A classic staple
All in all, these are a sexy pair of classic stockings that everyone should own a pair of - especially for under 5 dollars.

These where bought on a whim when I was buying a few other things on here. The only worry I had was sizing; I have muscular legs that needs plus size/queen. One Size Fits stockings, for most part, have always cut into my thighs, are uncomfortably tight, and muffin top like no other. I found these to be extremely comfy; they didn't cut into my skin, and no muffin top at all, not even a little bit.
The only "big" issue I see with them is what other reviews have mentioned. They do have a habit of rolling down constantly. If you wanted to wear these without using garters, I wouldn't bother buying them. Like I already said, I bought them at the spur of the moment without any plan for how to wear them, so I don't mind wearing them with garters. Plus, I think wearing garters with these adds to their retro look. The only other issue is that it does have a seam that goes across the toes, so wearing them with open-toed shoes isn't really a option.
Besides those two issues, I love these. Most "back seamed" stockings nowadays have just a black line going up the back. These have a real sewn seam going up the back, which makes them look more true to the retro back seam stockings of the past. And the sewn seam doesn't cause any discomfort - you can't even feel it. They have pretty flowery lace tops to them as well.
They come in your standard packaging. Cardboard, picture of stockings, and plastic covering. They are made from nylon, like the majority of stockings. The are as durable and strong as other nylons, so they should be handled with care when putting them on, because they can run just as easily. They should be washed like other nylon stockings: hand wash or tossed into a lingerie bag and into the washer on gentle cycle (if you have hand wash cycle go with that), warm or cold water. Drip dry, avoid the dryer.

Follow-up commentary
9 months after original review
I still like these as much as I did when I first got them. They held up really well, especially considering that I always end up getting a run or a snag quickly. Took a long time to do, but I finally ended up with a run in these. Since I liked them enough, I'll be adding them to my next order.

It would be nice to have stockings that did not roll down, wouldn't it?
-
Yes it would! And it would be nice if the ones that do stay up more didn't have to have those silicon bands in the tops. There not the most uncomfortable thing but stockings feel better without the bands!

Thank you for the review!
