Stockings for bean poles.

Fit:
I am about a size 20 right now. I am squarely in the middle of the Seven Til Midnight one size plus size range. Their size chart lists that this will fit:

Size 16 - 22 Bust 40 - 50 Waist 36 - 44 Hip 42 - 56

I am right now about 38" at the waist and 48" at the hip. Now, I am very curvy and muscular in the leg, so that impacts how these fit on me. I found them to be fine through the calf and right above the knee, but they were tight over my thighs. It wasn't a huge deal except the lace band at the top bunches up really bad.








Additionally, I am 6' tall with a 34" inseam. Most stockings are too short on me. These actually have plenty of room length wise for me. In fact they could even work for someone who has a 2" longer inseam than I do.

The toes on these impressed me because normally my toes slip through the fishnet, but with these they didn't at all.





Material and Care:
These are made from nylon and spandex. Nylon is a hypoallergenic material, so these should work well for just about anyone. I wash these in a mesh bag on delicate and then dry flat and they hold up well. Drying them in the dryer can shorten the lifespan of the fabric, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I have included a close up of the material.



Packaging:
These came in a nice cardboard box with the product photo on the front. Not the most discreet picture ever, but there isn't nudity either. I thought it would be a nice package for gift giving because it looks a little more classy than the cardboard sleeves that most hosiery comes in.

I find these to be uncomfortable for me to wear for long periods of time because of how the elastic rolls and bunches up. I like the look and that they fit my long legs, but a grippy elastic would have been a huge improvement. As they are now, they are literally a pain to wear. I love how sturdy these are as far as material and stitching because I can be hard on stockings. I just don't know how often I will end up wearing them unless I loose more weight.

I had to rip the lace top off of these to wear them. They no roll even worse, but I have garter belts that make them usable. I will not be buying these again.
