[X-posted] Wardrobe malfuntions

[kitchen_kink]

Wardrobe question here, particularly for the taller and/or bigger women in the group:

I've found that Frederick's of Hollywood, as well as the great site StockingsHQ.com, carry stockings - with or without need for garters - that suit my long-legged big-thighed self perfectly. Check it out.

What I'm looking for now are:

1. Tights, preferably very opaque, that don't itch or bind
2. Thigh-high socks (hey water_childe?) that stay up well and don't cut off circulation in the thighs or make them look like sausages
3. Thigh-high tights - if there are such a thing - which would be infinitely preferable to full length tights
4. Any other sexy options for staying warm under skirts - short or long - in the Boston winter.

Thankye, folks!

I think I need to go for garter-requiring thigh highs. My thighs already look like sausages, squeezing them to death with an elastic band just really doesn't help. Merg.

Plus, the elastic gets all rolly and crap.

Grrrrrr...

In other news, I think I see a niche market here....I really need to find me a serger, I could take any pair of comfortable, warm tights and make them naughty....


Sorry, I'm not being helpful, just being rambly.

I have not been, but I recently saw an ad on the T for a store called Tall Girl(s?)--a version of Big&Tall for women, I guess. Perhaps they would have something like that?

I am a fan of this place:

But I have yet to experience their thigh-highs. They do have cute tights though.

i was going to suggest them as well.

also: bafflement about the concept of thigh-high tights. the only thing i can think of like that is thigh-highs-with-built-in-garter-belt, but in general, my definition of "tights" means "includes panty area" (since you can have footless tights) and thigh-high means "doesn't include panty area."

Huh! That makes sense, but I read "thigh-high tights" as "thigh-high stockings in a thicker material". I think my definition of 'tights' is more 'hose that are thick and/or patterned', rather than 'stockings plus included panty area', but the second definition makes sense to me, too. Odd.

i have also had good experience with their very high socks and tights.

The EG Smith tights they sell are the best things ever. They're opaque, they're warm, they don't bind in freaky ways and last for years. YEARS!

Also, Land's End sells tights (through Sears and in my experience their stuff is good for the leggy).

Also, extra tall hose and tights
