Soft stretch mesh with sparkles is like very strong panty hose, very sheer, and slightly slippery. Stockings made to stretch widthwise and not so much in the vertical direction.  These pull up style body stockings are all net with narrow elastic in the legs and around the rib cage. Sizes are based on U.S. panty hose sizes.
 
They can be used with bra/belt set to create a dress look.
 
For those with long torsos, you may want to go up a size. 
 
Sizing A (small) - high hip 35-39 inches
Sizing B (medium) - high hip 40-45 inches
Sizing Q (large) - high hip 46-49 inches
Sizing Q+ (XL) - high hip 50-53
 
To attach to a costume bra or bra under a midriff top: sew small hooks to the inside of the bra and simply hook the top of the body stocking to the bra. If the net is sized correctly, the top of the stocking will not tear and will last many performances.  The hooks work best in the center front and near the top of the side straps.  I like to face the hook part towards the body.  I also like to add a hook in the very back but it isn't necessary for most dancers.
