Lace top stockings white - thigh highs discontinued by Fantasy Lingerie - review by married with children

Lets start with the packaging. This will show up in the typical package that thigh highs and stockings come in. There is nothing to distinguish this from any other pair of thigh highs sold in the US. The front of the envelope shows the thigh highs on a models legs. The back of the package shows the same models legs, but a view from behind. The back of the envelope also has a sizing chart and cleaning instructions. On the inside of the package you will find the thigh highs wrapped around a thin card stock insert, sealed in plastic. This is pretty discreet, as it will fit in with all your other thigh high and stocking packages.

These are great additions to your lingerie collection. They accent your legs and do not need a garter belt to stay up. These are made from 100% Nylon. They feel like your typical stockings. I think they feel soft. My wife also likes the way they feel against her skin. They are in no way itchy or irritating.

To care for these, you need to hand wash in cold water and drip dry. You can use nonchlorine bleach when needed. I am not a fan of hand wash only clothing. It just adds to the chore list around the house. And with two little boys, that chore list is long enough as it is. Plus when you hand wash something, that means that you need to drip dry it as well. And most of the lingerie we have purchased that has ended up being a hand wash only, are not something that we want sitting around the house drip drying where the kids can see it. These are ok being hung around the house drying. The kids just think they are socks for mom.

These are almost see through. They add color to her legs, but not a lot. The lace top is nice, not overly lacy. Neither my wife or I like the look of the frilly lacy lingerie. This one is just about right for both of us. The lace is about 3 inches tall. Just enough to look good, but not so much that it takes over the outfit. The lace design is hard to explain. It looks like swirls.

I could not find any runs in the stockings. They seem to be of good quality. She has only worn them a few times, and never around sharp objects or something else that can catch them and cause a run. So far they have held up great. I don't see these lasting long being worn outside of the house, but for our kind of use these should last long enough to get our money out of them.

My wife has worn these with some of her white lingerie outfits. She has never tried them with any other color, and I don't think they would look good with any other colors. She has never had a problem with them staying put. She is about 115 pounds and 5 foot 4 inches. We purchased these in size B. She falls in the sizing chart on the very low end for B. I was a little worried about whether these would fit her or be too big. We always have problems ordering clothing on line, as the sizing is always off by just enough to cause problems. But these fit pretty well. They were just a touch too long, but they still looked good on her legs. And that is the whole point, right?

We have washed these a few times. And they still look like they are a new pair of stockings. I was worried about how many washings we would get out of these before they started to get runs. But so far no problems at all. I was also worried about her fingernails causing a run or two. She does not have long fingernails, but they are still longer then mine and can cause a problem with stockings. They have in the past. But so far they have not even caused a scratch in these. So either they are super strong, or we have just been lucky so far.

B Sizing Chart:

5' 4" - 5' 10" 125-165 pounds

So as you can see, she is on the very low end of the height chart, and not even on the weight chart.

Overall these are a great value, even better when you get them on sale. The only problem I had with them was that they were not made in the USA. They were made in Taiwan.
