Lace top fence net stockings - stockings discontinued by Leg Avenue - review by Jul!a

What is it, and why are you telling me about it?

These are a pair of thigh highs from Leg Avenue, and I got a whole bunch a while back. Of course I was able to find something about them I wanted to talk about.

Fair enough, what does the packaging look like? What are they made of, and how do I take care of them?

The packaging looks like your typical Leg Avenue packaging in the not envelope variety. There's a picture of a model wearing them on the front, and the back has sizing, care, and materials. These are 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex and should be hand washed in cold water and tumble dried on low. Given the fact that they can go through the dryer, I'd say it's a safe bet you can run them through the washer as well, but do that at your own risk.

What's the sizing like?

These are a one size item, which according to Leg Avenue means between 90-160 pounds. So helpful, I know. Looking at an expanded sizing chart gives you a more general idea of a size 6-11. I'm about a size 6 or so and my inseam is about 29". I was able to pull these all the way up to my butt, and they didn't muffin top at all.

Sweet! Can you tell me more about the design and how they fit?

Sure! The concept is simple; lace topped thigh highs with fence netting. What's neat is that unlike most other lace topped thigh highs that I've encountered where they rely on the lace part to keep them up, there's a thin band where the lace meets the netting and that's actually what holds everything up. The plus side is that the lace is looser and doesn't really muffin top. The down side is that the lace can sag a bit and make it feel like the stockings are falling down when they actually aren't. The toes are also reinforced as well so you don't have to worry about your toes popping out of the stockings.

Now I could ramble off a bunch of measurements about the stockings, but the only one just off the stockings that's super important is the height of the lace top (3") and maybe the depth of the toe (3/4"). Instead I'm going to tell you that I was able to get these to lay comfortably where I like to wear them (about 20") and even a bit higher (about 22 1/2"). That was about 24" and 28" up my leg respectively. The only problem with wearing them higher up was that the lace top rolled in the back, but that could very likely have been solved by adding a garter belt. I think the best part though was that even higher up my thighs there was no muffin topping; either at the top of the lace or at the band where the lace met the netting.

Awesome! Have any pictures?

As always. Here's a shot of the toes, the thighs (measurements listed above), and a shot down my leg.

Lately I've been feeling more and more lackluster about any kind of thigh high stocking, preferring instead to go for something like tights instead. I actually really liked these. I had no muffin topping, they were comfortable, and I think the only thing I didn't like was that the lace part fell like it was falling down when the stockings weren't really falling down. With a lot of excess movement they probably would have fallen but they stayed up during sex with no problems. There's really nothing bad I can find to say about these at all.
