These thigh highs are beautiful and sheer but will probably won't last very long. Special care has to be given when putting them on and taking them off to prevent snags and runs. They go well with many different outfits and compliment a variety of sizes in legs and thighs.

The Sheer White Thigh Highs by Leg Avenue arrived in the standard packaging most hosiery comes in, a clear wrapper with a thin piece of cardboard inside. The wrapper shows the sheerness and the color, while keeping them folded and neat during shipment. Care instructions for these thigh highs include hand washing in warm water, only non chlorine bleach when needed, drip dry, and avoid ironing. They are made of 100% nylon.
These hose begin at the toe with a seam running across the toe. They are solid sheer until you get to 2 1/2 inches from the top at which point there is a thick solid band of sheerness. They are 26 1/2 inches long and can be stretched to about 45 inches long.
While having these hose on, they are smooth and feel soft to the skin. They came to my thighs and stayed up after being put on without the use of garters. They are one size fit most and are designed to be worn by people weighing between 90-160 pounds. I am 5'7" and am approximately 49 inches from the tips of my toes to my thighs. I fall within the weight that they are designed for, on the upper end, I will add. They were a perfect fit for me. The thick band at the top are about 6 inches around and will stretch to about 18 inches around, thus fitting a wide range of legs.
These thigh highs can be worn with lingerie or with dresses for going out as long as you are careful not to pick or run them. They are pretty and will go with many colors of outfits and heels.
I was only able to give them 2 stars even though I really liked them. I feel like they are cheaply made and will only make it through a couple of uses before having to be trashed due to them being ruined. There are much higher quality thigh highs on the Eden site so if you are looking for something that will last, you might want to go there to find something that is made with a higher quality of materials.
Experience
I wore these with the I DO Baby Doll [ https://www.edenfantasys.com/sexy-lingerie/bridal-collection/i-do-babydoll-and-g-string ] for the complete white look. It was a hit with hubby as he has just recently discovered his love for hosiery on me. I really liked the feel of these while I had them on but when I took them off, I noticed they already had a snag in them. Since I am not the best at keeping everything smooth and silky, I'm afraid that they won't last very long around here.
Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore27 days after original review
I really did like these hose but they are too high maintenance for me. I've only worn them about 3-4 times and they are picked to pieces. I think they are headed to the nearest trashcan but I will be ordering more of them. They were good for the price and worth having to replace.
