Dreamgirl Plus-Size Sheer Nylon Thigh-Highs with Lace Top

Most plus-size hosiery gets one shape and one afterthought. These are sheer black nylon thigh-highs with a lace top, sold in the Queen range, and they give you a smooth leg line and a lace band at the thigh that stays put on its own. Wear them with a garter belt, a lingerie set, or a dress you'd like to feel a little more dressed up in.

They don't come with a thong, so you'll need to pick your own. The lace top is the part that matters when you're deciding how to wear them. If you plan to clip them to a garter belt, check that the band is wide enough for the clip to sit securely. Without one, the lace is meant to hold them up, which asks for a snug, comfortable fit at the thigh.

Sheer nylon is delicate stuff, though. It snags if you look at it wrong, so putting them on is a small ritual, not a rush.

Picking your size

For hosiery, hips and thighs decide how these sit. Measure your hips at the widest point, and if you can, the fullest part of your upper thigh, since that's where the lace lands. Hold the tape level, snug but not tight. If you're comfortably inside the range, one size should work. If you're near the top, handle them more gently, because sheer nylon is fragile when it's stretched to its limits. Leg length counts too. If you're very tall or very short, the lace may sit higher or lower than you expect.

Putting them on

Take your rings off and check that your nails are smooth. Work a little moisturizer into rough skin and let it absorb, so the nylon doesn't catch. Gather each stocking down to the toe, slide your foot in, and roll the nylon up the leg in small sections instead of one long pull. Smooth out wrinkles as you go and settle the lace at the thigh.

Care

Check the label first. If you're unsure, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and press the water out in a towel without wringing. Hang or lay flat to dry, away from direct heat. If you use a machine, a mesh laundry bag helps, and so does keeping hosiery away from hooks and velcro. Fold them in a drawer away from rough surfaces. If you wear them often, a spare pair is a smart buy.

How we ship it

The stockings come in an unmarked, plain-looking package. Open it at the kitchen table or the bedroom door, since only the inside tells the story.
