Body Stockings
Body stockings are full-body hosiery garments that cover the torso, legs, and arms in a single sheer or patterned piece. Combining the visual appeal of lingerie with the all-over coverage of a one-piece garment, body stockings are worn as intimate wear for partners, as a layering piece under costumes, and as a standalone fashion statement in their own right. The Body Stockings collection at Lovva covers sheer nylon and lycra full-body stockings, fishnet and patterned designs, open-crotch and open-cup formats, and bodysuits in sizes ranging from standard through to plus size.
About This Collection
Body stockings occupy a distinctive place in the intimate apparel category. Unlike a bra and knicker set that covers specific areas, a body stocking covers almost everything and reveals through sheerness or pattern rather than through cut-out or absence. This makes them visually striking in a different way from conventional lingerie: the entire body is framed by the garment rather than selected parts of it. Brands like Yelete, known for their hosiery expertise since 2006, and specialist intimate apparel brands like Mapale and Lapdance Lingerie produce the most diverse range of body stocking styles at Lovva.
What Is in the Collection
Sheer nylon body stockings cover the full body in a near-transparent nylon or lycra fabric, creating a subtle second-skin effect that frames the body without concealing it. Fishnet body stockings use an open mesh construction in fine or chunky fishnet patterns for a bolder, more graphic appearance. Patterned and floral body stockings incorporate lace, floral, or geometric patterns into the fabric for a more decorative effect. Open-crotch body stockings include a cut-out or open panel at the crotch for access while the garment remains in place. Open-cup body stockings include cut-out or open panels at the bust for breast exposure with the rest of the body covered. Metallic and shiny finish body stockings use gloss or metallic fabric for a dramatic, performative look suited to stage, dance, and costume use. Plus size body stockings are cut to fit larger bodies without the stretching distortion that occurs when standard-cut pieces are worn outside their intended size range.

Choosing Body Stockings
Choose your size based on height and weight guide rather than standard clothing size. Body stockings stretch significantly but a garment sized too small will distort at the mesh or pull uncomfortably. Check the size guide on each product page and choose based on the height and weight range specified rather than your usual dress or trouser size. If you are between sizes, choose the larger option for the most comfortable fit.
Choose sheer nylon for a subtle, skin-close effect. A fine sheer nylon body stocking creates the effect of a second skin that frames the body uniformly. This suits intimate wear where the emphasis is on the overall silhouette rather than a specific pattern or cut-out feature.
Choose fishnet for a bolder visual statement. Fishnet body stockings have a more graphic, textural appearance that suits performance, costume, and intimate wear where a stronger visual impact is the goal. Fine fishnet is subtler. Chunky fishnet is more graphic and sits further from the skin.
Consider open-crotch or open-cup options for wearability during sex. Open-crotch body stockings can remain in place during sex, which suits wearers who want to keep the garment on. Check the product description for the specific opening format before ordering.

Caring for Body Stockings
Wash by hand in cold water with a mild detergent or on a delicate machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid contact with rough surfaces and jewellery during wear as these snag sheer and mesh fabrics easily. Store folded rather than compressed to maintain the fabric structure.

Frequently asked questions
What is a body stocking and how is it different from regular lingerie?
A body stocking is a full-body hosiery garment that covers the torso, legs, and arms in a single sheer or patterned piece. Unlike conventional lingerie that covers or exposes specific areas through cut or style, a body stocking covers almost the entire body and reveals through sheerness or open mesh pattern rather than through absence of fabric. This creates a visually distinctive effect where the whole body is framed by the garment rather than selected parts highlighted.
What types of body stockings are available?
The collection includes sheer nylon body stockings for a near-transparent second-skin effect, fishnet designs in fine and chunky mesh for a bolder graphic look, patterned and floral lace styles, open-crotch formats that allow access while the garment stays in place, open-cup designs with breast cut-outs, metallic and gloss finish styles for performance and costume use, and plus size options cut for larger bodies without distortion.
How do I choose the right size body stocking?
Use the height and weight guide on each product page rather than your standard clothing size. Body stockings stretch significantly but a garment sized too small distorts at the mesh and pulls uncomfortably. If you are between the size ranges listed, choose the larger option for the most comfortable and best-looking fit. Size guides vary between styles and brands so check each product page individually.
Can I wear a body stocking during sex?
Open-crotch body stockings include a cut-out or open panel at the crotch that allows access while the garment stays on. Check the specific product description for the opening format before ordering if wearability during sex is your priority. Standard full-coverage body stockings without an open panel need to be removed for direct genital access.
How do I care for a body stocking?
Wash by hand in cold water with a mild detergent or on a delicate machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Do not tumble dry as heat damages nylon and lycra fibres. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, rings, and jewellery during wear as these snag and ladder sheer and mesh fabrics. Store folded in a dry location away from direct sunlight.
