Passion black floral bodystocking

Let me introduce you to the BS119 in black, a bodystocking that contrasts the delicacy of a floral pattern on top with a denser, graphic knit on the legs. The striped cutouts with their garter-belt-inspired look add a bold touch without sacrificing comfort, thanks to the wide straps. It’s a piece my customers often ask me for when they want an alternative to a bodystocking made entirely from plain fishnet, precisely because the top and bottom tell two different stories.

Floral patterns and contrasting knit

The bustier of this style is adorned with delicate floral patterns, while the legs are made from a tighter knit that visually streamlines the silhouette while preserving the transparency characteristic of fishnet. The whole piece is made from 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, the same base used throughout the BS range, creating a flexible fabric that follows the body without compressing it. The contrast between the floral pattern and the plain knit on the legs creates a two-part visual effect, from the bust downward.

Garter-belt-inspired cutouts

The striped cutouts on the lower body echo the visual codes of a garter belt, without a separate piece to adjust: everything is integrated into the same knit. Unlike thinner straps, the wide straps distribute the weight of the fabric across the shoulders more evenly for comfort that lasts all evening. Choosing wider straps also makes a real difference if you plan to wear it for several hours at a time.

How to preserve the floral pattern

I always put on this type of piece starting at the feet and working upward, gently, so as not to put strain on the striped cutouts. Hand washing in lukewarm water protects both the floral pattern and the shape of the knit over time: a washing machine tends to stretch this type of finish. Lay it flat to dry, never on a hanger, which could deform the wide straps.

Is this black BS119 right for you?

This black BS119 is for you if you like contrasting a floral touch with a bolder arrangement of cutouts on the legs. If you prefer a uniform knit without a pattern, my fishnet bodystocking collection will let you compare other styles from the same range, with or without striped cutouts.

A friend’s advice — Put it on with bare hands and without freshly applied nail polish: the floral pattern on the bustier is the most delicate part to protect.
