Suspender Bodystocking Review

The good and the bad

What works

• Cut specifically for sizes 14 to 18, not a standard size stretched to fit
• Lace-up front adds an adjustable, statement focal point
• Soft nylon and spandex blend stretches to hug and flatter curves
• Open crotch design is practical and easy to wear
• No batteries or charging, so nothing to maintain beyond washing

What to be aware of

• Delicate net and lace are prone to snags and pulls
• Hand wash only, with no ironing or tumble drying allowed
• One-size cut means fit at the extremes of 14 to 18 may vary

Buy it if

Anyone who wears a UK 14 to 18 and wants a dramatic, curve-celebrating piece for the bedroom, a boudoir shoot, or layering over lingerie. The lace-up front makes it a good choice if you like a focal detail rather than plain net.

Skip it if

If you want everyday, hard-wearing lingerie you can machine wash without a second thought, look elsewhere. Those outside the 14 to 18 range should choose a bodystocking cut for their size, as one-size net pieces flatter best within their stated band.

Design And Materials

The appeal here is the combination of intricate lace and net patterning with a lace-up front. That front detail is the piece's signature: it adds structure and a point of interest, and because it laces, it gives a little scope to adjust how snug the fit sits across the torso.

The fabric is 95% nylon and 5% spandex, a classic bodystocking blend. That small amount of spandex is what lets a one-size garment stretch to cover a genuine size range, while the nylon carries the lace and net pattern. The open crotch design is standard for the category and makes the piece more practical to wear.

Fit And Sizing

This is cut for UK sizes 14 to 18, which is a meaningful distinction from generic one-size bodystockings that assume a smaller frame. The generous stretch is designed to move with the bust, waist and hips rather than flatten them.

A point worth being realistic about: any one-size garment covering three dress sizes will fit a size 14 differently from a size 18. If you sit at either end of the range, expect the fabric to feel either more relaxed or more taut than someone in the middle. The lace-up front helps here, since it offers a degree of give across the front of the body.

Care And Longevity

Delicate net and lace reward gentle treatment, and the care instructions confirm it: hand wash only, no ironing, no tumble drying and no bleach. This is not a garment to throw in with the weekly wash.

To get the longest life, wash by hand in cool water, reshape while damp, and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat. Fine net is always vulnerable to snags from rings, nails and rough surfaces, so handle it slowly when putting it on. Treated well, it will hold its shape and pattern; treated carelessly, net of this kind ladders easily.

How It Compares

Against plain net bodystockings, the lace-up front is what sets this apart, giving a more considered, dressed-up look that photographs well and layers nicely over other lingerie. That makes it a natural pick for a boudoir shoot or a special occasion rather than a plain everyday layer.

Compared with structured shapewear or firmer bodysuits, this offers no real support or control; it is about the visual effect and the flattering cling, not sculpting. If support is your priority, a different style is the better call.

The bottom line

For a curvier figure in the 14 to 18 range, this is a flattering, dramatic bodystocking whose lace-up front lifts it above plain net. Buy it if you want a statement piece for the bedroom or the camera and are happy to hand wash and handle it with care; skip it if you need something robust and low-maintenance.
