Dreamgirl Sheer Thigh-Highs with Silicone Lace Top Light

Stockings that stay up on their own are a small luxury of a different sort, the practical kind. These sheer thigh-highs have a silicone lace top, a band that grips your thigh, so you can walk, dance and sit down without checking if they've slipped. No garter belt needed, though you can still wear one if you like the look.

The legs are sheer, so they sit close to the skin and give a smooth, polished finish. The lace at the top is pretty on its own, which means you can wear them under a short skirt and let the lace peek out, or wear them with nothing else at all. They come in a light shade, a soft neutral that goes with almost anything.

Key Features:
- Sheer thigh-highs – a smooth, light weave
- Silicone lace top – a stay-up band with a lace finish
- Light colour – a soft shade that suits most outfits
- One size – made for a broad range of bodies
- Thong sold separately – pair with your own favourite

Size Specs

These are One Size (OS), meant for sizes 2 to 14, cup B/C, weight 90 to 160 lbs. The bust range is 32 to 38 in., the waist is 24 to 31 in., and the hips are 34 to 40 in. Those figures are the whole-body range, but what matters most with thigh-highs is how wide the band is relative to your thigh. If you're toward the top of the range, the silicone will grip firmly. If you're near the bottom, expect a snug but gentle hold.

Making the silicone work

Silicone grips skin, so clean, dry skin is key. Lotion, oil and body shimmer make the band slide, and so does heavy sweat. Put your moisturiser on first and let it soak in completely before you dress. If you're wearing perfume or powder, keep it away from your thighs.

Roll each stocking down to the toe like you're rolling up a sock, slide your foot in, and unroll it slowly up your leg. Smooth out any wrinkles from the ankle upward. Keep your nails and rings away from the sheer fabric, since a snag turns into a run quickly.

Materials: Sheer fabric with a silicone lace top.

Care

Hand wash in cool water with mild soap, rinse and hang to dry. Keep the silicone band clean by wiping it with a damp cloth, because dust and fluff reduce the grip. Don't use fabric softener, which coats the silicone and makes it slippery. Store them flat or loosely rolled, away from jewellery and rough surfaces.

Styling the lace top

The lace top is part of the look, so show it. Pair the stockings with a short skirt, a mini dress, a robe or a pair of high-cut briefs. A garter belt or suspender straps are optional. If you want to wear a thong with them, the one in the photo is a separate style, sold separately, and any thong you already own will work. Keep a spare pair in your bag if you're going out, since sheer hosiery always seems to catch on something at the worst time.

These ship in a plain unmarked box, so the outside gives away nothing.
