The Leg Avenue Sheer Criss Cross Teddy (really a long sleeve legless body stocking) is a very versatile sexy 3-piece set that can be worn for sexy time, or even under clothes for a sexy daytime look. The set consists of a long sleeved sheer body suit and a pair of thigh highs. Both the stockings and the body suit sport a solid criss-cross pattern. On the body suit, the pattern crosses over the bodice. There are also wider-than-the-stripes solid panels in the panty and bra area, which leave a little bit to the imagination. These solid panels, which are woven into the fabric, would allow you to wear this under another top or jacket. Unfortunately for me, my breasts kept sliding out of the ‘solid zone’ and I had to continually adjust them for the proper effect. The overall effect is a little bondage-y, which is very, very sexy.

The fabric is sheer black nylon, similar to sheer pantyhose. As such, it is very delicate and will run or snag easily. The care instructions on the package are to hand wash and drip dry. This is a very delicate garment, and although I might wash this on delicate in a garment bag, I have to agree for once that hand washing is probably best.

Packaging is standard hosiery packaging: a flat cardboard package with the hosiery wrapped flat inside around a cardboard insert. The Leg Avenue pink and black packaging looks great, and is fairly discreet, with a photo of the front of the outfit on the front, and the back of the outfit on the back.

This piece looks MINISCULE when it comes out of the package. Seriously, before stretching, it is about the size of a washcloth. It is sized as “one size fits all” but this will probably not fit plus size ladies. It does easily stretch to fit (think pantyhose, before and after), but it does not stretch indefinitely. The sleeves reached all the way to my wrists, but the shoulder seams are a little narrow and sat a little inside of my actual shoulder. The neckline is a standard crew neck style, like a t-shirt. This was form-fitting garment, but not tight. For reference, I normally wear a small-to-medium, or size 6-8 and this fit very well. The crotch closes with two snaps like a standard bodysuit.

The stockings are very sexy, with a matching criss-cross pattern. The 1” wide elastic band at the top is rather tight, and I felt they created too much of a muffin top to wear with the body suit. I fully intend to wear them with a dress or skirt, though. The stockings could be worn with garters, but they are not necessary, as the elastic is strong. Some reviewers have felt that the stockings are too long. I didn't have that problem, but do feel that they are VERY TIGHT at the top band...too tight.

This is still sexy and sheer and run-free. Handle with care and this will last a while. Better yet, buy a spare because you'll love this!
