criss cross

Oroblu Audrine

These are Oroblu Audrine tights. A net effect criss cross pattern making it look like fishnets. The “invisible” flat seam was comfortable and very streamlining.

I liked them.

Pretty in socks

I am pretty in socks today. Gotcha! Not real socks. These are Pretty Polly secret socks. Sock like material for the sick bit and a nice soft denier feel for the grid pattern top bit. Lovely and comfortable even though on second look they are a ML size rather than an SM. Think the socks helped by being socks and staying quite firmly in place just under the knee. The description call them “secret” because you can hideaway the sock underneath a pair of boots but why would you want to do that, ay?

Faux Christmas

This is my faux Christmas post. As I have mentioned before I am either still in hospital or I’ve been allowed to go home and heal, both situations are not ideal for hosiery wearing so this post was aptly chosen for the yuletide edition because of their cheekiness. They bring a little cheer into your lives.

Legsavenue “Hardcore net pantyhose” it says on the packet. Quite comfortable, gorgeous design. A crochet style fishnet creating a diamond, criss cross pattern. Having such big holes made them a bit difficult to put on with the holes becoming tourniquets on my toes. Then the interesting bit came along, a slight change in weave. The toes became a smaller fishnet which more or less worked to save my digits but with a bit of wriggling and stretching I did get a couple of strangled toe moments. They are not a thin thread but a thick string so still felt very warming despite the gigantic fishnet holes.

Gabriella holdups Alta

Today’s pic is of Gabriella holdups Alta. Black holdup stockings with a wide grid lacetop and geometric backseam pattern.

I loved the wideness of the lacetop.

Ballerina 127

Ballerina 127, sorry for the lack of imaginative title but this post is a bit late and a bit late in the day too. Lots of pictures though to show off all the features.

So Ballerina hosiery 127 hold ups, in black sheer with a lacetops

a lovely floral and cross hatch pattern.

Followed by mock suspenders,

leading to a side pattern which is both on inside and outside leg and a garland knee pattern encircling the knee.

I had major problems with them falling down. Not sure if this was because they have been frozen or if due to adjustment to get the correct positioning that I over fuzzed the glue. My advice is to not use a wet paper towel to clean the glue but a wet sponge, as the better option.

Finally one last view

Brighten things up with purple

Brighten up the day with this pair of purple tights. Quite hard to match with my usual professional garb but in order to highlight the day I wore them anyway. From my collection of “old” worn tights and I thought it was from good, sensible Marks and Sparks but the fit isn’t quite like them so no idea where they are from. I do know I got them from family one birthday quite a few years ago.

Hidden Gems

Hidden gems is what I found in this pair of tights. Thought I’d put on a pair of nicely patterned diamond criss cross spot design and found a cave full of treasures.

A side pattern

and it’s floral too, and a garter effect top!

This garter top also zig zags so I have added a back view with it peeking out.

So a standard day turned out to be quite exciting in the end.  😀

Garter Number 2

So did you guess the theme this week, it is garter tights. I like it when something is hidden and only I know is there. Makes me smile and so I can brighten people’s lives!

This pair is from Gabriella and are called Arina, black on skin.
