Be Wicked! Lingerie Floral Delight Long-Sleeve Bodystocking – Turquoise

Turquoise is the unexpected colour in the Be Wicked! Floral Delight line, and that's the appeal. This long-sleeve bodystocking pairs a cropped floral top with a high-waisted floral bottom, and the blue-green shade looks fresh against both pale and deep skin tones. If your lingerie drawer is mostly black and red, this is a cute lingerie piece that feels new without being complicated.

How this bodystocking is cut

Floral Delight is a two-piece take on the classic one-piece. Up top there's a round neckline, close-fitting sleeves that run to the wrist and a hem that stops above the navel. Below, the bottom has a high-waisted front and a cheeky back. Where the two meet depends on your torso: on some people they touch, on others a narrow strip of skin shows. Either way the floral pattern runs across both pieces, so the outfit still looks matched.

Fabric feel

It's knitted from 92% nylon and 8% spandex. Expect a soft, lightweight fabric with an easy stretch that holds close to the body without pinching. There are no clasps or wires, which makes it comfortable for a long evening, a beach-holiday photo shoot or simply lounging.

Ways to wear turquoise

This shade pairs naturally with silver jewellery, white and nude shoes, and denim. Wear the cropped top as a lingerie top under a white shirt left open, or with a flowing skirt for a summer party. For a full lingerie look, keep everything else neutral so the colour carries the outfit. The set doesn't come with a thong or pasties; a nude thong is the least visible under turquoise. Would you rather go brighter? The hot pink Floral Delight uses the same design.

Size check before you order

You're looking at the one-size cut. Be Wicked!'s one size runs about dress 6 to 12, which in measurements means hips of 34 to 40 in, a waist of 23 to 29 in and a bust of 32 to 38 in. If your measurements are above that, the Queen version is made for about sizes 18 to 24; right now we stock the Queen in black only. Because spandex is just 8% of the blend, buying a size down for a tighter fit isn't a good idea; it can strain the seams.

Looking after it

Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and dry it flat in the shade. Bleach, the dryer, an iron and dry cleaning are all off the list. Sunlight can dull lighter blues over time, so don't leave it drying on a sunny windowsill. A mesh laundry bag in your drawer keeps it from catching on other pieces. If a thread does pull, ease it back through to the inside with a needle rather than cutting it, which stops a small snag from turning into a run.
