Well, if you are proportioned properly, these stockings will give you all the elegance and sex appeal of classic back seemed stockings and garters without the fuss of traditional garter belts. However, if you are short, like me, these garters are going to be way too long and since it’s all one piece, they are not adjustable.

First the good: These are decent, well made, sexy stockings. As stockings go, they are fairly sturdy. It took a good deal of pinching and pulling to get the back seam exactly where I wanted it and though I had to be careful because of my nails, these stockings suffered no ill effects from all the tugging. Even being one piece, these are not really any more complicated to put on that your average pair of pantyhose.
Unfortunately, because the length of the garters cannot be adjusted, my 4’11” frame simply doesn’t work with them. The garters just hang loosely and do nothing to hold the stockings up. However, if you are of average height or taller, I imagine you’ll be just fine.

Once I got the back seam into place, I didn’t have much trouble keeping it there. I did have trouble with the lace top. Apparently my thighs are a little too big and though it fit around, it just wanted to roll instead of laying flat and looking pretty.

If you read my other reviews you will begin to see that I don’t like sending things back but I do like altering to make things work. I liked these stockings enough that I decided they were worth keeping and wearing with a more traditional garter belt. So I snipped off the lace attached garters and now I just wear them as normal stockings. With proper garters the lace band around the top is far more likely to stay in place.
