Cuban heel stockings with back seam - stockings discontinued by Coquette - review by mistressg

These came in pretty standard hosiery packaging; in a plastic sleeve, images of the stockings on the front and back, paperboard to keep them folded on the inside.




These stockings are about 29" long, unstretched; the red band around the thigh is 6" long, unstretched. These stockings have a red toe and red band at the thigh. The heel and the backseam match, they are a less solid/deep red. I like that the backseam on these is not super thick and defined, like one wide solid line. I've gotten some backseam hosiery in the past that just looked like it had a thick stripe going down the back, which wasn't very flattering or cute. The black body of these seems somewhat sheer when worn, as does the first 2" or so of the red band where it meets the black. I like that, and I think it adds a nice depth to the colors and the overall look.



The length of these fits me very well, I don't have to pull to get them where I want them, and I don't feel like they'll just tear or snag trying to put them on. I love how these don't seem to roll down on their own, like hosiery often does. I love that about these, because that makes them great for wearing with OR without a garter belt; you don't have to pair these with a garter belt if you don't want to, but it can add to the look of them.


I have no complaints about these stockings. They fit very comfortably, the thigh bands stretch and fit without being overly snug or rolling down. My thighs are about 20" around, and these stockings stretch to fit over them without giving me a muffin top on my thighs, which is an issue that I run into with hosiery.

The fabric is soft, comfortable, not at all itchy or bothersome to my sensitive skin. Of course, handwashing would be best with these, and I would keep them away from the dryer.

These would be great for costumes, wearing with lingerie, or wearing out with a nice outfit.
