These stockings have a very loose diamond shaped pattern. This makes it exceptionally difficult to wear because your toes tend to snag on the holes. On top of that, the toe part has NO REINFORCEMENT. It is uncomfortable to wear since the stockings just end in that same diamond pattern all through-out without any extra reinforcement for the toes, the stockings get between your toes and the like.

It is also extremely flimsy because when I applied garters to it, the material ended up running on me. It also tore on some parts, and if even one of the diamonds were ruined, it became quite unsightly. It has such a distinct pattern, so if you actually ruin something, it becomes much too obvious. It is quite stretchy though, because you can easily pull it all the way up to your thighs. It does tend to roll down though.

The material is also surprisingly itchy. I am not sure if my skin is just sensitive since the material is really just nylon, but I found it uncomfortable against my skin. It could be the pattern I guess.

I only managed to wear these stockings twice before I had to throw them away. Definitely one of the worst hosiery I ever received! I even forgot to take pictures of it because it got ruined pretty quickly. Most of the tears happened while I was wearing them with garters, but it was pretty okay in the wash.

When washing, I just place it inside a lingerie laundry bag and throw it in the washing machine. Just make sure you set it to "Delicate". I usually wash it on a cold setting along with my lingerie and hosiery.

My suggestion: I suggest wearing black tights underneath this to make it a more comfortable wear. It's really more for a one time costume use than the type of hosiery that will last you.
