Quick answer
Start with your usual clothing size, then check the stretch of the fishnet and adjust the straps for a secure fit. Layer the Karina Bodysuit under a sheer top or wear it alone with high-waisted bottoms for a bold look.
Why the fishnet and spandex blend changes how you size
The Karina Bodysuit is made from 92% nylon and 8% spandex, giving it moderate stretch that hugs your curves without feeling restrictive. Because fishnet can relax slightly with body heat, choose a size that feels snug but not tight when you first put it on. If you're between sizes, size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear it for extended periods.
Layering without hiding the strappy details
The bandeau top and strappy shoulder straps are design features worth showing off. Pair the bodysuit with a sheer or open-knit top so the straps remain visible, or wear it under a blazer for a peekaboo effect. Avoid thick, opaque fabrics that can bunch over the fishnet and obscure the strappy back.
Step-by-step fit and layering process
- Start with your usual size: Use your regular clothing size as a baseline. The spandex blend offers stretch, but fishnet can feel tighter across the hips and bust. If you're between sizes, go up. Check the size chart for hip and bust measurements, not just dress size.
- Adjust the shoulder straps: The strappy shoulder straps are fixed, so make sure they sit comfortably on your shoulders without twisting. If they dig in, the bodysuit may be too small. Test by raising your arms; straps should stay in place without pulling.
- Smooth the thong-style bottom: The thong back can shift if the bodysuit is too loose. Ensure the bottom sits flat against your body and doesn't roll. A too-tight fit can cause discomfort, so find the balance. Do a squat test to check for riding up or bunching.
- Layer with intention: Wear under a sheer top to show the fishnet and straps, or pair with high-waisted pants or a skirt for a standalone look. Avoid rough fabrics that can snag the fishnet. Choose smooth linings to prevent snags and keep the focus on the strappy details.
- Care for the fishnet after wear: Handwash in warm water with mild soap, then lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or machine drying, which can distort the fishnet and stretch out the spandex. Store folded flat or hung by the straps to maintain shape.
