🕵️‍♀️ The ‘Truth’ Test: First Impressions

Fishnet is usually a disaster. In my experience, cheap fishnet lingerie tends to feel like plastic fruit netting—scratchy, stiff, and prone to ripping the second you look at it wrong. I ordered the Avidlove Fishnet Chemise expecting it to be a “one-time use” item that would end up in the trash after a single wear.

I was wrong about the durability. When I pulled it out of the package, it looked incredibly small. It looked like something made for a doll, not a human adult. I immediately thought, “There is no way this fits.”

But the stretch is aggressive. I pulled it, yanked it, and stretched it over my arm to test the tension. It didn’t snap. The material felt surprisingly soft, more like a thick nylon stocking than industrial netting. It’s not luxury fabric by any stretch of the imagination, but for a budget item, it passed the initial “will it disintegrate?” test with flying colors.

✂️ Build & Design Audit

Let’s look at how this thing is actually put together, because the photos can be deceptive.

The Material

The fabric is a high-stretch nylon/spandex blend. Unlike lace, which has a fixed pattern, this mesh is designed to expand. This is crucial because it means the garment relies entirely on your body to give it shape. Off the body, it looks like a shapeless tube. On the body, the diamond pattern of the fishnet expands to contour your curves.

The “Rhinestone” Illusion

If you look closely at the product images, some versions look like they have rhinestones. I need to be clear here: they aren’t real stones. They are faceted plastic bits glued or heat-pressed onto the nodes of the net. During my stress test (rubbing the fabric together), a couple of these sparkles fell off. They catch the light well in a dim room, but don’t expect Swarovski crystals.

Seams and Edges

The neck and armholes are reinforced with a slightly thicker band of elastic. This is the only structural part of the chemise. Everything else is just net. I noticed that the bottom hem isn’t really a hem; it’s just where the netting stops. This creates a raw edge look which is fine for this style, but it means you need to be careful not to catch the bottom loops on a zipper or jewelry.

⚙️ Real-World Performance

I wore this to see how it actually functions, not just how it looks in a posed mirror selfie.

The Struggle of Putting It On

Getting into this requires strategy. Because it’s a tube of netting, you have to bunch it up like you are putting on pantyhose, step in, and wiggle it up. You cannot just pull it over your head comfortably because the mesh catches on elbows, ears, and hair. Once it’s on, it snaps into place, but the process is not exactly graceful.

Temperature and Comfort

Surprisingly, it’s comfortable once it’s on. I expected it to itch, but the nylon is smooth. It doesn’t trap heat because, well, it’s full of holes. However, after wearing it for about 45 minutes, I noticed something: the “grid mark” effect. Because the fit is tight (compression style), when you take it off, you will look like a waffle for about 20 minutes until the skin impressions fade.

Durability Test

I snagged it on a fingernail. Usually, this causes a run (laddering) in tights. In this chemise, the hole just got slightly larger, but it didn’t unravel the whole garment. The knotting structure of the fishnet stops tears from spreading. I threw it in the wash (inside a laundry bag, cold cycle) and it came out fine. Do not put this in the dryer; the heat will destroy the elasticity.

📉 The Downsides (Critical)

It’s cheap and it’s sexy, but it has some significant flaws you need to be aware of.

1. Zero Support: This offers absolutely no lift. If you have a larger chest, the fishnet will just stretch over you. The “cups” shown in the design are purely visual; they provide no structural support. If you need support, you’ll need to wear a bra underneath, which ruins the backless look.
2. The “Sausage” Effect: Because this is a “One Size” item, the fit is a gamble. It relies on compression. If you carry weight in your midsection, the top and bottom bands of the chemise can roll up or dig in, creating bulges where you might not want them. It’s not as forgiving as a flowing babydoll.
3. Velcro is the Enemy: I cannot stress this enough. If this touches velcro, a zipper, or a cat’s claw, it will snag. While it doesn’t unravel completely, it looks messy quickly if you aren’t careful.

📊 Pros & Cons Breakdown

🥊 Head-to-Head: Avidlove vs. Traditional Lace

I compared this fishnet chemise against a standard lace babydoll.

Vs. Lace Babydoll:
Lace is static. If you buy a lace chemise that is too small, it won’t zip or it rips. This fishnet chemise eliminates that size anxiety because it just expands. However, lace looks more “classic” and elegant. The fishnet chemise is definitely more aggressive and edgy. If you want romance, go with lace. If you want a bold, body-con look, the fishnet wins.

Versatility:
The lace babydoll stays in the bedroom. This fishnet chemise actually works as a layering piece. I tried wearing it under a ripped pair of jeans and an oversized blazer, and it looked like a high-end fashion bodysuit. You can’t do that with a frilly lace nightgown.

👩‍⚖️ Expert Verdict

This is a specific product for a specific vibe.

Buy this if:
You are looking for something spicy that doesn’t cost a fortune. It is perfect for anyone who fluctuates in weight because the stretch is so forgiving. It’s also great for layering under clubwear or festival outfits.

Avoid this if:
You are looking for structural support or modest coverage. If you dislike tight clothing or have sensory issues with textured fabrics pressing on your skin, you will hate the feeling of this net.

Bottom line: For the price, it’s a fun, durable addition to the wardrobe, provided you treat it gently around sharp objects.
