Ladies?

Postby shani182 »

I've been looking for a very very long time for stockings that fit me properly. I'm looking for a leg length of about 115cm. It sounds impossible :/
I've already tried thigh highs but wearing lacy stockings everyday isn't very practical.
David jones have a pair that do fit, but it has a very low denier and cost about 35 dollars per pair.
They're basically one time wear and I don't fancy paying 35 dollars five days a week.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated (:

When it comes to stockings I always go the cheap route: Maybe this helps?

Thanks dd. I've already tried plus sized, and it doesn't work too well because the stockigs end up being like a loose layer of skin because it is so big :/
I looked it up some more, and there is a brand that has extra extra tall, and if they don't have your size they make it custom. It does cost quite a bit, but I think I might get them cos I really don't have any other options apart from thigh highs, and I really don't want to feel like a hooker every day :/

Use fake tan and forget the stockings.

Uh...
Thanks guys? :P

My legs are too tanned for fake tan, hahah.
And I use stockings to keep my legs warm, so eyeliner's not the best idea. :P

Remember when you were a youngster on Christmas morning and the anticipation and excitement of unwrapping your favorite gift? :wink:
