Glad you had more luck with these than i did. I am pretty sure it was sizewise that i purchased and my toes felt like they were being crushed in my shoes. They fell down later in the day and after two wears they ran.

Hi darlingz! I buy stockings from www.feelpretty.com, the ones called Kicks, come in Q1 and Q2, and knee highs that are only $1.50US per pair plus shipping. I have had zilch luck with lace tops as they seem to be much tighter in the top band. Perhaps I do have 'spillage' over the tops, but noone sees them! LOL! Well except hubby but he is only wanting me to take them off anyway ahem... :oops:

pantihose were the worse invention ever unless you are a stick insect. I went out to dinner tonight and spent more time in the ladies adjusting than i did eating! first thing i did on getting home was to as in the movies make my self more comfortable and get the danmed things off!!

I have been using a brand of pantihose called Silkies for a long time because of height (5 feet 11 inches) and my weight and the crotch isn't down to my knees :!: I haven't found them in a store just through mail order. You can find them at www.silkies.com

I can also vouch for Sizewise stocking socks from the supermarket. Have been buying them for years and years. They do sheer and opaque.
Johnson's Holiday Skin is similar to the Dove one. Haven't tried the latter but Johnson's is gorgeous. Great moisturizer and subtle self-tanner. Doesn't do the streaks around elbows and ankles.

Just thought I would share this poem I wroye many years ago when pantyhose first came out.

The Kiwi Amazon

Why don't they take me seriously?
I know I'm six feet tall
Built like an All Black forward
But inside I'm not like that at all

I want to melt into the crowd
Be just a timid soul
Be the dainty little fairy
And play a helpless role.

The day that tights were invented
I was filled with joyous glee
No more bending over
With stocking tops still at my knee.

But six foot people with three foot legs
Don't hold much hope at all,
For tights don't always fit them
Why am I so darned tall?

The pantie part starts just at the knee
To pull them up I've tried.
That's why I look so funny
When about to take a stride.

Hey why am I so grouchy?
It doesn't matter at all
Head and shoulders above the rest,
I love it - I'm six feet tall!

Hi. My site www.stockingsplus.co.nz addresses this very problem...

hhmmm.. this is an issue I really don't like to have. One time my Aunt got her sandal broke while we were in the middle of strolling the city. She had a really big feet and it was like the most toughest shopping I ever have done in my entire life. hehehe.. her feet won't fit to any shoes we have an eye with. hehehe. We end up buying a rubber flip flop instead. hahaha
