Lace by LJ Rhinestone Crotchless Bodystocking Review

The good and the bad

What works

• Glass rhinestones give a genuine sparkle that reflects light as you move
• Long sleeves spread the shimmer over the whole silhouette
• Stretchy nylon and spandex blend hugs the figure closely
• Open crotch adds versatility to how it is worn
• No batteries or charging to think about

What to be aware of

• One size only, so those outside UK 6-12 are unlikely to get a good fit
• Hand wash only, with extra care needed around the stones
• Fine fabric can snag, so it needs careful storage
• A dedicated occasion piece rather than everyday wear

Buy it if

Anyone in the UK 6-12 range who wants a dramatic, all-over sparkling layer for a special evening and is happy to hand wash and store it carefully.

Skip it if

Those outside the 6-12 size range, or anyone wanting a fuss-free everyday piece, who would be better served by an adjustable set or a sturdier fabric with easier care.

Design and materials

The centrepiece is the glass rhinestone detailing set across the fabric, which is what gives this bodystocking its reason to exist. Glass stones tend to reflect light more crisply than plastic, so the shimmer should read as genuine sparkle rather than a flat glitter effect. The long-sleeved cut is a deliberate choice: it extends the coverage across the arms and shoulders so the sparkle is spread over the whole body rather than concentrated on the torso.

The body itself is a 95% nylon, 5% spandex blend, the standard recipe for a bodystocking. The nylon gives the sheer, smooth surface and the spandex provides the stretch that lets it cling. The open crotch is a practical design feature that adds versatility to how it is worn.

Fit and sizing

This is a one-size garment intended to cover UK dress sizes 6 to 12. That is a wide span for a single piece, and the way it works is by relying on the stretch to adapt to different figures. At the smaller end of the range it will sit more loosely and rely less on tension; at the upper end it will stretch closer to its limit, which can make sheer fabric appear lighter and put more strain on the seams and around the rhinestones.

If you are outside 6 to 12, there is no adjustment to fall back on, so this is not the piece for you. Anyone near the top of the range who prefers a relaxed rather than taut fit should factor that in too.

Care and longevity

Combining fine stretch fabric with glass rhinestones means gentle handling is essential. The instructions are clear: hand wash only, no tumble drying, no ironing and no bleach. Heat and machine agitation are the enemies of both the stones and the elastane, so following this matters if you want it to last.

The stones are also the part most likely to catch on other garments or jewellery, and the sheer fabric can snag. Storing it flat and separately, away from anything sharp or abrasive, is the sensible approach. Treated as a special-occasion piece rather than something in regular rotation, it should keep its sparkle.

How it compares

Against a plain sheer bodystocking, the rhinestone version trades everyday practicality for visual drama; you pay for that in more careful washing and storage. Against a lace or fishnet design, this offers a smoother, more uniform surface for the stones to sit on and a more overtly glamorous look.

The long sleeves also set it apart from the many strappy or cropped alternatives, giving full-length coverage that suits someone wanting a complete, head-to-toe effect rather than a more revealing cut.

The bottom line

If you want a bold, sparkling statement layer for a special evening and you sit comfortably within UK 6-12, this rhinestone bodystocking delivers exactly the dramatic effect it promises. Just go in knowing it is a delicate, hand-wash-only occasion piece rather than an everyday one, and store it with care to keep the stones and fabric at their best.
