Black lace top fishnet thigh high - thigh highs discontinued by DreamGirl - review by winterseve

I chose to buyout the plus size fishnets in black. I don't have any thigh highs in fishnets, just crotchless and regular pantyhose. I decided to take a gamble and won! Dreamgirl has made the most comfortable fishnets I've worn. As a heavy woman, I went with the plus size. One size can work because I'm so short, but plus is usually more comfortable. These are not stay up fishnets, so you will need to use garters of some sort. Just out of the package they measured 21" of leg and 3" of a beautiful lace. The lace laying down is 6" wide. One of the reasons I like fishnets is that they are fairly stretchy. These are comfortable to stretch. My legs are short so the holes are not very large. They could easily stretch to fit most plus size women. However, I like my stockings to be thigh highs, and tall plus size women may not care for their length. They would make a just above the knee for anyone over 5'9" is my guess. I am only 5' so for me they were perfect.

The fishnets are composed of 100% nylon. The material is fairly warm to me. I could not wear these during summer. I don't know if it's just me, but fishnets tend to be warmer than sheer type stockings. The material also made it very comfortable. It was not scratchy in the least. They are soft and pliable. As with most fishnets, the toes are not enclosed or modified. The lattice-work of the fishnets extends to the toes. Mine did tend to poke out a bit between the holes after extended wear or when wearing a pair of high heels. There is no back seam to these, just one continuous leg.

The package is a modified envelope where you can open the bottom or tear out the top to get the cardboard slip holding the pantyhose out. It is not discreet as there is a mostly naked woman on the front and back of the package. The picture is even the same pose, just with the woman at a different angle. She is, however, a beautiful plus size woman. The front picture also shows the whole stocking including the toes. As recommended by the manufacturer, these stockings should be hand washed separately in cold water. They should be hung to dry or line dried.

I put these on and paired it with my new Midnight Affair Chemise. My husband loved the pair and enjoyed pulling them off me after caressing my legs. It is a good thing that I wasn't wearing a garter belt because he would have probably ripped these babies off. They don't stay up long on their own so I'll be using a garter belt for going out in these bad boys. The only thing that could make them better is to have silicone lining on the lace.

I love these fishnets! I will be replacing them when they die. Handwashing works best to hold their integrity but if you wash them with items that won't risk a snag on delicate they should hold up well. I can't wait to get more!
