Rhinestone backseam stockings - stockings discontinued by Leg Avenue - review by LambChop

These sexy black stockings are a steal at $5.99!! If you like seamed stockings, you'll like these. They're seamed, but with a sparkly surprise! Instead of a seam, there is a series of clear rhinestones down the leg. The rhinestones are spaced about every 1.5" down the back and look amazing. They are just sparkly enough to draw attention, but not so sparkly as to be tacky. These would be perfect for a holiday outfit, or just a night on the town with a little black dress. They DEFINITELY work with sexy costumes. These hose are also available in red. (Christmas stockings, anyone?!)

The stockings are very soft and very sheer nylon. This fabric is easy to snag and run, so if you like these, stock up! Treat them gently, though, and you should get several uses out of them. The construction is quality (as lightweight hose go). The rhinestones are glued on, but they are neatly glued on, with no visible glue. Hand wash and drip dry, or take your chances with these in a lingerie bag in the washer on gentle. Other than the stones down the back, there is no indication of front or back by the shape of these stockings. They are a basic flat-tube hose shape, with a straight toe seam.

I wore these with this sexy garter and what a winning combo that was! Garters are not necessary, because these are intended as thigh-high stockings, with a wide (but soft) elastic top band. I found these only slightly tight, but if they were any tighter, I'd have a huge thigh-muffin-top. I like pairing these with the garter, because I can slide the stockings down a little lower so they're not so tight, but still stay up. Besides, the garter just adds to the sexy factor! I much prefer this style of band to the heavy lace often seen on thigh-highs. This looks so much more elegant and is definitely more comfortable. Band style is obviously a matter of personal preference, and again, it helps if you like garters,but keep this in mind as you shop.

My experience: Wear, swoon, repeat.

These are still sexy, and still in one piece (two pieces?) after a few wearings. I've washed them in a lingerie bag on gentle and air-dried.
