I have recently joined this site. I feel fairly confident in replying to this post. My early years as a loader and focus puller were littered with Nets. I joined the industry around the time of Barry Lyndon. John Alcott shot a few commercials in South Africa around that time. We started out with black or white nets on the front - though black was the most popular. The problem with nets on the front is 1) Light hitting the nets would make the effect uneven
2) Wide angle was a problem as you saw the net.
3) The effect is more noticeable on the front.
We changed to the back.
The main problem is if it slips you might not see it. So when checking the gate also check the net.
We bought various stockings from women's stores. The best is to try various options
