Getting the right pair of large stockings is essential for creating a perfectly polished ensemble. Stockings can give the legs a smooth, flawless look by covering any blemished or discolored veins. They also add a touch of class to formal wear when bear legs simply won't do. If you're currently in the market for large stockings, there are a few key factors that you should consider.
You need to account for the type of impression you want to make. If dressing especially for your significant other, a small flash of a seductive and sexy lace top stocking and garter could be ideal. If going to an important business meeting, however, it is probably best use a stockings that have a clean, seamless look that begins and ends well above the hemline.
Large stockings come in plus sizes and although they are designed to be held in place with garters and the clips that these contain, hold ups have a sturdy rubber grip around the top for support so suspender belts are no longer needed. If you are worried about the rubber grip pressing into the leg and creating noticeable bulges, look for options that lack this elastic addition like a normal large stocking. You will get plenty of support from any garters that you choose.
For women who prefer tights to stockings,our range of plus size tights are super and travel all the way up to the waist. There is no need to invest in or wear garters and you don't have to worry about having them roll down. Best of all, they can have in-built features for drawing the abdomen in with a control top. Theses are designed to create a smooth plane at the waistline and a perfect silhouette. The best of these options utterly eliminate the need to wear additional, body-shaping garments. More importantly, they can help you look amazing in any form-fitting dress without being too restrictive.
You will find large stocking options that range in denier from ultra sheer to opaque even wool. Sheer stockings tend to have the highest quality look and feel but they also come at some of the highest prices. Moreover, these options do not have as much elasticity as more opaque designs, nor will they effectively cover any veins or scars that you wish to hide. These are great for women who really want to show off a bit of leg but who want to wear stockings instead for the sake of modesty and to meet the requirements of formal dress codes. Opaque stockings provide great coverage and they won't bag as easily at the knee.

Although you might require a plus size when shopping with a specific brand, sizing is not uniform from one hosiery designer to the next.
