The netting is made of VERY soft, yet VERY strong material. It feels awesome on the skin, and is put together very well. Used it as lingerie (just like the picture in the ad :), and will be using it this summer as beach dress over swimsuit. Really impressed with how well it is put together. Machine washed it (on delicate) with no problems. (drip dry) - fits all sizes - when you take it out of the package, it looks like it would maybe fit a large barbie doll, but it very comfortably fits a 5'-11" 180 lb curvy woman. I feel this will last years of use.
