The DreamGirls plus size fishnet body stocking is first off, a great value. For less than $15, you get a piece of lingerie that is comfortable, can be worn under clothing or all by its itself in your bedroom. If properly cared for, this item should last quite a while.

The plus size version is said to fit 165-275 lbs. While I will not be disclosing my weight, I will tell you that I am a size 16 and 5'7". The item fit me very comfortably, and due to its stretch, would likely fit traditional womens sizes from 14 to about 20, as long as you're not too tall - height was more of an issue than width. In addition, if a man would want to wear this, it is versatile enough as long as you're not too tall. The only visible seams are at the shoulders and there is a thin band of elastic at the wrists to keep the sleeves in place. The scoop neck and crotchless portion are equally deep in front in back, meaning there really is no defined front or back to this that I could tell.

The only real negative to consider is that it takes about 10 minutes to get in to. You put it on through the wide and stretchy scoop neck line. I put it on like you would normal stockings - gather up one leg, put my toe in first and pull up - this has to be done on both legs, and then straightened out so that the crotchless portion is in the right spot and comfortable. I also had to go through and re-stretch the legs because at 5'7" and more leg than torso, the crotch originally only came up to about 3" from the tops of my thighs. But it was stretchy enough to adjust to fit just fine and once it was on and stretched out a little it wasn't an issue at all. I had to go through the same things on the arms as the legs, and then I had to pull up through the torso to get the neckline where I wanted it.

Once it is on, it really is comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time. The crotchless portion isn't too large, it's a perfectly sized section to make it usable for play without removing it, but it's not so big to be uncomfortable or blatantly obvious. You could also wear panties and or a bra underneath if that would make you more comfortable. Since it is all one piece, once you have it on the way you want it, it stays in place well through position changes, walking around, etc. I also found it interesting that it was definitely figure flattering despite not feeling tight. The black fishnet flatters the pretty curves and hides the not-so-pretty ones. The fishnet stays about the same size everywhere, meaning that even at wider portions, the net pattern is not stretched out much more in any one area than another. It was not so tight that it squished my breasts down making them look flattened, which was an initial concern of mine. It also wasn't so tight that it left fishnet marks all over me, so theoretically it could be worn for playtime followed by time out with people that you didn't want to be aware of the fact that you had just been frolicking about clothed only in sexy black fishnet.

The entire suit is made of simple black nylon. The netting is thick enough that it has not pulled on me at all yet, after several washings. Just to be careful though, I remove my anklet, toe ring, and any long necklaces before putting it on so there's nothing for it to catch on. It comes wrapped around a piece of white oak tag, inside a cardboard package, similar to a pair of regular stockings. The package is really not made for storage but the item shrinks down to its original size after washing, so it's very easy to throw in a drawer, or even to pack in a suitcase or overnight bag for a trip. Since it is oh-so-stretchy, it doesn't wrinkle and therefore doesn't have to be hung up or folded perfectly either. I wash it just as instructed - hand wash (I use Dr. Bronner's castile soap) followed by line dry.

Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable and very sexy addition to their lingerie collection. With the versatility it offers, there's almost no reason not to give it a try or have it around for an special occasion. If it was easier and quicker to put on, I would have gladly given it 5 stars.

On a personal note, my man and I love this. He thinks it looks sexy and it makes me feel sexy which only adds to the experiences we have while I'm wearing it. I tend to wear it all by itself when we're home together although at some point I'm sure I'll venture out wearing it under something else. Think of what a pretty surprise it would be to remove a skirt and top (long sleeved of course) or dress at the end of the day and have your partner realize the fishnet doesn't stop at your thighs or your waist. Also, I personally find wearing sexy underthings to be a bit of a turn on during the day so I might just have to wear this out to an event sometime to see if I really enjoy it for myself.

Not only do I still love just about everything about this, it's held up much better than i expected. I though by now it either would have stretched out too much or shrunken, torn or frayed, and it's done none of those. It fits, looks, and feels, just as incredible as it did the first time, which is awesome for the price!
