Cross pattern jacquard pantyhose - pantyhose discontinued by Baci - review by SMichelle

When I first saw these stockings, I nearly passed them over. Don't get me wrong, I loved them at first sight, but... one size fits most? I didn't want to spend the money only be disappointed. In the end, I chose to take the chance, and boy am I glad that I did! I love these stockings.

The Basics:
Baci brings us this gorgeous, sexy pair of stockings. The stockings are pretty basic, yet they're still oh so sexy!

The main body of the design is a fishnet pattern. I know, fishnets? Gorgeous, but a bit overdone. So what makes this pair of fishnets special? The gorgeous crisscross pattern that goes up the legs. This pattern makes my legs look AMAZING. I don't generally care for the way my legs look, but when I saw them in this pair of stockings? I couldn't help but say WOW!

Not only do these stockings make my legs look great, but the control top also makes my waist look excellent. The control top doesn't pull in my waist as much as I might like, but it does help a bit. For $8.99, I'm certainly not complaining.

Another excellent thing about these stockings is the feet! The feet are fully reinforced! Now, this does make it so that you probably won't want to wear these stockings with a pair of open-toed heels, but it makes the stockings much more comfortable to wear, and I believe that it'll help them to hold up to the test of time. Another great thing about the stockings is that the crisscross pattern continues down over the top of the foot, so I can wear these with shoes that show the top of my feet, without worrying about ruining the look.

The...Wearing?:
I like to wear these with dresses, and honestly, I see many different situations to wear them in. They're dressy enough that you can wear them on a hot date. They're sophisticated enough that you can wear them to the office (when paired with the right outfit). They're hot enough that you can seduce you're lover in them (though I prefer my lingerie pantyhose to be crotchless, and these are NOT crotchless). You can even wear these on casual outings with a cute dress.

However you wear them, I'd recommend pairing them a cute pair of heels, or even a nice pair of flats.

It should be said that getting these on can be a bit tricky at first. This is due to the fact that feet are marked, so there's a very clear way that these are supposed to go. It doesn't take much effort, but you do need to stop and think about the way that you're putting them on.

The Material:
According to the package, these are made out of 95% Nylon and 5% Spandex. The material feels surprisingly durable, due in part to the fact that it's fairly thick. That being said, the material still "breathes", so I feel comfortable wearing them on a warm day.

The material itself feels amazing against my sensitive skin. It does't cause me to itch, or feel uncomfortable, at all.

The Care:
It's recommended that you hand wash these in cold water, and then allow them to drip dry. I would recommend sticking to the washing recommendations as, though sturdy, these are still fairly delicate.

The Sizing:
Baci has made these available in One Size Fits Most.

One size fits most should fit someone with a 35" inseam, a 24-32" waist, and 34-40" hips. The weight recommendation for these stockings is between 90 and 160lbs.

I am 5'6" with an inseam of 33". Height wise, these fit me great. I feel like they could fit someone a few inches taller than me as well. Shorter girls, don't worry! These should fit you just fine, too. It's their stretch-ability factor that makes them tall-girl friendly.

My waist is a 32", and my hips are a 40". All fits great there, too. These could probably fit someone with a slightly larger waist, but I worry that anyone larger than say a 34" waist is going to get a muffin top from the way the band sits.

Now, thigh size. My thighs are 26" at the widest point. The OS does not recommend a thigh size, but it is important. These could fit someone with slightly larger thighs than I have, but 27" is probably the maximum.

The Packaging:
These stockings come packaged in a slim cardboard box. The cardboard box has a photograph of the model on both the front and back. The model is topless, but she is covering her breasts with her arms. The box offers minimal information about the product, but for a pair of stockings? Not much information is needed.

The Quality:
Have I told you how much I love these? I do! They're fantastic. The quality is exceptionally good.

I love these stockings! I've worn them many times under my dresses, and they've held up amazingly. They also make me feel unbelievably sexy.
