How was my Red Stockings experience?

Well, my first impression of the item is that I'm glad I purchased it as a match for my new babydoll. I was a little concerned the shades of red may end clashing, as their product images appeared to be a little different on my display, but their colors matched up nicely when compared in person. Since they're both made by Spice Lingerie, it's almost as if they're intended to be worn together - and I certainly have no problems with that!

Putting the stockings on, I felt some concern, fearing I may end up ripping a hole in the fabric in the process. Under the lace border along the top the stockings are very mesh-like, and needing to pinch the stockings at certain places to un-bunch the material so they could be pulled up my legs was just a little cause for concern for me. However, do note I'm always anxious trying lingerie items on for the first time; I don't want my klutzy self to end up ruining any lovely lingerie!

Despite my worries, the stockings held and were pulled up just past my knee. Made from Nylon and Spandex, these stockings are made to stretch and can support the sizing of a variety of body types, but as with most "One size fits most" products I fall near the line where I'm no longer considered a part of "most." If Spice Lingerie's sizing chart also applies to their stockings, they're OS size is meant to hold 88-154 lbs (40-70 kg). They fit me, even if it's a stretch, while my weight is actually a little higher than this limit. It just goes to show the elastic properties of both spandex and nylon! It is worth noting that the more the stockings stretch around your legs, the more transparent the mesh becomes. The stockings appear a little more see-through around my thighs than they are on my feet as a result, but this isn't an issue for me.

All-in-all, I'm happy with my purchase. I'm glad to have some sexy red stockings - something about wearing the color red makes you feel like a foxy vixen! - and they work for their intended purpose nicely: to go with my babydoll. It'll also be great to have them on hand if I get any more red lingerie in the future that doesn't have stockings included in the set.

The only true negative for me is really just a nitpick; I'm not particularly fond of how the product's image shows the stockings being worn without garters for support. As I was wearing them without garters, the stockings had a tendency to slide down below my knees, although I was expecting this from the beginning as it is with most stockings. A nice red garterbelt to fix this will definitely need to be on my To-Get list!
