This arrived in the mail in a discreet brown box. Inside, they were in a clear plastic wrap along with a piece of cardboard inside. This pair of stockings were slightly different than I expected as I thought the strap part criss-crossed. You can still make it go that way but it does fit tighter. I was still excited when I pulled them out though. I loved the fishnet look and they felt great.

Before trying these on; I put them in the wash with some other lingerie and delicate items. This pair of stockings do best with sudsy water as it's made of nylon and spandex. I have had no problems with putting these in on a warm delicate wash and then putting them in the dryer on an air-dry cycle.

So when I first put these on, I thought the sides would automatically criss-cross but you have to turn them that way if you want it like that. It still doesn't look quite like the picture either. I've worn them both ways now and like both. The garter belt feels great and not tight at all. It has a lot of stretch to it. They stay up great and don't slide down at all either. This pair is my second pair from here and I have fallen in love with it. Oth pairs.
