Be Wicked! Play With Me Bodystocking – Turquoise

Turquoise gives the Be Wicked! Play With Me a cool, summery feel that sets it apart from the usual black net. It's a fishnet bodystocking with a round neckline, long sleeves, a cropped top and a high-waisted bottom with a Brazilian-cut back. The blue-green mesh looks great over swimwear on holiday and just as good as cute lingerie at home.

How this fishnet bodystocking sits on the body

The top half fits like a long-sleeve crop top: close at the arms, round at the neck and finishing above the navel. The lower half rises to the waist at the front, then curves into a Brazilian cut behind, which shows more of the bum than a classic brief without going as far as a thong. Visually, the cropped section and high waist frame the midriff, so the shape reads as two clear blocks of colour.

The mesh

Be Wicked! knits it from 92% nylon with 8% spandex. Nylon gives the net its smooth, light strands, and the spandex keeps it close-fitting and helps it recover after stretching over hips and shoulders. Being fishnet, it's see-through by design. A thong isn't included, so choose one in white, nude or turquoise to keep the colour story clean.

From the beach to the bedroom

Turquoise has an obvious holiday mood. Over a white or turquoise bikini it becomes a light cover-up for a pool party or beach bar; just keep it away from chlorine and saltwater soaking, which are hard on spandex. With white sandals and shell or silver jewellery the look stays breezy. Indoors, wear it with a thong and bare feet, or add heels for photos. For a softer, patterned option in the same shade, the Floral Delight in turquoise shares the cropped top and high waist but swaps the fishnet for florals.

Size

This is the one-size version, which Be Wicked!'s chart lists for hips of roughly 34 to 40 inches, a 23 to 29 inch waist and a 32 to 38 inch bust. If you're closer to dress sizes 18 to 24, the turquoise Queen size is the same piece cut for fuller curves.

Looking after turquoise mesh

Follow the care label. Be Wicked! recommends washing by hand in cold water with a mild detergent, then laying it flat to dry. Bleach, a tumble dryer, an iron and high heat can all weaken the net. If you've worn it near a pool, rinse it in fresh cold water as soon as you can. Dry it in the shade; strong sun fades lighter blues. Keep it folded in its box between wears so the long sleeves don't stretch on a hanger. Pack it in a zip pouch when travelling to stop it snagging on other clothes.
