Body Stockings

A body de red is technically a full-body stocking. It is knitted in one piece, without side seams in most models, and therefore falls continuously from the shoulders to the feet or to the thigh, depending on the design. This construction explains both its effect and its care.

How to choose the size

Here, the usual clothing size is not used, but the combination of height and weight indicated by the manufacturer. It is the system specific to stockings and works better than conventional sizes because the fabric stretches in both directions.

Height weighs more than weight in the final result. If you are tall, go up a size even if your weight indicates otherwise, because a short mono de red pulls from the shoulders and from the crotch at the same time.

How to put it on without breaking it

It is the part that ruins the most pieces and has a simple solution. Take off rings and bracelets, check that your nails have no sharp edges and, if in doubt, put on thin gloves.

Gather the fabric with your hands until it forms a ring, as you would do with a stocking, and go up in sections: first the feet, then the legs, then the hips and finally the shoulders. Never pull on the stretched garment, because the force is concentrated in a single thread and that is where it breaks.

Below, above or alone

It works very well under a tight dress, a T-shirt or ripped jeans, where the mesh only shows through in parts. It is also worn alone as a piece of lingerie, with or without underwear underneath depending on the plot.

Models with an opening avoid having to remove the entire garment, something quite practical in a piece that is difficult to put on. If you are looking for full coverage with different material, look at the Catsuits.

Care and repair

Hand wash in cold water with neutral soap, without rubbing or twisting, drying flat and in the shade. If you use a washing machine, put the garment in a mesh bag and use a cold delicate program.

A small snag can be stopped with a drop of clear nail varnish on the back to prevent it from running. Store the piece folded, never hanging, and separated from hooks or zippers. Exclusive sale for people over 18 years of age.

Which model for which occasion

The full-length one with feet is the most covering and the one that wears worst with shoes, so it works best at home. The one that ends at the thigh allows it to be combined with shoes and a skirt, and is the most versatile in the category. The models with an opening in the crotch are worn without removing them, which is their reason for being, and those with wide nets look much more than they appear in the catalog photo.

Worn under street clothes, the fine mesh and neutral tone go almost unnoticed and add a layer of texture. For a specific occasion, the wide net and geometric motifs work much better, because the drawing is what is seen from a distance.

Plus sizes and net

The net gives of itself, but not infinitely, and in large sizes the problem is usually not the contour but the height. A model designed for 1.65 is short in the torso on someone who is 1.80 and pulls the neckline down all night.

References labeled as curvy or plus usually add centimeters of length as well as girth, which is exactly what is needed. When the card gives a height and weight range, that information is more reliable than the letter of the size.

What to do with a career

A small run is stopped with a drop of clear nail varnish on each end, which seals the thread and prevents further running. It's not a pretty repair, but it works and saves the garment for several more wears.
