Lovehoney Plus Size Black Wet Look Thigh Highs with Lace Tops

Size inclusive

I was kindly asked to review the Lovehoney Plus Size Wet Look Lace Top Hold Up Stockings and I gladly accepted. I was so thrilled that these stockings fit sizes 26-30. Unfortunately I have lymphoedema on my shin's, so it's a task and a half to get any type of wet look clothing past my knees. Lovehoney sell fantastic, size inclusive, own brand stockings, so I knew these would be just as amazing and I was not left disappointed. My first impressions were shock and amazement at the quality of the materials and the overall length and fit. If you're tall, you'll still get thigh high stockings. I'm 5'6" and can get the lace right up to my bum cheeks. If you're petite, you may struggle with the fabric gathering around the knees and ankles. I like how the seam runs down the back of the stockings and under the foot, however, there is the slight issue of the fabric gathering into a triangle between the big and 2nd toe. Not gonna lie, it's not a sexy look at all and anything I tried to get rid of it seemed to fail. Eventually I got used to it and luckily it wasn't noticed. The sultry lace top is a good width for my very chunky thighs. There's a great grip to the lace which meant the stockings didn't roll down, even after hand washing the stockings and if I feel the need for extra support, the Lovehoney Plus Size Wet Look Lace Top Hold Up Stockings look even better with suspenders. The wet look material does tend to gather and wrinkle at my ankles, but hey, they're not nylons, but a thicker material. You may need to consider a shoe size up to accommodate the stockings. I'd certainly be very happy to purchase these myself.

Pleasantly surprised

On opening the packet and unfolding the stockings, the foot shape stands out as looking somewhat like a box. It’s a bit better when you’ve worn them/are wearing them but you still end up with a pointy bit at the toes which is a little odd. I’m not used to wearing stockings or hold ups so was pleasantly surprised at how shapely these made my legs look and how comfortable they were. They gave me confidence and made me feel a bit naughty and minxy. It took a couple of attempts to get them to stay up in place, but I’m attributing that to my inexperience rather than the product because when I got it right, they didn’t move! I like that there are two strips of elastic rather than one for security to hold them up. They have a tendency to bunch and wrinkle around the knees but are easy enough to smooth out by readjusting the lace tops. The sizing is true for 26-30 which is a good thing.

Holds Up

If you are looking to add a different look to your normal hold ups to your wardrobe, have a look at these. These hold ups have a lace top and accompanied with the wet look fabric, they look great! They will make you feel great when you have them on too... So are there any drawbacks? The only issue is the shape of the feet which are a bit odd. Its worth wearing them for a bit to get them to stretch to the shape of your feet and are more comfortable without heels.

Look great on and add that little extra wow

This was my first time buying wet look items and I was pleasantly surprised ...these look great on and were relatively comfortable. I'm a 12/14 and 5'4" they were a little cutting around the tops of my thighs bit bearable and came up to a nice height. I found them a little odd on the feet and due to the seam they ended in a funny looking point.

Avoid

I purchased these along with other items from the fierce range without reading the reviews I wish I had read them first as others have said these arent comfortable or well made I completley agree and unfortunately they do sag in places making them look wrinkled really unflattering these do not stay in place either was really unimpressed with these! I had ordered these in the smallest size which was an extremely poor fit the feet on them is a really odd shape also there is a seam on this which I did not like they do have a nice shine and the quality of the material overall isnt actually too bad the material is quite stretchy just in the wrong places it's a shame as these are going straight in the bin

The look but not the fit.

These look great and are good quality but not really great for plus size gal's. Disappointed but hopefully I can alter them to be knee highs instead.

Hated These

Honestly I thought these would be sexy but overall they are horrible. the way they are made and the grip didnt do anything for keeping them up. Just overall VERY disappointed in these

Disappointed :(

I bought these in plus to go with a couple wet look items of lingerie. Although the lace tops have a bit of sticky lining so they don’t slide down your leg, this doesn’t stop them from rolling outward and down. It would be impossible to wear these without garter straps to hold them up.

Garments were very poor quality

Garments were very poor quality and more accurate sizing is needed, certainly not worth the money spent

Sexy legs

I got noticed real fast!

Terrible fit. Only one size. Far too big

These hold ups would be fantastic if they fit. There is only one size to choose from so if you have slim legs they are far too big and fall down. Totally disappointed with this product size. One size does not fit all!
