Suomi Fishnet & Mesh
Wide net and fine mesh in dresses, crop tops and two piece sets. Worn on bare skin or over a bra and briefs, and the fastest way to make an ordinary outfit look deliberate. The size of the hole does most of the work: a wide net reads as a garment and can go under a jacket to a bar, a fine mesh reads as skin with a shadow on it and stays indoors. Net has no give in one direction and all of it in the other, so it hangs from the shoulders and clings at the hip, which flatters more shapes than the photographs suggest. Everything here catches on rings, watches and rough nails, so it is worth taking those off first and worth having a second one if you like the first.

Fishnet and mesh do the same job in opposite ways. Fishnet is an open grid you see straight through, so it draws lines across the body. Mesh is a fine net that covers everything and hides nothing, so it softens instead of frames. Almost everything in this department is one, the other, or a deliberate mix.
The size of the hole decides the look
Micronet is so fine it reads as a smoky veil from a metre away. It is the one that works under clothing and in daylight.
Standard fishnet, the diamond most people picture, is the classic. Visible from across the room, and the one that photographs best.
Wide net, sometimes called industrial, has holes a couple of centimetres across. It is bold, it snags on everything, and it does not survive rough handling.
Between them is a simple rule: the bigger the hole, the more fragile the garment.
Fishnet pieces you will find here
Bodystockings in net, from shoulder to toe, sometimes with an open crotch.
Catsuits and jumpsuits, the same idea but usually finished at the ankle with a closed gusset.
Dresses and mini dresses in net, meant to be worn over lingerie rather than alone.
Tops, sleeves and gloves, the pieces that mix into normal clothing.
Stockings and tights, which live in the stockings department rather than here.
What to wear underneath
This is the question everybody has. Net is see-through by definition, so what you put under it is the outfit.
A matching thong or a full set in the same colour reads deliberate. A contrasting colour reads louder and is the choice for going out.
Nothing underneath is an option with the finer meshes, less so with wide net, where the grid lands in places you did not plan.
A black net over black lingerie is the safe combination that always works.
Sizing and stretch
Net stretches more than any other fabric here, which is why so much of it is one size. That is genuinely true for tops and stockings.
For bodystockings and catsuits, height matters more than width. A one size net bodystocking fits a wide range of builds but runs short on anyone over about 1.80 metres, and then it pulls at the shoulders and crotch.
Where the product page gives a height range, use it. Where it gives S/M and L/XL, go by hip measurement.
Snags, ladders and how to avoid them
Rings, watches, bracelets, long nails and rough heels are what destroys net. Take rings off before putting it on.
Roll it up like a stocking rather than pulling it on like a sock, and work it up the body in stages.
A snag that has not broken a thread can be pulled back into shape with a fingertip. A broken thread ladders, and clear nail varnish on both ends of the break stops the ladder from travelling.
These are fragile garments by design. Treat a wide net dress as something with a limited number of wears.
Care
Hand wash in lukewarm water with a little mild detergent, or a laundry bag on delicates at thirty degrees.
Never wring net. Press the water out between two towels and lay it flat or hang it.
Do not tumble dry and do not iron, ever. The elastane in the net is what makes it stretch, and heat kills it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between fishnet and mesh?
Fishnet has an open grid with visible holes, so it draws lines across the body. Mesh is a fine net that covers the skin and is more transparent than open. Micronet sits between the two: technically fishnet, but fine enough to read as a veil.
What do I wear under a fishnet dress?
Lingerie, and it is part of the look. The same colour reads deliberate, a contrasting colour reads bolder. Fine mesh can be worn with nothing underneath; wide net rarely flatters that way.
Will one size fit me?
For tops and stockings, almost certainly. For bodystockings and catsuits, check the height range rather than the dress size: net stretches sideways easily but runs short on taller bodies.
How do I stop a ladder?
Clear nail varnish on both ends of the break. It stops the thread from running further. A snag that has not actually broken can usually be teased back into shape with a fingertip.
Can net go in the washing machine?
In a laundry bag on a delicates programme at thirty degrees, yes. Hand washing is safer. Never wring it, never tumble dry it and never iron it, because heat destroys the elastane that makes it stretch.
