Nice Socks and Hoisery for large legs

[kyethra 0]

I've got big feet, while I prefer to call well defined calves, large ankles, and some big knees, and some really big thighs. It could be worse. I have family members with even larger legs than I. I believe the term hearty peasant stock might be used. Personally, my legs aren't the sort of thing I'm going to lose sleep over. But I find it frustrating when I can't get much in the way of hoisery or socks even because they don't make things that will fit. So I'm happy to report on stuff that does, in case there are others with big feet and well defined calves.

I've known about we love colors, Colored Tights, Fishnets, Leggings and Fashion Hosiery | We Love Colors for a while now. And I love their nice bright tights. Personally, I wish they had more of their selections available in plus sizes, but i'll take what I can get! dream socks is a recent discovery of mine. dreamsocks.com I ordered a couple pairs of thigh high socks that actually go up over my knees. Since it was 5 degrees today, thats the sort of thing I like right now. And they have some cool stuff. One pair of over the knee socks I ordered went up to my knees-- I wasn't expecting them to fit over my knees. The ones that went up on over my knees, and yes, over part of thighs, but just a couple inches of thigh, were their large Super Ms and their Super Dreamy Stockings.

While I'm on the subject of undergarments I might as well add that I decided to get a girdle sort of thing for daily wear due to the loose skin and so forth-- I'm happy with my svelte belt by body by nancy ganz.

You're lucky that you have everything you could imagine on the market over there - there's plus sizes here of course too, but far, far less and if you couldnt fit your legs into socks, I suspect you'd be going sockless in Australia.

I havent worn tights or pantyhose for about 12 years since I finished work to have my first baby, oh how I loathed them. But I had so much trouble even being 5ft 10 tall, the plus sizes were still too short and at 5ft 10 and 160lb I suspect I wouldnt have a hope of wearing "normal" sized hosiery even now.
