Leg Avenue 1022 - Stay Up Sheer Thigh Highs, Einheitsgröße, Nude

Context: 5'0, 96 lbs, skinny legs, small frame, light-skinned AsianTl;dr: To the average population, nude is a good size but black may be small on you. To the tall, these may be too short because they actually fit me, and I'm very short. To average Caucasian skintones, nude may work on you. Quality seems to be about the same for both.I bought two of these: the Nude and the Black.The nude I'm going to list as "fits as expected" mainly because it is too big in circumference for my thighs. I expected that mainly because I'm a very small person, so if you're larger than me (as most of the population is), these may fit well. The length actually wasn't that big of a deal - it was about 3/4 up my thigh, which is where I like my thigh-highs. Being vertically challenged, I always wear short dresses and skirts, so I prefer having the lace up higher than midthigh. It fits the rest of my leg well with no sagging- only the thighs were the problem. Because it was loose in the thighs, I do not expect these to stay up very well - though I haven't worn them because the color is that awful. The nude color is *terrible* on me. It was just way too light and was clearly different from my arms and face. However, I am Asian, so it could just be a different undertone or something. I would've given these 2-3 stars, but the black ones saved the rating.The black ones are definitely "smaller than expected" because they fit me perfectly. I love these thigh-highs with a passion, and I really want to buy more. I love that they're sheer but not -too- sheer so that you can tell that you're actually wearing black stockings. They hit at the exact height I wanted and was a snug fit around my thighs with no bulges. The lace is sexy, and the hose feels comfortable. The sticky part isn't silicon-y, so it hasn't irritated my skin or anything. They actually do stay up without garters :) The lace seems rather flimsy and thin compared to other brands I've tried, but I actually don't mind. It makes them more flexible, I think, so that it moves with you.

So I tried out the nude to go with more outfits; maybe black would've looked better, i don't know. But the nude color was way too white looking!! I am somewhat tan and they were so white they looked ridiculous in contrast to the rest of my skin. Looked like they'd go with a nurse costume or something, they weren't practical for everyday use with cute skirts or dresses which was my goal. Also the top lace part fit fine over my thick thighs; however, it felt itchy kinda and awkward. I wouldn't have survived wearing them out! Low price so I just got rid of them!! No thanks

Love it

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these stockings. So pretty, they stay up perfectly without being pinchy or tight. As a very fair skinned woman, I don't always like seeing my pasty legs under dresses, nor do I want to don a pair of gross, suntan pantyhose...these are the perfect solution. Legs look polished and stockings barely noticeable, unless you are looking for them....and the times I have worn these I am pretty sure I noticed some people noticing..in a good way:^) Loved them so much bought more..they hand wash beautifulky. Great for the price!

If you have thick thighs these are a no go. These are SO pretty but they are not for a Queen Sized queen. They cut into my thigh and hurt for the night. I say either try to wear them just above the knee. I have chubby soft legs so they didnt work for me at all as far as fit go.
