What are bodystockings?

Bodystockings are an article of lingerie that can either be used as a complete outfit or worn underneath clothing.

In general bodystockings have long legs, with either halternecks, long, short or no sleeves. Many bodystockings are also crotchless, for erotic appeal as well as the practicality of going to the bathroom.

Bodystockings first became fashionable in the 1970′s, when women realized that an all in one garment was not only warmer, but resulted in no bumps or bulges around the waist. Men also loved the eroticism of a sheer stocking for the whole body. It was not long before the fashion industry caught on, resulting in the myriad of different styles, shapes and colours.
