@Carrie Stuart I saw a waitress wearing black back seam pantyhose in a not so fancy restaurant. Perhaps you don't need a specific occasion to wear that 😉

@Steph T Have you tried the Girardi brand yet?

@steff cd Thanks, Steff.  Ya, kinda blew the spring budget for hosiery on that order.

@Steph T Thanks Steph.  I'm looking forward to feeling the difference.  That said, I already enjoy the difference higher quality hosiery brings with it through other top brands.

@Tom Woo Tip of the iceberg for musical interests, Tom.  My taste is wide and diverse.Im looking forward to an event which would call for something special like back seamed hosiery.  Such...

Congrats on the new purchase! Those back seam pantyhose are really sexy. Please do share some pics after putting them on! You also have a great taste in Vinyl records!

You will not regret trying the Silvia Grande hose hun!! They are very nice quality. 

awesome haul carrie , 😍

This week started off with a nice surpise from Shapings, a day earlier than Canada Post had projected delivery.  I received a tracking text early in the morning and by 1:30 PM, I was cutting t...

@JA LoL...I so remember buying pantyhose in beautiful egg shaped containers.  I liked the one with the silver foil-like wrap.  I think those were the Sheer Energy style. They weren't your...

@Carrie Stuart You are correct, Carrie.  "Knickers" and "bloomers" are two terms that came to mind when I wrote that line.  And I think "pannyhose" is just a way of "defusing" the word a ...

@JA "Pannyhose" is the lazy 'Murican way of saying it.  To me it sounds horrible.  There's a T in the spelling of the word for a reason!"Women's undergarments have taken on all sorts of n...

@JA Sheers is primarily used to distinguish between 2 different varieties or more specifically, "deniers" of hosiery that are often referred to as "tights".  If you ask a Brit about "pantyhose...

Women's undergarments have taken on all sorts of nicknames over the years to avoid the embarassment (for whatever reason) of calling them by their proper names. When the question of whether pantyh...

@D H You are soooo right right righty right!!  They are simply knee high stockings, or knee highs.  In certain applications, I've seen them termed as "trouser socks".  But I think th...

Even the term "nylons", which I use with less accuracy at times, doesn't accurately describe or depict certain hosiery items.  Once upon a time, (before pantyhose were invented) the word "nylo...

What? "Knee high pantyhose"? Ridiculousness. The "authors" clearly and completely show their lack of understanding. I am all for being concise, but that is just wrong. Wrong-y wrong. 

Personally, I like the term "pantyhose" because it is a descriptive term that, unlike the word "tights", clearly defines their function. And despite the fact they've been around for decades, panty...
