Overview:
My stockings arrived in a cardboard sleeve that has "Desire Hosiery/ Lace Top Sheer Thigh High Stockings" on the front with a picture of the product on the model from the front. There is also a sticker on the front that says "1X". The back has a picture of the product on a model viewed from the back, the logo, care information, and size chart.

The envelope opens easily from the bottom. Inside, the stockings are packages in a clear plastic envelope that is closed via glue strips that come off easily. The stockings are wound around a card stock rectangle. I loved this, as I hate it when the card stock is stuck in a stocking.

The stockings themselves are very, very sheer. These are one of the sheerest sets I have owned. Additionally, these are supposed to have a silicone band according to the product description on the site, but they don't have any kind of silicone band. The top band is just a lace and the lace is looser than the stockings themselves, so it does nothing to help them stay up.

They are moderately soft, but not the best I have ever owned. I find them just a bit scratchy, but to be fair, I have extremely sensitive skin. Others will probably find them soft. I find that these are very easy to tear. I have to be super delicate with them because my cuticles being dry can rip them.


Fit:
The size chart on the back lists these to fit people 5'-5'4" tall who weigh 170-220 lbs. This size chart isn't listed on here, so when I ordered these, I went off of my dress size for Fantasy Lingerie. This was a huge mistake because I am no where near the size that these are made for. I am 6' tall and weight about 270 lbs. I would have never ordered these if I knew what the size chard for a 1X was.

I will say that the size chart on the back of the package is accurate. These come up about 3" above my knee which is way too short for me. There is still plenty of room around the band at where they sit on my leg for them to stretch wider, but there is no way for me to pull these up any higher.

Unstretched from lace band to toe these are 29", and they stretch to 41", but that is without them being stretched width wise. On me, from toe to where they stopped at my thighs was about 34". I need my stockings to fit 42". The lace band stretches to 28" wide. The band is also 3" tall.

Care:
These are made from nylon as are most stockings. The packaging recommends that these be only hand washed in cold water and to use non-chlorine bleach. It also says to allow these to drip dry. I would follow this exactly because of how fragile these seem.

I can't really find a way to wear these yet. They are just way too short. I may have to trash them, because I don't have any short friends that these will fit either.

These haven't held up well. I've worn them once and the lace tops started ripping off. These really aren't worth it.
