Lovehoney Plus Size Crotchless Blue 3/4 Sleeve Lace Bodystocking

Ding, ding, we have a winner! Bodystockings have always been a worry of mine. My husband has wanted me to wear one for a while, but not only am I over 5'10", I am also a size 18. I find with tights they usually only accommodate either my height or my plus size. This caters to both. There is ample room to stretch over every inch of my fuller figure leaving only the intended areas uncovered. It fits me perfectly with plenty of give to move freely without feeling restricted at all.

I have really long nails and tend to pop my stockings if I am not super careful. Even though the lace looks delicate, it is very durable and such high quality. No loose threads, just perfect stitching. It can withstand a good pulling, so it is really going to last. The lace is so soft, there is no itchy scratchiness from it and it feels incredibly light. Although it gives almost a full coverage, it feels like you aren't wearing anything.

The style is just stunning. As my wardrobe shows, my favourite sleeve is a 3/4 length sleeve. I have more tops and dresses with a 3/4 sleeve than any other style. I find something flattering about them. The bingo wing is covered but leaves the forearm bare. This is no different. It has the sleeve length I love so the wobbly bits are covered. The gentle scoop neck shows just enough to slim down my broad shoulders.

This is crotchless ,but it isn't extremely obvious. It has a large enough gap for easy access but not too huge it shows off your underwear, that's if you are wearing any!

I must admit, as amazing as this is I am not struck on the colour. This was a secret tester so all I knew was it was blue. I love blue, my hair is currently blue, but this is a peculiar shade. It's not light, yet it's not bright or dark, it is just in the middle. It reminds me a little of my old, faded out navy school sweatshirt. It isn't my favourite colour, but I don't hate it. It's really nice to have something other than black or red. Black and red dominates the world of lingerie so it is super to have an alternative.

There is something really liberating about a body stocking. It accents your curves, disguises the parts you aren't so comfortable displaying and just feels amazing! I would never dream I could wear something like this with my body but I really can. My husband was more than happy. It really turned him on seeing me wearing it which of course boosted my confidence even higher!

I've worn this under my dress as I love the lacey leg look. It does wind my husband up as he knows I have a body stocking on and cant wait to get me back home! It really us comfortable, it doesn't pull, twist or wander up my bum. I've washed this more than once and it is like new. There is no bobbling, no fading and it has maintained it's shape. As I said before: ding, ding, we have a winner!

I love to dress up for my partner and he really enjoys it too. Whenever there is an outfit that he thinks I will look good in he gets it. He has this funny thing of knowing what outfit would suit me and what wouldn't. So when he picked this out I was over the moon because I loved it instantly.

When the item came in a brown padded envelope I wanted to have a look straight away. My partner opened the envelope before me and then showed me what it looked like. I really couldn't wait to see it and I thought it looked amazing.

The box that it came in was pink and black. It had the name of the outfit on the front. It had the Lovehoney name at the top if it. On the back of the box there is the Lovehoney mission statement. There was also a drawn picture of the outfit on a woman. The front and the back view. Also there was a picture from a camera of the material. On this picture it looked like the material was purple not midnight blue – this made me a little down in the dumps as I really liked the midnight blue colour.

I then opened the box and had a look at the bodystocking. Inside the see-through bag, the bodystocking was inside so I opened up the bag and felt the material. To be honest it felt like woollen tights, but it felt really soft. I was worried as it felt woollen that it may be a little scratchy on my skin. I spread the outfit out onto my bed and it looked really good. I had to take the cardboard out of one of the legs. I couldn't really see the floral design on the material when the outfit wasn't stretched out. But when I did stretch out the material it looked really nice. There were big flowers on the material and it made the outfit look womanly.

I loved the fact that this bodystocking was crotchless as it was just so better for easy access when thing start to get steamy. I loved the deep plunge on the neckline at the front. As I have a large bust necklines like this make me feel more confident as it shows off one of my biggest assets. The back has a large plunge to it too. I love the fact that the sleeves are ¾ length.

After having a good look at the outfit I had to try it on. So I went into the bathroom and started to get into the outfit. This was quite easy, apart from the top of the outfit as there was a little bit that wasn't as stretchy as the rest of the outfit. Once I had got it on I did realise that this was made for women who are slightly taller than me. I noticed this because the legs of the outfit would fall down and move to my feet.

This didn't bother me as I have had this was quite a few bodystockings. As I am only 5'3, I'm not the tallest of people. Well, I kept this on and I got dressed up. The one thing I really like with this outfit was when I had my clothes on top of it I couldn't really see it. As I had a skirt on it looked like I was just wearing a pair of tights. Okay, now the crotchless part of the bodystocking was a little annoying. The finish on it wasn't stretchy and it kind of dug in. When I did move it into a position that felt comfortable for me it was fine.

When my partner saw me he knew I had the bodystocking on, as he could see it on my legs. I started fumbling around with him and he undressed me. When he saw me in the bodystocking he just had a really big smile on his face. He told me I looked really sexy and made me feel sexy.

Now washing this outfit is easy. I just took it off and put it into the washing machine. I put it on a hand wash with a few other delicate bits. It came out really well and I hung it onto the airer for it to dry. When it was dry I made sure it was all okay. There was no snagging to it and it looked as good as new.

We needed bodystockings in more colours, and, just like Batman, Lovehoney answered the call.

Lovehoney, you're naughty. Thanks to your amazing ranges of lingerie I'm now torn between what is the fave bedroom style, either cute floaty babydolls (that have been a firm favourite for years I'll have you know!) or your ravenous range of skin-tight, sumptuously sexy bod stockings.

Now, a bodystocking in deep, midnight blue, well, that's just the icing on the cake!

This longer sleeved stocking really is the bee's knees. Once on (a bit tricky at first, but persevere, it's all worth it) you will feel like a goddess, a sexy minx, like the cat that got the clotted cream!

The colour of this is stunning and really suits the floral pattern. Being a full stocking (apart from the crotch) the soft material will caress your skin and feel like you are naked and dressed all at the same time.

The stitching, as usual, is flawless. For the price, these are amazingly well made.

This fits quite nicely for a size 18 5'6". The material is plenty stretchy to accommodate a larger frame, however, if you were a fair bit taller you might find this a bit tight on the shoulders and toes.

Thanks to the open crotch you can keep this on while you get busy, it's subtle enough to not let it all 'hang out', but open enough to straddle your other half and push yourself into their face!

If you haven't tried a stocking before cause you are body shy, make use of Lovehoney's return policy, give one a try and never look back.

This is another superb addition to the Lovehoney range. Keep them coming!
