Holz105's review of Mandy Mystery Strappy Fishnet Lace Bodystocking

I think the it's important to start by saying that this catsuit/bodystocking isn't my usual style at all. So upon opening the box my immediate reaction was that I probably didn't like it "but hey it's crotchless so I might".

The first thing I noticed was that it's a different shade of pink to the photo on the packaging. Personally this is a plus, the deeper magenta shade is far more flattering on most skin tones opposed the the vaguely wishy washy pink. It comes out of the packet quite true to size length wise and has a lot of stretch to it to accommodate extra height and also various different dress sizes.

It took a while for me to untangle the suspender style strings to actually get it on. This definitely isn't something you can just slip into. Even the second and third time I decided to try it on once I had mastered sorting out the strings it took a little while what with separating and adjusting them all.

I'm 5'7 (mostly leg) and a uk size 4-6 so I have sizing problems with a lot of one size lingerie. However this bodystocking fit really well. The elasticity of the fishnet made sure the stockings stretched and the bodysuit clung to my body and the high cut of the body suit really showed off how long my legs are.

The suspender strings however aren't so elastic. It's fine while I'm standing up or laying down stretched out but as soon as I had a bend in my knee or sat down the gapes massively and really affected the look of the outfit. It's only a minor issue though as given how thin they are I pretty much expected it would happen.

Now personally, despite it fitting well and being quite flattering I'm still not won over by this bodystocking. Neither is my OH, I sent him a photo of me wearing it (several in fact) and he called me laughing and told me he hated it. I think really it's just not my style.

However as separates I love it. The stockings are stretchy and comfortable (no room for any toes to poke out, seams all in the right places etc) and the bodysuit is really flattering. Oh and the hole in the crotch is small and well placed and isn't sacrificed by any sagging or gaping in the bodysuit.

Overall I can't really fault this catsuit. It's well made, fits well (although maybe if you're a little shorter the suspender straps may be quite baggy) and the colour is really flattering. It's just not my style which is a shame.
