I was super stoked when these came back into stock and immediately bought a pair for the wife. They were $9.99 when I purchased them. The NEXT day EF has them free with certain purchases. Strike one! The wife happily fulfills my stockings fetish and I always buy her stockings. These ones she needed. I thought. The picture showed an almost sheer stocking with a shine that, to me, made me think they had a silky texture. Boy was I wrong. I opened the box when it arrived and we went to the bedroom.

She was full of excitement and pulled the stockings out of the box. Oooing and awwwwing at the picture, she pulled them out of the package, which was SUPER thin plastic. When she unwrapped them from the cardboard insert, I could tell right away that I got ripped. And so did the stockings. At some point in making these stockings, they frayed some stitching. She loved the vibrant red tops and the red back seam that always makes her legs look AMAZINGLY long. She put them on and just lay there unimpressed with the stockings. Why?

- One size fits most (doesn't fit 5'10" 210lbs.)
- VERY VERY little sheerness to the stockings. More like opaque!
- Stitching at top was frayed a bit
- The material felt rough and irritated her skin.

Needless to say, these ended up hitting the floor and we pulled out a trusty pair of GEORGE brand thigh highs that we buy from Wal-mart for half the price. I feel I wasted my excitement on this purchase. Coquette has yet to let me down and then this happens. HUGE sad face.

I guess you get what you pay for. And you can't judge a product by its model. And airbrushing. I probably won't purchase anymore stockings from Coquette and just continue with their regular lingerie.
