Fishnet Catsuit
I don’t think the everyday catsuit needs any introduction. We’re all familiar with this one-piece garment that turns up everywhere from the catwalk to Olympic speed skating to scuba diving to science fiction television shows. And let’s not forget tennis. But even fashion icon Serena Williams didn’t dare step onto the court wearing a fishnet catsuit. This unique piece takes the style and imagination of a traditional catsuit and turns it into a see-through statement of pure sex appeal.
There’s nothing about a fishnet catsuit that doesn’t say, or more accurately, shout, sexy. It hugs every single curve and puts each one of them on display. There many different kinds of fishnet, from the large rope-like mesh all the way through to soft, smooth sheer material. The type of material determines how the catsuit will fit and how it will interact with the body. A larger mesh will create an exciting pattern across the skin, while the softer, sheer material will wrap the body in a satiny sheen that is silky smooth to the touch.
You may also hear the fishnet catsuit referred to more commonly as a bodystocking. While they are both similar in look and feel, a bodystocking is designed to be worn under clothing, or as lingerie. Of course it doesn’t have to be, and neither does a fishnet catsuit. But if you’re thinking of wearing either as an undergarment, think one step further: how much of a surprise it would be for your partner to discover a full-length fishnet catsuit under your every-day business suit upon returning home from an ordinary day at the office?
If this article has you convinced that it’s time to give the very sexy fishnet catsuit a try, may we suggest the Sarah Black Fishnet Catsuit, tight-fitting bodysuit with a high neck and an unzippable crotch, or the Vetina Fully Enclosed Black Fishnet Catsuit, a fully enclosed bodysuit that wraps your entire body in smooth and sheer black fishnet, like a delectable and decadent present just waiting to be opened!

Fishnet Corset
The corset was originally designed to shape the upper body by incorporating lacing and boning (the rigid frame of the garment) to create the desired aesthetic effect of a curvier figure. Many modern corsets are visually similar to traditional corsets, but the function of shaping of the body has taken a back seat to fashion. Following along this trend is a minimalist approach to corsetry where the frame becomes the primary feature and the fabric is secondary. This creates what is essentially a see-through corset. In this case we’ll take a look at one specific example, the fishnet corset.
In a traditional corset, the boning creates and supports the shape of the corset (and subsequently the shape of the wearer). The fabric of the corset is typically flexible and stretched tightly over the corset’s structure, with channels where boning is inserted. Because of its delicate nature, fishnet would not be a typical fabric selection for this type of treatment. That is why the fishnet corset is such a unique garment.
Fishnet Corset
The first thing you will notice about the fishnet corset is that the boning fully defines the garment. The curves in the boning, while reminiscent of a traditional corset, are soft, alluring and flattering to a wide variety of body types. They create a seductive and shapely contour that draws the eye from the top of the breasts all the way down to the thighs, complementing the natural curves of the breasts and hips. Within the frame are panels of soft and delicate fishnet material, offering teasing windows to the delicate skin beneath as well as providing a contrasting visual and physical texture. The fishnet corset is looser fitting than a traditional corset due to the nature of the fabric. The main support of the garment is in the frame, preventing the fishnet fabric from stretching too tightly across the skin as it would do in more typical fishnet garments, like stockings or tights.
The fishnet corset is a distinct and extraordinary garment that uses an iconic fashion tradition to create a bold new statement. As the nature of a corset is to support and enhance the natural shape of a woman, it is a garment that can be worn by women of all shapes and sizes. An excellent example is the Sophia Black Fishnet Corset Dress, which finishes with a delicate fishnet ruffle, or the Tilia Black Fishnet Corset with asymmetrical contours that further accentuate the natural bust shape.
