A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was getting on board the time machine and planning to wear seamed hosiery like I did when I started exploring Mom’s wardrobe (until she switched to seamless hose). But first, I had to buy a pair, so I poked around Amazon and found a three-pack of On the Go black seamed thigh highs at $22.99 ($7.66 per pair), which is a reasonable price for thigh highs these days.
I promised that as soon as they arrived, I would try them on and let you know what I think. That was nearly four weeks ago and I forgot to tell you what I think, so better late than never…
Being on the high side of six feet, I worried that the thigh highs might not be long enough for my long gams, so I ordered the longest size available (L for Large) and crossed my fingers.
When the thigh highs arrived, I uncrossed my fingers and tried them on. I am happy to report that they were long enough and also that they were soft and smooth and looked great once I straightened the seams!
And so it goes.

Stockings are feminine, sheer stockings are very feminine, stockings held up by garter belts, corsets or girdles and extremely feminine, and seamed stockings are ultra-feminine. Even if your stockings are ultra sheer and barely detectable, the seams leave no doubt that you're wearing them. My favorite sensation when dressed en femme is the feel of my shaved legs in smooth shear stockings, especially when they rub together as I mince in my high heels and make that quiet shsssh shsssh sound. The tug as they pull on my garters is icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteAs I peck away on the keyboard this morning I am wearing a pair of traditional stockings held up by a white garter girdle. The stockings were bought from the Berkshire website. But, unfortunately, when I checked this now there are no traditional stockings to be had. I can remember there was a store at my local mall that sold hosiery, and, nothing but hosiery. Now, one is lucky to find a pair of classy pantyhose anywhere.
DeleteA picture posted of the long gams and straight seams would be greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteBrian Charles Rooney is a sopranist (a male soprano), so he would have sounded as good as he looked in Bedbugs. Despite all that I think he must be a civilian, as I couldn't find any other pictures of him en femme.

Show us your legs!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if you wore your new stockings in public and, if so, what sort of reaction you received.
