I'm a huge fan of fishnet (I haven't figured out why, but hey, there's plenty worse to be excited about) so when the fishnet body stocking was back in stock... well, it was time! From the photos, this appeared to be a great piece... sexy fishnet, full body coverage with a deep neck line, and how can you beat "easy" access where it counts!

Out of the box, the packaging is not unlike any of the body stockings or leggings I've received, sealed in plastic and wrapped in a simple pink cardboard wrapper, featuring a model adorned in the body stocking. After a quick unwrapping (followed by a quick trip through the washer and dryer) it was time to play with the new toy!

My first impression of the body stocking was both how incredibly soft the material is (it's made of 100% Nylon) and how elastic it seems. I wasn't trying to stretch it to its limits, but it will easily stretch to accommodate most wearers, without risking an easy tear. In fact, we were almost tempted to try tearing the material to see what it would take, but then realized that'd be a waste of such a fun looking piece. The other thing immediately obvious is that the seams primarily along the feet, shoulders, and neckline, are all decently finished. They don't create a funky toe look (like many of the stockings I've received from Eden) so you can wear the stocking without shoes and not feel like the feet look awful.

Putting the stocking on initially seems easy. The elasticity allows you to pull the bulk of the material upwards after stepping into the opening at the neckline. It's not too difficult to pull the stocking up, and unlike some other Eden reviewers, I didn't experience any sizing issues (and I'm roughly 5'7", and an average weight). What I did experience was that, unlike the models in the stock photos, the netting doesn't easily provide equal fishnet / diamond coverage. What I mean is the some areas the diamonds in the netting are tighter, provide a more opaque look, while others seem to be very stretched apart. After about 15 plus minutes, trying to even out the positioning, I finally got it to look nice enough to feel good about. It is a little frustrating that it requires so much effort to put on this body stocking, but I suppose I'm willing to overlook that.

And of course the highlight... and the base is a perfect opening, roughly 3" to 4" for easy access without having to remove the stocking.

It's been a few weeks, and with that has come a few runs through the wash... with no loss of quality. I do worry that before too long it's going to tear, just from putting on/taking off. Otherwise, I do like the design.
