stockings for wide thighs

11 replies

stewmaker · 15/01/2011 22:02

ok, so i know they will never look great Grin but i would really like to find some stockings to fit my wide thighs!!

I am a dress size 20 with short dumpy legs but bags of confidence, and have tried loads. They seem to make them longer but not wider.

Can anyone help??

I would also prefer natural colour rather than black if possible.

Thank you

www.stockingshq.com do loads of sized stockings, which is what you want

yeah yeah, the Grin say sit all Grin

(the 6 or 8 metal clasp suspenders are v good for holding up stockings, ahem)

just ordered some from pandoras. this is the first time i have seen 'to fit dress sizes 16-24' hopefully that means they stretch widthwise.
the stockinghq go up sizes by making them longer which is no good for me Sad unless i missed something.....

tbh, you could have your mucky washing hanging frm them.. i think once the dh's see the clasps their brain hits meltdown and don't care what's hanging off the end of them Grin

Their larger sizes page is here

The 6 clasp belt is amazingly good - so comfy, and acts as a bit of tummy control too

Great to see another zombie stockings thread reignited tonight. Andrewwallace is having fun. I don't think I'd better comment on anymore otherwise people might start to think I'm like him.
