One-Size Fits...Not Me
I had such hopes for this body stocking. I loved the fishnet sleeves and imagine my excitement when I saw it was available in plus-size! Apparently, however, plus-size is not the same for all manufacturers. I advise against this product if you wear over a 1X, have a bigger belly-region, or are above average height.

Cons
* Runs small, too small.
This gorgeous body stocking is available in two sizes: one-size and plus-size. Now, while I am a larger girl, I still fit in plus-size clothing I've bought off EdensFantasys (I usually range between a 2/3X), so I was very disappointed to find that the plus-size version of this product didn't cut it for me.
When I tried this body stocking on, it stopped just below my bust. I was confused--what's this? The leg-section of the stocking wasn't tight at all, and even stretched pretty far beyond my legs, but the body stocking simply did not go up any further. I'm honestly not sure if it's a shortness issue or a thinness issue, because everything was stretchy enough that it should have fit.
Frustrated and disappointed, I took a pair of scissors to my new body stocking. No, I did not cut it to bits, but I did cut it in half (and then trimmed sections on the lower half). From this, a made my own fishnet top and thigh-highs.
Now, both of these pieces fit, so it wasn't a total loss in my efforts to use this product. I bought this mainly for the top-section: I wanted something cute to wear under my corsets or t-shirts that added a little something. The (what I playfully call "industrial") thigh highs are able to be used with garters and some light sewing.
My issue is seemingly a length-issue. Now, I am an average height, so I don't want to really convince myself the product was made that short. I'm sure this has to be because of a tight-belly issue, even though it did appear to have stretch, still.
The fishnet material is nice, it's soft and not scratchy. It is made of 100% nylon, according to a sticker attached to the stocking. It has a lot of wide-stretch to it, meaning I probably could have fit another pair of legs in the bottom section. To wash this item, I suggest filling a tub or sink with cool water and a bit of liquid detergent and using your hands to saturate the stocking and rinse it until the water runs clear. Drip dry.
The packaging for this is much like any other stocking you're going to get. It's wrapped around a thin piece of cardboard with the picture of the model on it. It's not something you'd use for storage.
Fortunately, I was able to make use of this product in my own creative way. I would discourage those who fit sizes 3X-4X, as well as 1X-2X from buying this as it probably will not fit. Shame, because it is such a nice body stocking. Hopefully, if you do decide to try this, you will not have to cut yours in half for this to work for you.

Experience
I'm rating this product with only two stars because while I do like the quality of the material and the look of it on the model, the sizing was too much of an issue to wear it without alteration.
It also always worth noting that the product name is wrong. This body stocking is NOT seamless, and you can even see the seams in the photo provided on the product page. The photo is correct, it is the name that is wrong.

Follow-up commentary
21 days after original review
It's hard to decide what to rate this as, now. I chose "I've started to like it more" because I have taken the option to alter this product to fit my use for it. I've cut it in half and made a pair of fishnet stockings and a fishnet crop-top for under corsets. If you are smaller than plus-size, this should work fine for you as my only problem with this product was the fit. I hope this helps.
