Now these are different…
Wide Fencenet Footless Thigh Highs, with a toe loop…
or as the back label says “big checker thigh hi w/ring toe”
The worst thing about these is putting them on, or rather, finding your way through the center of the wide netting. The other thing about them is you better like the way your legs look before you put these on because they do nothing to hide your flaws, that said, they are just the thing for showing off your toned & tanned summer legs (okay, mine are semi toned, but nowhere near tanned).
Obviously these will look best with open-toed shoes or sandals, but they’d work with Mary Janes or mules or clogs or…
On me they went up to my thighs with ease, but I will warn you, they do that thigh bulge thing and let me tell you, your thighs do not need pudge to do the bulgie.
Xilia liked them best just over her knees (hopefully we’ll get a piccie & review from her next because she was wearing this pair when she left today). Now go file your toe nails and get yourself a pair of these so you can tell us what you think of them!

How well do they stay up? Thigh highs hate staying up on my legs generally, but those look sooo cute!

lol oh boy! not on me lol!, toned-not me!, tanned-I make porcelain look dark! and the feeling of being gently dented by them would probably drive me crazy lol I always get red marks of indentation under my net stockings and it wouldn’t look too good if they shifted

Review on how much I adore these on my wonderfully flawed legs to follow!:)

A hot look. Makes any legs look hot. Easy to wash. May lead to unusual tan lines.

That is the one thing about these that bugs me…. Because of the toe thingy I can’t wear any nice colored stockings underneath. I suppose I could try for other fishnets with an open weave at the toe, but I think that might look a bit to busy for my taste.

now we need some OTK tabi socks to wear under these ;o) tee hee

I’ve already asked! and was told that if ever they did find them they’d let me know. I’ve heard tell that thigh high tabis have been made somewhere deep in china. Any kind of rthigh high toesocks would be nice, we’re nearly out of the otk toesocks, hopefully they’ll have more of those in a month or so. I’ve been thinking about getting this pantyhose with the toes open, there is even a brand called toehose that I might bring in later when the budget alloiws (as usual I have not been sticking close enough to our budget and have wayyyy overspent:)

hey how would these look on the arms? putting a finger through the loop instead of a toe. could even put them over a really blousey type long sleeve top and pull little bunches through the spaces.. weird huh? lol ;o)
May 27th, 2005 at 2:33 am
i thought about those on the arms, too. :) and ‘kita, i’m right there with you. my big thing with socks is that #1: i have pale skin and dark hair, and even when i DO shave, you can usually still see where the hairs would be, and #2: i love short skirts, but i don’t love showing so much leg. fun and comfy socks keep my modesty and fashion sense happy!

The thing I like most about socks is that not only do they accesorize your legs but they also keep you warm. I hate when I shave and then grow stubble a little later cuz it’s a little cold out. Plus socks help when you want to wear a skirt and didn’t quite have the time to shave.

Ooh they’re so pretty! I love the pink and black.
June 9th, 2006 at 7:32 am
THOSE ARE AMAZING!!!! soooo sweet looking!
June 9th, 2006 at 7:42 am
Those are sooooo pretty! Don’t know what I’d ever wear them with but that doesn’t make them any less adorable!
June 9th, 2006 at 8:37 am
they’re really, really long, when I took them out of the package I was laughing… they’re about 6 feet long ;P

Weird! I never noticed this before, partly because I rarely select view image ~8)

oooohhhh. I am a HUGE fan of all things ruched, so I really go for these leggings. I noticed the manufacturer’s pic didn’t have as much ruching going and figured it’s because most models are 5′8″ and up. I go by your pics anyway, as manufacturers also photoshop pics which alter the item.

Someone as short as me would look like a Shar Pei dog in those as pretty as they look ;)
