These thigh highs are absolutely beautiful! The packaging is a simple paperboard box with a picture of the stockings on the front. There is also a little cutout that shows the color of your thigh highs. The back of the packaging has sizing information. When I opened them, the tights were wrapped around another piece of paperboard and enclosed in a little plastic envelope. Upon taking them out, they look small, but they stretch out to fit. There was no specific smell to the product. The sheer fabric has a soft, comfortable feel to it and it feels really good against your skin. When I started to bunch them up to put them on I noticed that the front of the material stuck to the back of the material. I figured out that it was because of the hot-fixed rhinestones, I discovered that some of the glue had leaked through the thin fabric. This worried me at first, but they all came apart with no problems, I just had to go really slowly when gathering them up. Once I got them on, there was a long line of pretty, sparkly rhinestones up the back of my legs. They remind me of vintage style seamed stockings, just with a shimmery twist!

The tops of the tights were not as stretchy as the rest of the fabric. Because of my larger size thighs I had problems with them rolling and making my thighs bulge-y. I wear a size 16 jeans, so I do have somewhat bigger thighs. I could get them up and they stayed without rolling off (the tops just rolled up), even while having sex. They were slightly uncomfortably tight, but not as bad as some thigh highs I have worn. Other than that I thought these were lovely!

As for care, I would suggest hand-washing and air drying because of the rhinestones. I store these in a organza bag, like I do with other thigh highs, simply to keep them together as a pair. They are a good quality piece, I know I will get a lot of good use of them.

Personally, I wish a plus size option had been available. The stockings stretched high enough and were very comfortable...except for the tops. I have large thighs and the tops were rather tight. I had thigh muffin tops, which bothered me, but my bf was too stunned by my whole outfit to really even notice.

I wore them with the Black Sophia chemise and thong and the set was received to rave reviews ;)
