A '''bodystocking'''  or '''body stocking''' is a one-piece [[skin-tight garment]] that covers the torso, legs and sometimes the arms of the wearer. It is a [[foundation garment]] or an article of [[lingerie]] usually made from a [[sheer fabric]] similar to that used for [[stockings]] or [[pantyhose]], or from [[fishnet]], [[lace]] or an opaque material, or a variation of these materials.<ref name="voices">{{Cite web|url=http://voices.yahoo.com/bodystockings-sexy-lingerie-many-occasions-695889.html|title=Bodystockings: Sexy Lingerie for Many Occasions |website=Yahoo Voices |first1=Victoria |last1=Sanders |date=Dec 10, 2007 |accessdate=26 October 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140619123326/http://voices.yahoo.com/bodystockings-sexy-lingerie-many-occasions-695889.html|archivedate=19 June 2014}}</ref> A bodystocking differs from a [[unitard]], which is worn as an outfit or article of clothing, and a [[leotard]], which is used as a practice garment or performance costume for [[acrobatics|acrobats]], [[gymnasts]] and other similar performers. Designed to be revealed, but not to be too revealing, bodystockings may be worn as undergarments by performers such as [[belly dancer]]s and [[exotic dancer]]s.
